Subject: Judgement of believers |
Bible Note: CDBJ Okay I see your question and the answer depends on your perspective of the Rapture. If you believe in the rapture, as many believe is detailed in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18, the righteous dead would already be risen before the Occurance of what takes place in Rev 20:11-15. The righteous dead will be judged at the Bema Seat Judgment The Bible talks about the Judgment Seat of Christ--also referred to as the bema--in three places: Romans 14:10-12; 1 Corinthians 3:10--4:5; and 2 Corinthians 5:1-10. Only church-age saints will appear at that judgment, as shown in 2 Corinthians 5:10: "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ." http://www.gty.org/resources/questions/QA97/What-is-the-purpose-of-the-Judgement-Seat-of-Christ If on the other hand you do not believe in the Rapture then yes it appears that both the righteous dead and unrighteous would be at the Great White Throne. |
