I thought that God will create this. In Revelation, an angel told John a bunch of stuff and he wrote it all down. All except, of course, what the 7 Thunders uttered. He was not allowed to record what was said. Apparently, that is currently sealed up too along with some stuff that Daniel was writing down. Also, in Paul's vision he was not allowed to record everything either. Then there is that business with Jesus writing something in the dirt. I'm sure that He was not writing down a shopping list for His mother. Let's see, a loaf a bread, some figs, a pomegranate, and a quart of goat's milk. He didn't put a jug of wine on the list 'cause He will just make that Himself, draw a little water from the well, taste it, and call it good. Based on just the four instances mentioned about sealed prophecy there is still a lot to be learned in regards to the Word of God revealed in prophesy, especially as it pertains to end-time events.
Prophecy, it’s not what most think.

That's why Hebrews 10:12-13 says,
"12 But this One, having offered one sacrifice for sins in perpetuity, sat down at the right hand of God, 13 the henceforth awaiting until His enemies should be placed as a footstool for His feet."

"the henceforth AWAITING *until*..."
[this corresponds with Acts 3:21... which is NOT (and which chpt-section is also NOT) making the point that Jesus is "sitting on David's throne" (up in Heaven) presently ]

You post (3) verses from Revelation, there is no earthly kingdom or mortal humans seen Now what ya gonna do?
Now what ya gonna do?
20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and [I saw] the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received [his] mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This [is] the first resurrection.
20:6 Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

[to go with my Post #331 ^ ]
Compare:
Luke 22:30,16,18 with Matthew 19:28 (and then Matt25:31-34 for its TIMING):
Luke 22 -
30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Matthew 19:28 -
28 And Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you that in the regeneration when the Son of Man shall sit down upon His throne of glory, you having followed Me, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. [see Matt25:31-34 for its TIMING]

Yes, they certainly do.
I think it is sometimes easy to 'hear the voices of men' (there are many saying the opposite, as you know)... I am recalling friends who "changed their view" (taking steps further away from 'Truth') simply because those they "heard" (or "read") sounded "more intelligent" than those they'd listened to/learned from previously. In many cases, it is true that what they'd learned previously was, in some measure, "off," but instead of going to the Word (SEARCHING) "to see if these things be so," they settled for the more "intelligent-sounding" teachers (who, unfortunately, were further off track than those they'd come from). I've seen this so many times... it really saddens me.
