To answer your question, Crush:
I don't really have any other info - other than the verses.
Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. Rev 20:4
It does not say who sits on the thrones, but it says that judgement was given to them.

In Matthew, Jesus said that His disciples would sit on thrones in judgment.
And Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

It seems like a pretty clear connection to me.
Richard
