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; (Romans 2:5 AV)618. The LORD GOD's Last Judgment is also known at the Day of Wrath. 619. On the Day of Wrath, the righteous judgment of the LORD GOD will be revealed. 620. A hard and unrepentant heart prepares a person to take part in the Day of Wrath. 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. (2 Peter 3:7 AV)621. This earth and the present heaven are reserved to be burned in fire on the Day of Judgment and damnation of ungodly men. 31 ¶ 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: 32 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: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. (Matthew 25:31-46 AV)622. Jesus Christ shall come to earth glorified and sit on his throne of glory to judge the world. 623. The holy angels will be with Jesus Christ during his Last Judgment. 624. All the nations of the world will be gathered before Jesus. (All people of all the nations that have ever lived must stand before the judgment seat of Christ). 625. Jesus shall set the judged men on either side of him. Those on his right hand, symbolized by sheep, inherit the kingdom prepared for them from the foundation of the world. This will be eternal life. 626. Those judged men, symbolized by goats, are placed on the left side of him are cursed into the everlasting fire that was prepared for the devil and his angels. This is an everlasting punishment. 627. The Judgment of Christ is based on the righteous works. If the works of a person are righteous, he is judged favorably and rewarded with eternal life. If the works of a person were wicked, they are found guilty and damned. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (Hebrews 9:27 AV)628. People only die once. Judgment follows their death. Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. (Acts 17:31 AV)629. The LORD GOD has already appoint the Day of Judgment. He has already appointed Jesus Christ as the Judge that day. Only God knows the appointed day. 11 ¶ For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 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. 14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. (1 Corinthians 3:11-15 AV)630. A Christian's works are tested by fire, and made manifest on the day of their judgment. If the work revealed by fire is gold, silver or precious stone, the Christian will receive a reward. If the work revealed by fire is wood, hay or stubble, the Christian will suffer loss, but be saved. 9 ¶ The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.631. The LORD GOD is longsuffering toward men, and does not want them to perish, but to come to repentance. He has delayed the Day of Judgment with hopes that more people will choose His way. 632. The Day of the Lord, another name for the Day of Wrath, will come as a thief in the night. 633. On the Day of the Lord the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements and the earth shall melt with fervent heat, and all the works that are therein shall be burned up. 634. According to the LORD GOD's promise, Christians look for new heavens and a new earth where righteousness dwells. 635. A Christian should be watchful of the Day of the Lord, and be diligent about preserving his spiritual life that he is found in peace, without spot and blameless when the time comes. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. (Matthew 7:22-23 AV)636. Many people will stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ, and plead for his mercy and remind him how they prophesized, cast out devils, and did works in his name. Jesus says that many people that used his name, actually did works of iniquity, and would be judged accordingly, by removing them from his presence, and cursing them to damnation. 12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; 13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. 14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) 16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. (Rom 2:12-16 AV)637. Those people of the world that sinned without knowledge of the law, will perish without the law. 638. Those who sinned in the law, shall be judged by the law. 639. Hearers of the law are not deemed righteous. Only doers of the law are justified. 640. A person's heart and conscience will be examined for the works to be judged. Even a person's secrets will be judged according to the gospel of Jesus Christ. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. (John 12:48 AV)641. A person that has opportunity to receive Jesus Christ, yet rejects him and will not receive his words, will be judged by Jesus on that day, with the same words that were spoken earlier. In other words, if the person didn't listen the first time, he'll hear the words again; but this time with the curse of damnation added. 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. 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. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:12-15 AV)642. All persons that were resurrected from physical death, both great and small, stand before Jesus Christ. The dead are judged out of the books according to their works. Anyone not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire, with death and hell. 36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. 37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; 38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; 39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. (Matthew 13:36-43 AV)643. The Son of man, Jesus Christ, will send forth his angel and gather out of his kingdom all things that offend and bring iniquity. They shall be cast into a furnace of fire, where there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 644. The righteous will be gathered up into the Kingdom of God when the separation of the righteous from the wicked takes place. 6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; 7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. (2 Thessalonians 1:6-10 AV)645. There will be retribution to those who cause His people trouble. 646. The Lord Jesus Christ will be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, and take vengeance on them that do not know God and do not obey his Gospel. They shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power. 647. He will be glorified in his saints, and admired in all of them that believe in him on that day. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. (2 Timothy 4:8 AV)648. Those that love Jesus Christ's appearance will be given a crown of righteousness. 1 ¶ But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.649. Baptized and faithful believers in Jesus Christ cannot relax. They should watch and be sober for the Day of Judgment to come. 650. The LORD GOD has appointed the people of Christ for salvation, not His wrath. 651. To avoid facing the wrath of the LORD GOD, Christians should put on the breastplate of faith and love, and a helmet for the hope of salvation. 652. The Day of Wrath will sneak up suddenly as a thief in the night. Because a Christian does not walk in darkness, the Day of Wrath should not sneak up upon him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. (2 Corinthians 5:10-11 AV)653. We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, to receive just reward or punishment for his works while in the body. 654. We should warn the wicked concerning the terror of the Lord, but know in our conscience that we are saved. |
