THE WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT

According to our mode of death, everyone’s body is either buried in the earth, on the earth or in a body of water. When we die, our spirit goes to Hades, the resting place of unbelievers, or into the presence of God. This destination is determined by the decision we made during our lifetime to accept Christ as our Savior. The Word states in Hebrew chapter nine that after you die, then comes the judgment. There is no decision after death or reversal of the choice you have previously made.

As we continue reading Revelation twenty, we learn of the white throne judgment where unbelievers will be judged. Can you imagine what it will be like? Zillions and zillions and zillions of people will be standing before the great white throne for judgment. I can only imagine with all those people it is going to be a long, long, long process.

Every living unbeliever, along with every unbeliever that has died since the beginning of creation will be judged: small, great, old, young, even prehistoric man, no one is exempt. In our world, there has been: the mentally ill individuals, aborted fetus’, people who have never heard the gospel message, physically challenged individuals, all of whom will be at the white throne judgment.

People will be judged according to their works that are written in books that Jesus had and if their name was not written in another open book called the book of Life they were cast into the lake of fire for eternity. The first death consists of the separation of the spirit from the body for a season. The second death is a separation of the spirit and body from God forever.

Already in the lake of fire were: the Antichrist, the false prophet and Satan. Many will be joining them, and according to the Bible they will be tormented forever.
