Bible Question:
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? |
Bible Answer: 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 |
