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."
Immediately after the destruction of Satan and his armies, John Says, "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 (Rev 20:11). Then John describes the Judgment of the "Great White Throne;" However we shall go a little further.
The Subjects are the Wicked Dead. The time is during the Renovation of the Earth by Fire. The place; Before "The Great White Throne." Basis of Judgment will be their Works. The result will be Cast Into the "Lake of Fire." The account is given in Rev: 20:11-15. It will take place at the close of the Millennium a 1000 years after the Judgment of the Nations, and before the "Great White Throne."
The "Great White Throne" will not be on earth, because the "Great White Throne Judgment" will take place during the renovation of the earth by fire, because the "renovation" of this Earth is reserved or kept until the time of that Judgment, that Peter calls "The Day of Judgment and Perdition of Ungodly Men" (2Pet. 3:7), because the Judgement of the "Great White Throne" is the Judgment of the Wicked dead.
All the Righteous dead will arise at the First Resurrection. If any Righteous die between the First Resurrection and the Resurrection of the "Wicked" or Second Resurrection they will rise with the wicked at that Resurrection. The words; Whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life (vs. 15), implies that there will be "some," probably very few, Righteous at the Second Resurrection. At the close 0f the Millennium and just before the renovation of the earth by fire, the living Righteous will probably be transformed, and the living Wicked, and Ungodly will be destroyed in the flames that will consume the earths atmosphere and exterior surface.
The Wicked and Ungodly will not be judged to see whether they are entitled to Eternal Life, but to Discover For Certainty the "degree" of their punishment. The sad feature of this Judgment will be that there will be many kind of lovable people "There" who were not "Saved," and who will be classed among the "Ungodly" because they rejected Christ as a their Saviour. The"Books" will be opened in which the "Recording Angel" has kept a record of every person's life, and they will be judged every man according to his "Works." Some will be sentenced to a more severe punishment than others, but none will escape. The worst of all is, that those who were not so bad must spend Eternity with the ungodly, in the “Lake of Fire.” Their punishment includes the “Second Death,” which means, as we have seen, that they shall lose their resurrection body, in which they were Judged and become “disembodied spirits” again, and so exist in the “Lake of Fire” FOREVER.
What a Judgment Scene that will be. There will be Cain and the wicked, before The Flood that took place after Noah built the Ark; the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah; Pharaoh, Ahab, Jezebel, Judas and all those Scribes' and Pharisees and Chief Priests who caused the Crucifixion of our Lord, and did not repent, and Ananias and Sapphira, and the great host of the wicked and all those who by choice rejected Christ in all nations and through all ages.
The “Fallen Angels” (not the Devil's angels) who are “reserved in everlasting chains under darkness,” will be Judged at this time, which Jude calls the “Judgment of the GREAT DAY.” (Jude 1:6.) When this Judgment is over the Devil and his angels, and all the ungodly, will have been condemned to the “Lake of Fire,” and the Universe purged of all evil, and righteousness shall reign supreme on the New Earth.
Amen!!
