1 | Is judgement on judgement day private? | Rev 20:12 | biblicalman | 227929 | ||
Jesus said, 'nothing is hidden that will not be openly revealed, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light' (Luke 8.17). This suggests that God will deal with men on an open basis. Indeed the whole point of a court is not only that justice is done, but also that it be seen to be done. Thus it would appear that we will be judged in the open publicly. That is why the books are opened. However, the observers will be our fellow accused. They will not be tut tutting at your sins. They will be facing up to their own. However, having said that we must recognise that all the pictures of judgment are given in earthly terms. What wlll actually happen will be beyond our knowledge. And the judgment might well be over in seconds. God hardly has to hear the evidence. The purpose of the books is not to assist Him but as evidence before all of what we have done. But if you are a Christian then you are being judged for your success or failure in service. Every Christan will have praise of God (1 Corinthians 4.5). Our problem may be that there is little to be praised. There will be no question of judgment and punishment (Roman 8.1). |

2 | Is judgement on judgement day private? | Rev 20:12 | John Ryals | 227936 | ||
Help me. I am having some difficulity understanding what (Luke 8:17) has to do with 'Judgement Privacy'? The Candle is the subject and the context is (Luke 8:16-18) Christ, using Parables, is not meant to hide Truth form sincere, inquiring hearts, but rather the very opposite; (the teaching of Christ was designed to appeal to the honest, seeking heart; He wants men to "see the light"). In verse 17, He is addressing to the mysteries of the Gospel; and that it would all be made known in the New Covenant. Verse 18 refers to not only what is heard, but how it is heard; 'To him shall be given", constitutes a 'Divine Law' that whosoever accepts Truth will be given Truth. The last statement of verse 18 could be viewed as 'light rejected is light withdrawn.' |
