THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGEMENT.
The Great White Throne Judgement is the final, ultimate judgement described in Revelation 20:11-15, when all unbelievers and the unsaved dead resurrected after the millenium, stand before God sitting on a great white throne, presided over by Jesus Christ, to be judged by their works that has been recorded in open books, with those who are not found written in the Book of Life will be cast into the Lake of fire for eternal punishment, signifying the end of sin and separation from God.
THE TIMING.
This occurs after the 1,000-year reign of Christ (millenium) and Satan’s final rebellion, just before the New Heavens and the new earth.
WHO IS JUDGED?
All unbelievers, the wicked dead from all ages, and those whose names aren’t written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
PARTICIPANTS:
All unbelievers from all ages, including those who have rejected Christ and lived without faith in Him.
THE JUDGE:
Jesus Christ will be seated upon a pure, righteous White Throne.
THE PROCESS.
The sea, death and Hades release the dead. The Books (records of their deeds) and the Book of Life are opened.
People will be judged by their works performed on this Earth and whether their names are written in The Lamb’s Book of Life.
THE OUTCOME:
Those whose names are not found written in the Lamb’s Book of Life will be cast into the Lake of Fire, which is called the Second Death.
SIGNIFICANCE:
It is the ultimate display of God’s holiness, justice and righteousness, resolving the sin issue for all eternity.
TWO OR THREE JUDGEMENTS?
Some believers believe that there are three judgements.
- The BEMA SEAT JUDGEMENT. The first judgement of the sheep and the goats, or the judgement of the Nations, is found in Matthew’s gospel 28:31-3. It will take place after the Tribulation period and will determine who will enter the millennium.
- Believers will only go to the Judgement Seat of Christ.
- Non believers who have rejected God’s offer of Salvation through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice upon the cross of Calvary, will enter into eternal punishment. Romans 14: 10-12.
Not everyone believe these interpretations and they choose to believe that Revelation 20: 11-15 will be the time that the saved and the unsaved alike will be judged.
Those whose names are found in the Book of Life will be judged for their deeds in the flesh and will receive rewards or lose them.
Other Christians believe that the three judgments mentioned speak of one judgment, not three. So that the Great White Throne Judgement in Revelation 20:11-15 speaks of the judgement of both believers and unbelievers.
Matthew 25:31-46. Some believe that this passage refers to the Great White Throne judgement. But there is no mention of the resurrected dead.
Jesus refers to those He calls” my brethren”, who may refer to the Jewish remnant who will have preached the gospel to all nations during the tribulation.
WHICH VEIW IS RIGHT?
Great men of God who are revered as great Theologians differ from one another and cannot agree. Each teacher holds fast to their interpretation, believing it to be the truth of God revealed to them by the Holy Spirit.
As a novice, I dare not argue for or against their interpretations, but rather gather the significant facts written therein. The truths that cannot argued against.
The fact is that Jesus is definitely returning to Earth to establish His new, unshakeable Kingdom on a new Heaven and a new Earth.
The old Earth is totally destroyed by fire.
All men are sinners and Jesus is the only means of Salvation.
He completed the plan of redemption through His finished work upon the cross. He gloriously rose from the dead, opening the way to “Whosoever will may come, ” that “all men can be saved from death and Hell.” There is no other way to the Father but through Him.
There is a coming judgement for those who reject the offer of Salvation.
There are rewards for believers who have lived holy, obedient lives and are faithful unto death.
All believers are the, Bride of Christ and will attend the marriage supper of the Lamb.
There is no sickness, pain, sorrow or death in that Kingdom. All tears will be wiped away.
Praise God, there will be no sin or temptation to commit any form of evil.
Satan is cast into the Lake of Fire with his powers of darkness to be tormented forevermore.
There are additional details mentioned, and you should read and study them for yourself. Don’t be like the average Christian and skip reading the book of Revelation, and throw it in the too-hard basket.
Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to speak to you personally from His precious, exciting, life changing Word.
He will!!
Read the Gospels and the Epistles and learn how to live a life worthy of your calling. Grow in Grace and the knowledge of His Word.
Love not the World and the things in it.
Share the Gospel with the lost. Heal the sick, raise the dead, do the work of an Evangelist.
Put God first in everything you do, be continually filled with the Holy Spirit…The wonderful thing for which I am eternally grateful is…
I will not sin in that day, I will at last be living my full potential. That is an exact copy of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
What a privelege.
What a miracle.
A new creation fulfilling God’s perfect plan.
And that’s just the beginning of etrnal bliss the peace and joy of living in Heaven.
For, “GREAT IS YOUR REWARD IN HEAVEN.”
Amen.
Dear reader, the way is still open for you to to be a part of this future Kingdom.
Ask Jesus to be your Lord and Saviour!
Prayer…
Lord Jesus, I believe that you died for me, bearing all my sin and shame. I ask you to forgive and cleanse me from all sin. I believe you rose again, and your return is imminent.( VERY CLOSE)
I receive you as my Lord and Saviour. Amen.
