I don't know, of course, but I'm leaning in that direction. As one thing is for sure: God is not just searching us individuals, he is searching his kingdom, his uncorrupted area in this world. So I would put it this way: I am open to the idea that those who in the last days persevere in God's work with his church, those who are real "co-workers", will also co-govern.
