Considering A SPECIFIC NUMBER (100,000,000) at the First Resurrection

Judgment is given to the saints of the most High (Dan.7:22, 1 Cor.6:2-3 below).

The Apostles will judge the twelve tribes of Israel (Matt.19:27-28, 1 Pe.4:17, Rom.2:9-10 below), the number so great that they CANNOT be measured nor numbered (Hosea 1:10 below); ALL Israel shall be saved (Rom.11:26 below).

At Daniel 7:10 below, we see a SPECIFIC number (a number that CAN BE COUNTED); one ministering before God for every one hundred standing before the judgment seat of God.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT - I am thinking (and almost believing) that the SPECIIFIC number we see standing before the judgment seat of God are not all who are raised at the first resurrection. I am thinking that since the Apostles judge the tribes of Israel and ALL Israel shall be saved and that they are so great a number they cannot be measured nor numbered, we are seeing not Israel as part of Daniel 7:22, but rather those Gentiles who have been judged to take part in the first resurrection WITH Israel. In other words, one hundred million (100,000,000) Gentiles will also take part in the first resurrection after the Millennium.

Dan.7:22 Until the Ancient of days (Dan.7:13) came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High (1 Cor.6:2-3, Re.15:3); and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom (Dan.7:18).

1 Cor.6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world (Dan.7:22 above)? and if the world shall be judged by YOU, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

1 Cor.6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

Matt.19:27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?

Matt.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.

1 Pe.4:17 For the time [is come] that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if [it] first [begin] at us, what shall the end [be] of them that obey not the gospel of God (Ro.2:9-10 below)?

Rom.2:9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first (1 Pe.4:17 above), and also of the Gentile;

Rom.2:10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:

Hos.1:10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered (Gen.26:4); and it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye [are] not my people, [there] it shall be said unto them, [Ye are] the sons of the living God.

Rom.11:26 And so ALL Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob (Gen.49:28 above):

Dan.7:10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands (1,000,000) ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand (100,000,000) stood before him; THE JUDGMENT WAS SET, and the books (plural) were opened (Re.20:12).
