Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

We need a correct sense of proportion. "Do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you..." It's wonderful to have a successful ministry - one that changes people’s lives. But it's a far more wonderful thing that we should belong to God in the first place!  Success makes us proud - but we know that none of us has any right to have our names in God's book. It's possible to cast out demons and yet be excluded from the Kingdom (Matthew 7:22,23).

In this passage Jesus is telling the disciples; 

You can rejoice in some things as in this situation "that the spirits are subject to you", but rejoice that your names are written in Heaven. 

"Our names are written in Heaven", that must have the disciples wondering about a lot of things...

The Jews (and that includes the Israelites- the Gallilians),  believed and hoped that their names are written in the bossom of Abraham. 

And we see that from the things Jesus said about the Rich and Poor Lasarous...

Jesus is telling them that their names are not written in the bossom of Abraham, which we can deduce by Jesus telling them that their names are written in Heaven. 

We can learn something from Jesus, who if he had say first that your names are not written in the bossom of Abraham..

That would have freak out the disciples for they would have seen them selfs toggether with the rich Lasarous. 

Jesus said the Good News first; "your names are written in Heaven". 

Jesus introduces them to the "New Heavenly Inheritance" for mankind...

At this particular time it mentioned only  the disciples and did not expanded to include both the Jews and the Gentiles and how that will happened. 

Jesus is telling them many things will be soon change...

And we know when that took place " God raised Jesus from the dead and gave him Heaven as his inheritance", and not just for him only, but also for everyone who believes in him...

Jesus talked more than once about the "Good News", about the Heavenly Inheritance. 

"In my "Fathers House" they are manny mansions and there is a place for you there",

He said that his Father is the Heavenly Father, 

Jesus did not speak like the others who said " "our Father is Abraham", putting them shelfs in the Bossom of Abraham", 

Jesus put himself together with the "Heavenly Father".

He did not denied that he was borned in Bethlehem...and that he grew up in Nazareth. 

Jesus foretold them that they will never discend to the bossom of Abraham and that at the time of their death that they will ascent to Heaven...

That was an assurance also for him, that he will suffer alone, and he alone will die and descent to the Bossom of Abraham, and to the rest of the places of the dead preaching the Gospel of Life and the Heavenly Inheritance.
