It's a metaphor; - Like "lifetime guarantee," which doesn't mean
your lifetime but rather the lifetime of the product.
When Jesus talked to his disciples about the investments they had made in his Cause, he promised that they would -
A. - get back a hundred times more than they had invested.
B. - would become governors, ruling the twelve tribes.
C. - and would receive eternal life.
Sounds pretty good eh?
"Stick with me and you will become rich governors for life."
Jesus then adds a note of caution, saying that the chain of command will be rearranged. [good soldiers don't always make good governors]
Too bad it didn't work out for them. They were, instead, hunted down like rabble rousing patriot dissidents. But then again, that is what they were isn't it?
