paliggenesia the noun seems to only be used twice in the scriptures.
Matthew 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
In the first passage, I read that Jesus is placing this as happening when He sits on His throne yet the second seems to imply that it has happened for us already. To muddle the situation Jesus tells, the twelve that they will be sitting on thrones judging the tribes of Israel.
Personally I like to think that I have been washed by the blood of Jesus and have been renewed by the Holy Ghost, yet why would Jesus tell those closest to Him that they will have to wait? If I will "judge angels" (1Cor 6:3) will that be from a throne?
