THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGEMENT

                                              

                                                   THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGEMENT

Text: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. 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 us briefly look at the meaning of the following words as used in this topic;The great white throne judgement.

THRONE:

1. a : the chair of state of a sovereign or high dignitary (as a bishop)

    b : the seat of a deity
2 : royal power and dignity.(sovereignty)

WHITE – Speak of the purity of this throne.- Why is it pure? Simply this: because there will not be one sin that will have a positive judgement from this Throne. This is an absolute authority, there's no leniency - there's absolute judgement. You won't be able to answer back to this Judge, you won't be able to plea your cause, you won't be able to sign a piece of paper and hope that a lawyer will be able to bring you to another court case, and will be able to let you get free. There will be none of that! And this Person - this pure, righteous, holy Person who cannot look upon a mistake, cannot look upon a sin, cannot even conceive a sin in His own mind - He will declare judgement, and it will be final. It's a Great White Throne.( REV 4:1-11)

JUGDEMENT .  This means separation-

The place of judgement, and this is a court scene - a bit like the courts that we would know (I hope you don't know too much about them, but you know what is there) - and the most important thing that is there, is the judge. Only this courtroom, and this court scene, is extremely different - because at this judgement Throne, at this judgement bar, there is no bargaining. At this judgement scene, there is no defence lawyer, there is no jury, there is no plea, there is no method of appeal and there is no leniency. All there is, is judgement.

WHO IS THE JUDGE?:Jesus is the only judge:John 5:22  ,                                                                                

“For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son.”

Romans 14:10 says:

“…for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.”

Jesus is the judge over all. He has been given the authority to judge by the Father. (See

John 5:26-27.)

John 5:30 tells us this about Christ’s judgment:

Matthew 25:31-33 & 46: defines these judgments:

“When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit

upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate

them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats. And he shall set the sheep

on his right hand, but the goats on the left…. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment:

but the righteous into life eternal.”

                                                                 TYPE  OF JUDGEMENTS

The Bible mentions three main judgments. The first one we will be considering is the

JUDGEMENT OF THE BELIEVER   1Peter 4:17 tells us:

“For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what

shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?”

Judgment does begin with the believers.

1 Corinthians 3:12-15 gives us this insight about the judgment involving the Christians:

“Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every

man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire;

and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work shall be burned, he sha

Colossians 3:23-24 we get an insight into our real reward:

“And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men: Knowing that of the Lord

ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.”

Our greatest reward is the inheritance of eternal life. (See Ephesians 1:11-14.)

Paul gives us this promise in 2 Corinthians 5:8:

TEMPORY HOLDING PLACE(HELL)

 God did not create hell for man; rather it was made as a holding place for the fallen angels

until judgment. Right now it is also serving as a holding place of punishment for unredeemed man

until the final judgment.

 HELL: an extremely unpleasant and often inescapable situation, a place or state of misery, torment, or wickednes,Hell is a place of  destruction.luke 16:19-30,2peter 2:4,isaih 5:14-15,Heb 9:27

What is the penalty? The penalty is hell. You know, the Bible speak about death, and death claims the body, hell claims the soul and spirit.

THE FINAL JUDGEMENT

This last judgment is everlasting punishment. It is referred to as the second death. It also

could be considered as the second separation from God. Remember that the first separation was hell.

This everlasting punishment is something we cannot comprehend. God did not choose this for man.

It is man who makes this choice when he rejects the salvation of God. When man denies his need

for God, he has simply made a choice not to spend eternity with his Creator. God will honor his

decision. The only place God’s presence will not be is in the lake of fire.

Rev 20:11-12: tells us about this judgment:

WHAT MUST I DO TO AVOID  THIS TORMENTING PLACE;,

You need to separate yourself from the world now .1 JOHN 2;15-17 ,  free yourself from every dealth works , put on the armour of light ,live a holy life, confess your sin to JESUS. 1 JOHN1.9.

NOTE;There is no repentance in the hell, no deliverance, no redemption, no forgiveness in this place, now is the right time to make  a quick decision , do not wait till tomorrow, tomorrow may be too late, hurry up,  ensure you make all possible best to snatch many souls out from this brick of hell .Jude:1:17-23.

From the above bible context;

King Manasseh was known to be a wick king during his reign, he was 8 years when he start ruling, that means, he  was crown immediately after the death of his father who was said to  be a good king who fears the Lord .He did not follow his father steps.

1.He did evil in the eye of the Lord .vs 2

2.He erected evils altars to the worship of baals and asherole poles, he destroyed the temple his father built and replaced it with man made altar.-ref to our present  churchs who have turned many churches into idolatry homes.

Another man who willingly surrendered his life to GOD is

Zaccheoues.luke 19;1-10

1.He acknowledged the presence of GOD,

2.He was known  as a  tax collector, dubious man, a sinner, however , he was highly recognised dubious man, in our present day, he occupied the post of that of Controller general,

3.He acknowledged that he was a sinner who need repentance, change, transformation.

4.He sought to see jesus as he passed through the gallely, because he was so short, he climbed the syscomore tree , -your limitation is not an excuse, academy , illiterate is not a criteria,

Jesus called him by name, jesus recognised  and was the willingness of his heart.

5He confessed his sin to God, he said if I have cheated any body, I will returned  it to them in four fold, which  I belived he did.

6. He received salvation .
