BIBLE STUDY PROPHECY
AFTER THE
END TIMES ARE OVER AND THE 1000 YEAR TIME PERIOD KNOWN AS
MILLENNIUM
HAS PASSED
... IT IS TIME FOR THE GREAT WHITE THRONE
JUDGMENT. THE TIME TO ETERNALLY PUNISH THE ONES WHO CHOSE NOT TO BELIEVE
IN JESUS AND TO REWARD THOSE WHO KNEW THE TRUTH AND FOLLOWED IT ...
ARE
YOU PREPARED FOR THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT?
Most everyone has heard
the term 'Judgment Day' before. Most of us picture in our minds, standing
before God with a big white wall that displays every sin we ever committed
in our lives.
Well, nobody knows if
that's exactly what it will be like or not, but let's see what the Bible
says about what we can expect on Judgment Day.
But before we do ... Here is something VERY
important to remember.
Jesus spoke these
unforgettable words:
Paul talks about this too
... that we all sin, so to judge another, is just like convicting
ourselves.
|
Romans 2:1-11
Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man,
whosoever thou
art that judgest:
for wherein thou judgest another,
thou
condemnest thyself;
for thou that judgest doest the same things. But we are sure that
the judgment of God is according to TRUTH against them which commit
such things.
And thinkest
thou this, O man,
that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same,
that thou
shalt escape the judgment of God?
Or despisest thou the riches of His goodness and forbearance and
longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to
repentance? But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest
up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the
righteous judgment of
God;
Who
will render to every man according to his deeds:
To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and
honour and immortality, eternal life: But unto them that are
contentious, and do not obey the TRUTH, but obey unrighteousness,
indignation and wrath, Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of
man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; But
glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew
first, and also to the Gentile: For there is no respect of persons
with God. |
Jesus said:
|
Matthew 12:36-37
But I say unto you, That every
idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in
the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and
by thy words thou shalt be condemned. |
The Bible also gives us
some words of admonishment from the Apostle Peter about Judgment Day:
|
2 Peter 2:9-22
The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to
reserve the unjust unto the
day of judgment
to be
punished: But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of
uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. Whereas
angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing
accusation against them before the Lord. But these, as natural brute
beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things
that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own
corruption; And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they
that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and
blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they
feast with you; Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease
from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised
with covetous practices; cursed children: Which have forsaken the
right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son
of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; But was rebuked
for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the
madness of the prophet. These are wells without water, clouds that
are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved
for ever. For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they
allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness,
those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. While
they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of
corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought
in bondage. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the
world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,
they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is
worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them
not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have
known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But
it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is
turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her
wallowing in the mire. |
The Great White Throne
Judgment in the book of Revelation:
|
Revelation 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. And 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. And 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. And death and hell were cast into the lake
of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found
written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. |
Let's take these verses, one at a time and discuss each one as to get a
better idea of how things will happen, when Judgment Day arrives.
|
Revelation 20:11
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. |
It's a
little hard to imagine, but at the time of the Great White Throne
Judgment, the earth and the Heaven, the ones that God created alllllll the
way back in Genesis, flee away ... they are needed no longer.
The Apostle
Peter also describes that just as the earth was destroyed by the Great
Flood, it awaits destruction by fire on Judgment Day:
|
2 Peter 3:7
But the Heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are
kept in store, reserved unto fire against the
day of judgment
and perdition of ungodly men. |
The
next verse reveals that
God judges the people:
|
Revelation 20:12
And 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. |
If one's name is not written in the
Book of Life ... They are going to the Lake of Fire.
|
Revelation 3:5
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and
I will not blot out his name out of
the book of life,
but I will confess his name before my Father, and before His angels. |
|
Revelation 13:8
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him (the beast),
whose names are not written in
the book of life of the Lamb
slain from the foundation of the world. |
In the next verse ... The rest of the dead souls were brought up out of
hell.
|
Revelation 20:13
And 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. |
So ... the
souls of the unbelievers in hell are brought before God to be judged next
and hell is cast into the lake of fire.
|
Revelation 20:14
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the
second death. |
The
first death is the death of the body or the flesh.
The second death is at
the Great White Throne Judgment, for those who don't overcome.
You may
have never thought that something that isn't in our physical realm could
be thrown into the lake of fire, but at the Great White Throne Judgment,
God tosses death and hell in there ... that is to say that there will be
no more death ... or hell after that, because those who have overcome will
have eternal life.
|
Revelation 20:15
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast
into the lake of fire. |
Anyone
who's name isn't in the book of life, goes to the lake of fire.
Don't be
mistaken ... now, just because these are souls that are going there, just
like death and hell are not tangible things, neither is a soul ... but if
you're under the impression that once a soul goes to the lake of fire, it
is burned up and all the pain and agony ends ...
Y ou
are mistaken, because the Bible clearly states that:
|
Revelation 14:9-11
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any
man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his
forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the
wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of
his indignation; and he
shall be tormented
with
fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the
presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up
for
ever and ever: and
they have no rest day nor
night, who worship the
beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. |
AND
...
|
Revelation 20:10
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and
brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and
shall be tormented day and night for
ever and ever. |
It is obvious that the souls that end up in the Lake of Fire ARE tormented
day and night FOREVER.
On the
other hand ... Those who are written in the book of life ... will live
forever.
The Apostle John
tells us that if we live in the love of Christ and follow His way, we can
have confidence in the day of judgment:
|
1 John 4:17
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the
day of judgment:
because as He is, so are we in this world. |
The
prophet Daniel also wrote of his vision of the Great White Throne
Judgment:
|
Daniel 7:9-14
I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days
did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head
like the pure wool: His throne was like the fiery flame, and His
wheels as burning fire. A fiery stream issued and came forth from
before Him: thousand thousands ministered unto Him, and ten thousand
times ten thousand stood before Him:
the judgment was set, and the books
were opened. I beheld then
because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I
beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and
given to the burning flame. As concerning the rest of the beasts,
they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged
for a season and time. I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one
like the Son of man came with the clouds of Heaven, and came to the
Ancient of days, and they brought Him near before Him. And there was
given Him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people,
nations, and languages, should serve Him: His dominion is an
everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom
that which shall not be destroyed. |
Still
worried about that big white wall?
Do not forget about God's
GRACE.
Love is
also something that we should never neglect, because it may also be part
of our
SAVING GRACE.
|
1 Peter 4:8
And above all things have
fervent charity among yourselves: for
charity shall cover the multitude of sins. |
|
Proverbs 10:12
Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. |
And above all ...
|
John 3:16-17
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting
life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world;
but that the world through Him might be saved.
|
Alleluia!
Though the world is in
quite a mess, and we as Christians await the Day of the Lord with
anticipation, because of our longing to be with Jesus, we are not to hope
for it to get here.
The Bible says:
|
Amos 5:18-20
Woe
unto you that desire the day of the LORD!
to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is
darkness, and not light. As if a man did flee from a
lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house,
and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit
him. Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and
not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it? |
We are not to look
forward to such a day where so many will be sentenced to eternal
suffering.
So again ... THE GREAT WHITE
THRONE JUDGMENT
GOD WILL JUDGE EVERYONE
The book of life is opened to see who
will enter Heaven and who will go to the lake of fire to be tormented
forever. Those who were not written in the Book of Life are
thrown into the
Lake Of Fire.
Those who are
written in the book of life, will live forever.
Then, God
will create a new Heaven and new Earth, for the present
Heaven and Earth are passed away and there is no more sea.
GOD WILL CREATE A NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH
BUT
WHY?
Ponder on this ...
Heaven and Earth were created in the
beginning ...
|
Genesis 1:1-2
In the beginning God created the heaven and the
earth. And the earth was WITHOUT FORM AND VOID ; and
darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the
Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
|
It is also written that God will make the earth void
again ...
|
Jeremiah 4:22-27
For my people is foolish, they have not known me;
they are sottish children, and they have none
understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do
good they have no knowledge. I beheld the earth,
and, lo, it WAS WITHOUT FORM AND VOID and the
heavens, and they had no light. I beheld the
mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills
moved lightly. I beheld, and, lo, there was no man,
and all the birds of the heavens were fled. I
beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a
wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken
down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce
anger. For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land
shall be desolate; yet will I NOT MAKE A FULL END
|
And then He will create a New Heaven and New Earth,
just as He did in the book of Genesis.
|
Isaiah 65:17
For,
behold, I create new heavens and a new earth:
and the former shall not be remembered, nor come
into mind.
|
Just
as He has said He would after the Millennium.
|
Revelation 21:1
And
I saw a new heaven and a new earth:
for the first heaven and the first earth were passed
away;
and there was no more sea.
|
It
is OBVIOUS that the earth somehow becomes without form and
void from SOMETHING and God said HE was going to do so,
but that He would not make a full end and He said that
He would make a New Heaven and New Earth.
Could this mean RENEWED?
Question ... What if God regenerates the Earth every so
often as to cleanse it as these Scriptures suggest ...
THIS
METHOD OF CLEANSING HEAVEN AND EARTH APPEARS TO HAPPEN
EVERY 7000 YEARS

REVELATION
CHAPTER 21-22 REVEAL WHAT
IT WILL BE LIKE.
I WILL LET THE BIBLE SPEAK FOR
ITSELF CUZ NOBODY COULD EXPLAIN IT
AS WELL AS IT IS DESCRIBED THERE.
REVELATION CHAPTER 21
1And
I saw a new
heaven and a new earth:
for the
first heaven and the first earth were passed
away; and
there was no more sea.
2And
I John saw
the holy city,
new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of
Heaven,
prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3And
I heard a great voice out of heaven saying,
Behold,
the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will
dwell with them,
and they shall be his people, and God himself
shall be with them, and be their God.
4And
God shall
wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be
no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there
be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away.
5And
he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things
new. And
he said unto me, Write: for these words are true
and faithful.
6And
he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and
Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give
unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the
water of life freely.
7He
that overcometh shall inherit all things;
and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8But
the fearful, and unbelieving, and the
abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and
sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall
have their part in the lake which burneth with
fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
9And
there came unto me one of the seven angels which
had the seven vials full of the seven last
plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come
hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's
wife.
10And
he carried me away in the spirit to a great and
high mountain, and
shewed me that
great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out
of heaven from God,
11Having
the glory of God: and
her light was
like unto a stone most precious, even like a
jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12And
had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates,
and at the gates twelve angels, and names
written thereon, which are the names of the
twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
13On
the east three gates; on the north three gates;
on the south three gates; and on the west three
gates.
14And
the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and
in them the names of the twelve apostles of the
Lamb.
15And
he that talked with me had a golden reed to
measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the
wall thereof.
16And
the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as
large as the breadth: and he measured the city
with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The
length and the breadth and the height of it are
equal.
17And
he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and
forty and four cubits, according to the measure
of a man, that is, of the angel.
18And
the building of the wall of it was of jasper:
and the city was pure gold, like unto clear
glass.
19And
the foundations of the wall of the city were
garnished with all manner of precious stones.
The first foundation was jasper; the second,
sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth,
an emerald;
20The
fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the
seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the
ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the
eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
21And
the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every
several gate was of one pearl: and the street of
the city was pure gold, as it were transparent
glass.
22And
I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God
Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
23And
the city had
no need of the
sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for
the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is
the light thereof.
24And
the nations of them which are saved shall walk
in the light of it: and the kings of the earth
do bring their glory and honour into it.
25And
the gates
of it shall not be shut at all by day:
for there
shall be no night there.
26And
they shall bring the glory and honour of the
nations into it.
27And
there shall in no wise enter into it any thing
that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh
abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are
written in the Lamb's book of life.
REVELATION CHAPTER 22
1And he shewed me a
pure river of
water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out
of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2In
the midst of the street of it, and on either
side of the river,
was there the
tree of life,
which bare
twelve manner of fruits,
and
yielded her fruit every month:
and the
leaves of the tree were for the healing of the
nations.
3And
there
shall be no more curse:
but the
throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it;
and his servants shall serve him:
4And
they shall see His face;
and His
name shall be in their foreheads.
5And
there
shall be no night there;
and they
need no candle, neither light of the sun;
for the
Lord God giveth them light:
and they shall reign for ever and ever.
6And
he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and
true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent
his angel to shew unto his servants the things
which must shortly be done.
7Behold,
I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the
sayings of the prophecy of this book.
|
God will then dwell with mankind
Revelation 21:3
... There shall be no more tears, death, sorrow or pain Revelation
21:4 ... He that overcomes, shall inherit all things and
become a child of God
Revelation 21:7
...
The New Jerusalem will be beautiful Revelation 21:10-22 ...
The city will not need the sun or moon, for God is the light.
Revelation 21:23 ... A river of life flows from God's throne through the land and the
Tree of Life will bare 12 manners of fruit, and the leaves from
the tree will be used for healing.
Revelation 22:1-2
... There will be no night time nor darkness
Revelation 22:5
...
So you see it is not over when the End Times are
over ...
It is not over when the Millennium begins ...
Many like to create their own view of what is going
to happen and limit God.
God has already laid out His plan. From the
beginning to the END
GOD HAS GREAT PLANS FOR THOSE WHO HOLD
ON TO THE HEAVENLY HOPE AND OVERCOME.
