,the wheels thereof burning fire. A fiery stream issued and cameforth from before Him, thousand thousands ministered unto Him,and 10,000 times 10,000 stood before Him; the JUDGMENT was set,and the Books were opened. Dan. 7: 9-10 R. V. This is Daniels foreview of the JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST. While the Thrones were placed (ready for those who shouldbe found worthy to occupy them) they were as yet unoccupied.Their occupancy awaited the outcome of the Judgment. Now as theThrones that John saw were occupied by crowned Elders. Thenthose Elders must have passed the fiery test of the Judgment ofReward (2. Cor. 5:10, 1. Cor. 3:11-15), and received their crowns.Those Crowns are five in number. The Incorruptible Crown.1. Cor. 9:25-27. The Crown of Life. Rev. 2:10. The Crownof Glory. 1. Pet. 5:2-4.

Rev. 5:9-10. Now this could not be said of angels, or any other created heav-enly beings, for they have not been redeemed by the Blood of theLamb, nor are they to be Kings and Priests on the earth. While the Elders sit on Thrones and wear Crowns, they arenot dressed in royal robes but in white raiment, the garment of aPriest. They are the members of a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD.1. Pet. 2: 9. That the time has not yet come for them to reign isclear, for they are engaged in Priestly duties, having Golden Vialsfull of odors, which are the prayers of saints, in their hands. Rev.5: 8. These saints are not the saints of the Church, but the Jewishsaints on earth during t
