1 | Are there different judgments? | Bible general Archive 4 | dwilliamson | 217329 | ||
I would like the opinion/exposition of forum members in relation to the various judgements recorded in Scripture. In Matt 25v31-46 we read about "all nations" being gathered and the "Son of Man" shall "separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats". In Rev 20v11-15 we read about the great white throne judgment where "the dead, small and great stand before God" etc. In 1 Cor 3 v13-15, 4v5 another judgment appears to be in view - a judgment of the believers works. Notice on one occasion it is "all nations", on another "all the dead", and on another "Each man" who builds into the church. How do forum members view these judgements - as one and the same occasion, or as different occasions? |

This is a dividing judgment for those that are left, very few, on the Earth after God pours out His wrath of destruction by fire, before He sets up His Earthly Kingdom. This is the Judgment before Christ 1000 Year reign is established. The judgment of; Rev. 20:11-15 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. This is the final judgment where the eternal abode for all those who haven’t believed in Christ is consummated. Hell, as we know it, is but a temporary place of confinement holding in reserve the unbelievers that have rejected God’s plan for eternal life in Christ. Those condemned at the white throne judgment will enter their final abode, which was actually prepared for the disobedient angles including Satan and one third of his following angles. Those in Hell will experience a second separation from the presence of God with a resurrected body that can never be destroyed but will constantly be going through the process! All judgment mentioned in the Bible take place with the Son, Jesus Christ, residing as judge on the bench of authority. John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Thanks CDBJ, I appreciate that. So, do you believe the order in which these judgments take place is as follows: 1. 1Cor3. When the Lord returns to the air to receive his church/bride to Himself (1 Thess 4v13-18, 1 Co 15v51-58). At this time, or shortly after will be the Judgement seat of Christ where the works/attitudes of Christians will be judged and their rewards will be determined. This will precede the Tribulation period. 2. Matt 25. This judgement will take place after the tribulation period and before the setting up of the earthly Kingdom for the millenium. What will here be decisive will be how, during the tribulation period, the various nations have dealt with the Lords earthly people (the Jews). Their attitude to the Jew in that day will reveal whether they have faith or not! 3. Rev 20. This is after the millenium when all that will die will have died. Thus the "dead small and great stand before God". This refers to those who are not saved only. Very solemn. "O awful day, who would not be, Sheltered O Lamb of God in Thee." |

I would go along with what you have suggested, except for the following; “The various nations have dealt with the Lords earthly people (the Jews).” It’s not the "Jews" in general that are God’s, people since they rejected Him at His first advent. The people of God are believers, be they Jews or gentiles, male or female: those that have believed in God’s Christ, which is Jesus, the second person of the trinity. If you can figure this out then the conclusion continues on to the next step or likely question. CDBJ |
