       The angels assured the disciples that Jesus would be back to establish that kingdom. Fast forward at least a couple thousand years later. Jesus does return to the earth and establish his kingdom, after taking out his enemies—those who don't agree with him (see Revelation 19, 20). The disciples finally get the kingdom they've been waiting for. Jerusalem becomes the capital of the world, and the disciples reign with Christ for a thousand years. They finally receive what they had been waiting for for such a long time. But they get even more than that. John records for us in Revelation 21:14 about the New Jerusalem, after God creates the new heaven and new earth: “And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb” (Revelation 21:14, ESV). So, not only does Jesus not leave his disciples hanging with the Millennial Kingdom, but he gives them even more than they could have ever imagined. They have a place in human history—one that never can be taken away from them. They have monuments in the New Jerusalem. God never lets his people down.
