Revelation chapter 20, and we'll read verses 11 through 15. John said, 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 his 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. And so we'll look at this passage tonight as I speak for a bit tonight on the subject, the final judgment of the unsaved. now father uh... please help tonight as we look at this on passage from your bible uh... lord operate that you'll help me by the power of the holy spirit to preach it in the way that it should be preached. And I pray for anyone who may be with us who has never received the Lord Jesus as their personal Savior, that you'll draw them to Jesus tonight, help them to come to Him and trust Him. and then i pray that you'll uh... uh... be glorified and that your you'll uh... uplift your people and bless them through the word of god help me please i pray in jesus name Our text passage tonight could very well be the single most serious, most solemn, most sobering, scariest passage found anywhere in the pages of the Bible. It's solemn and sobering just to read it. But what makes it even more so is the fact that if there is anyone here tonight who is unsaved, you've never received the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, and you die in the condition that you're in now without Jesus Christ, then you, my dear friend, will be standing before God at this judgment spoken of right here that we just read about, along with every other poor lost sinner who died without Jesus Christ as Savior. Now, the time when this judgment will take place is at the very end of Christ's 1,000 year millennial kingdom after the final rebellion, after Satan has already been cast into the eternal lake of fire. which we were told of in Revelation chapter 20 and verse 10, immediately preceding our passage tonight. Now, it's vitally important that we understand a couple of things about the matter of judgment and salvation. Number one, no judgment will ever determine a person's salvation. I said no judgment will ever determine a person's salvation. Many people have the erroneous idea that one day there will be a judgment where it will be decided whether they go to heaven or whether they go to hell. This is not the case. Heaven and hell will not be determined at some judgment somewhere out in the future. Heaven and hell is determined in this life based on whether the individual receives Jesus Christ as personal savior or whether they didn't. And those who do are going to heaven, those who don't are going to hell. Jesus said in John chapter 3 in verse 18, he that believeth on him, that is on the Son of God, is not condemned. Now I believe on the Son of God, that means I'm not condemned. If you believed on the Son of God, you're not condemned. But then he went on and said, but he that believeth not is condemned already, not waiting to be condemned at a judgment, but condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. if you have not trusted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, dear friend, the sentence has already been passed, the wages of sin is death, and you're living with the sentence of condemnation already hanging over your head, and the only way that you can have that sentence revoked is to trust Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and you have to do that in this lifetime. So that's the first thing that we need to understand. No judgment will ever determine a person's salvation. Secondly, there are several different judgments which are spoken of in the Bible and we've talked about Well, all of these except the one that we're dealing with tonight. But first, there is what the Bible refers to as the judgment seed of Christ, the Bema. That's a judgment where Christians of this New Testament age will stand before Christ to be judged, hear me, for rewards in heaven on the basis of how they live their Christian life from the time that they got saved until the time that they went to be with the Lord. This judgment will take place in heaven immediately following the first phase of Christ's second coming, the rapture. And then there's the judgment of the living Jews at the conclusion of the tribulation period at the second phase of Christ's second coming, his revelation. The Jews who survive the tribulation period will stand before their Messiah, Jesus Christ. The rebels will be purged out and those who submit to Jesus as their Messiah will enter his 1,000-year millennial kingdom, and that's when all Israel shall be saved, Romans 11, 26. And then there's the judgment of the living Gentiles at the conclusion of the tribulation period at the second phase of Christ's second coming, the Revelation, The Gentiles, the non-Jews who survived the Tribulation period will stand before Christ. Those who had trusted Him and gotten saved during the Tribulation and had demonstrated their salvation by ministering to the persecuted Jewish people will enter Christ's 1,000-year millennial kingdom. Those who had rejected Christ and had not gotten saved during the tribulation and had demonstrated their lack of salvation by not ministering to the persecuted Jewish people will be sent to hell. And then there's the judgment of the angels, that is the fallen angels, the demons. Now we're given practically no information about this judgment in the Bible, but 1 Corinthians chapter six and verse three does indicate that God's New Testament church will have some role to play in it, though we don't know what that role will be. And then, The very final of the judgments is the one that we're talking about this evening, which will occur at the very end of time, just after Christ's millennial kingdom and the final rebellion of Satan and his followers, just before the eternal state is brought into being. This final judgment is often called the Great White Throne Judgment because of what verse 11 says about it. Due to the fact that every unsaved person of all time will stand before God for judgment at this judgment, I refer to it in the words of the title of our study tonight as the final judgment of the unsaved. Now, the prophet Daniel peered through the telescope of prophecy and caught a glimpse of this judgment in the far off future. And this is what Daniel said about it in Daniel chapter seven, verses nine and 10. Daniel chapter 7 verses 9 and 10, Daniel said, 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 his wheels as burning fire. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him. Thousand thousands ministered unto him and 10,000 times 10,000 stood before him. The judgment was set and the books were opened. So Daniel saw this judgment way back in his day. But then you turn to Revelation 20, just to read the words of John's account of this judgment is to be struck with the fearfulness and solemnity and awfulness of it. 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. I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God, and the books were opened. That's what Daniel said, wasn't it? 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. So I want us to notice this evening three things. First, the judge. Second, the judged. third, the judgment. And so, first of all, the judge, verse 11. John said, 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. This verse simply refers to the judge as him that sat on the great white throne. It's very obvious that is talking about God. But I want you to notice specifically which person of the triune Godhead this is that sits on the great white throne of judgment. Now Paul spoke of it in his sermon to the philosophers at Areopagus, Mars Hill, in Athens in Acts chapter 17. Acts chapter 17, and verse 31, Paul said to these philosophers, because he, that is God, 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, and that he hath raised him from the dead, and so then, God will judge, it said, by that man whom he hath ordained, and in case you don't get who that is out of that, he goes on and tells us, well, it's the one that God raised from the dead, the Lord Jesus Christ. Back in the Gospel of John, chapter five, The Lord Jesus is speaking in this passage, John chapter 5. And verse number 22, Jesus said, for the father judges no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the son. And so then the person of the Godhead who will sit on this great white throne of judgment is the Lord Jesus Christ. Now the throne on which he sits for this judgment is described as a great white throne, emphasizing and stressing the absolute undiluted righteousness and holiness of this throne and the one who's sitting thereon. Now, in describing the throne of the Lord seen by God's New Testament church at the rapture, back in Revelation chapter 4 and verse 3, that throne was surrounded by a rainbow. Now, the rainbow, though the queers have co-opted it, attached it to their perversion. The rainbow in the Bible is the symbol of God's faithfulness to keep his promises of mercy instituted when he promised Noah that he wouldn't destroy the world anymore with waters of a flood. God's saints behold his throne as a throne of mercy and grace. That's why it's surrounded by that rainbow. But when we come to the throne of judgment for the unsaved in Revelation chapter 20 and verse 11, the day of mercy and grace is over and done with. Those who stand before Christ now at this judgment are people who have rejected his mercy and his grace and his salvation. Thus they stand before his throne of perfect, unadulterated, undiluted, absolute righteousness and holiness, symbolized by the dazzling, blazing glow of whiteness. A great white throne, he said. Now, as the Lord Jesus sits on this great white throne of judgment, the passage declares that from his face the earth and the heaven fled away and there was found no place for them. And we'll see more about that another time. But an interesting study is to study the face of Jesus. If you do a study of that, you'll see his face as a set face, Luke 9, 51, fulfilling Isaiah 50 in verse 7. You'll see his face as a shamed face, Matthew 26, 67, fulfilling Isaiah 50 in verse 6. You'll see His face as a stricken face, Luke 22, 64. You'll see His face as a shining face, Matthew 17, verse 2, 2 Corinthians 4, verse 6. You'll see His face as a seen face, Revelation 22, 4. But here at this judgment, we see His face as a scorching face. the very earth and heaven flee from his face to be replaced by a new heaven and a new earth. And so then, the judge is the Lord Jesus Christ. Secondly, the judged, verses 12 and 13, and I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God, and the books were opened, Notice that the books, plural, were opened, and another book, singular, was opened, which is the book of life, and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, plural. 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." The judged. Four times in these two verses that we just read, the word dead, is used in telling us who they are, which will be judged at this judgment. Now understand that by this time, the only ones who are still dead are the unsaved, the lost who rejected Christ. All of God's people were already resurrected before this. And remember that all the unsaved are dead at this time. The last of the unsaved having died up in verse nine. Remember when they rebelled and Satan led that final rebellion and the Lord sent fire down and destroyed the crowd that the devil gathered there? That's where the last unsaved people died. Only the unsaved are judged at this judgment. But all the unsaved are judged at this judgment. Verse 12 declares the dead, small and great, are judged. Heads of corporations will stand side by side with beggars and bums. Leaders of industry will stand side by side with hobos. heads of state will stand side by side with homeless people. Small and great. The question naturally arises, where will God's people, the saved people, be while this judgment takes place? Okay, now, listen to me. I believe that the saved, you and me and all the other saved, will be there not to be judged, but to act as witnesses. Look back to Matthew chapter 12. Notice what Jesus said in this passage, Matthew chapter 12, verses 41 and 42. Jesus says to the Pharisees here, The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation. I did tell you I'm in verse 41, did I not? Okay, the men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation and shall condemn it because they repented at the preaching of Jonas and behold, a greater than Jonas is here. The queen of the south, that's the queen of Sheba. shall rise up in the judgment with this generation and she'll condemn it for she came from the other most parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of solomon and behold a greater than solomon is here uh... you see uh... what jesus said here it'll be more tolerable for some that it will be for others at this judgment that we're talking about if you are not so and don't get saved before you die and you die without Christ, you will be judged at this judgment. Let's go on then thirdly. I call your attention to the judgment. We've seen the judge is the Lord Jesus Christ. The judged are all the unsaved of all the ages. Now the judgment. Verse 12, we'll read through the end of the chapter again. 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. Now, four things concerning this judgment of the unsaved. First, the resurrection for this judgment. Notice verse 13, and the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them. the resurrection for this judgment. Now, in previous studies, we saw that there are two resurrections, one for God's people, one for those that are not God's people. Paul referred to it as the resurrection of the dead, both of the just, that's God's people, and the unjust, that's not the Lord's people. The first resurrection, God's people, occurred in three phases, likened to phases of a harvest in Old Testament Israel. The first fruits, 1 Corinthians 15, 20, that's Christ's resurrection. Now is Christ risen and become the first fruits of them that slept? Then the second phase, the main harvest, New Testament church, which will go out at the rapture. And then the third phase is the gleanings, that's the tribulation saints at the end of the tribulation. And if I am correct in the way I understand the Bible, The Old Testament saints will be raised along with the tribulation saints at the conclusion of the tribulation. But here in Revelation chapter 20 verse 13, we have the second resurrection, those who are not God's people. all the lost of all the ages, all those who rejected God and the salvation that he provided through his son, Jesus Christ. It said, the sea gave up the dead which were in it. The sea, all those who died in Noah's flood, uh... all those who died in the red so you want children of israel crossed out all the shipwrecks throughout all the centuries and millennia of man's existence the sea gives up its dead, along with those who were buried in graves, the bodies are raised, and hell gives up the souls to be reunited with the bodies which were raised, and so body and soul stands before the great white throne of Jesus Christ to be judged. Secondly, the records at this judgment. Verse 12 said, the books were opened. Then it says, after another phrase, the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books according to their works. Verse 13 says, they were judged every man according to their works. And so the records of this judgment are kept by God himself. And God is a perfect bookkeeper. He's keeping record of the works of every unsaved person. What's included in these records of works? Well, let me show you four things. Number one, secret things. Ecclesiastes chapter 12. Ecclesiastes chapter 12 and verse 14, for God shall bring every work into judgment with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil. Every secret thing shall be judged. That'd be enough to make me want to get saved right there if I wasn't saved. I mean, you know, everything you've ever thought about, and I'm not talking to Christians, but lost people, every thought you've ever had, everything you've ever done and said that you think's covered up in the sands of time, God's got it written in His book. In the same vein, notice Romans chapter two. Romans chapter two and verse 16. in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. The secret things. And so then, that's included in the records of unsaved people's works. Number two, words. Matthew chapter 12. And verse 36, Jesus said, but I say unto you that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. That'd be a blessing, wouldn't it? Every idle word. have you ever spoken and i were don't don't don't don't so you don't don't love about it and so i know that's an idle word if you do thirdly motives first corinthians chapter four secret things words then motives First Corinthians chapter four, verse five. Therefore judge nothing before the time until the Lord come who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness. There's those secret things again. And will make manifest the counsels of the hearts and then shall every man have praise of God. The counsels of the hearts, that means the purposes, the motives of the heart. And then fourthly, the judgment will be on the basis of opportunities. Matthew chapter 11. Matthew chapter 11, verses 20 through 24. Then began He, Jesus, to upbraid the cities wherein most of His mighty works were done, because they repented not. So Jesus now is gonna preach a bit to the cities where He performed most of His miracles because they wouldn't repent. I mean, here's the Son of God performing miracles in front of them, healing people and all things that He did, but they wouldn't repent. And here's what he said to them, verse 21. Woe unto thee, Corazon! Woe unto thee, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment than for you. And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shall be brought down to hell. For if the mighty works which have been done in thee had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I say unto you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for thee. So Jesus said it was gonna be more tolerable for the Old Testament cities of Tyre and Sidon that he destroyed then the judgment would be for Bethsaida and Chorazin, two of the cities where Jesus did a lot of his miracles. Then he said that it would be more tolerable for Sodom than for Capernaum, which was Jesus' headquarters. Now why is this? Because Tyre and Sidon did not have the opportunity that these cities Bethsaida and Chorazin had. Sodom did not have the opportunity that the city of Capernaum. Jesus was not there in Tyre and Sidon. He wasn't in Sodom to perform miracles. So yes, these cities were destroyed, but their opportunity was less than these cities that Jesus preached in and worked miracles in. So therefore, Jesus said it would be more tolerable at the judgment for these Old Testament cities that were destroyed by God than for these cities that Jesus preached in that still refuse to repent. So these works will be compared to the Bible. Notice John chapter 12. John chapter 12. verse 48, Jesus said, 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. So, he'll take the Bible and compare these works on the record books of unsaved people to what the Bible says. Well, what about people who didn't have a Bible or didn't know about Christ? Well, Romans 2, 12 through 15 points out that everybody, whether they have the Bible or not, has a conscience. There's something inside of man that tells him there's a God. Somebody's greater. The only way to keep people from thinking that way is to send them to the university so that the communist professors can educate it out of them. I'm as serious as I can be. Let me go on thirdly and say a word about the registry at this judgment. Verse 12, after telling us that the books were opened, then goes on and says, and another book was opened, which is the book of life. This is the registry of the names of all who trusted Christ and got saved. My name's in that book. If you're saved, your name's in that book. And so, you see, when we trusted Christ and got saved, our evil works were put under the blood. So we don't stand before God to be judged at this judgment. Our sins were judged at the cross. Fourthly, the results of this judgment, verses 14 and 15. 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. So, death and hell, body and soul, of all these unsaved people who never got saved, never trusted Christ, thus their names were not registered in the book of life. They're cast into the lake of fire into which the devil had been cast up in verse 10, into which the Antichrist and his false prophet had been cast in Revelation 19 and verse 20. Now every unsaved person who has lived throughout all the ages and never trusted Christ and died without him stand in judgment before him. Now he is not the savior calling them to repentance, calling them to rest. Now he's the judge sitting on the great white throne. The songwriter penned it this way. I dreamed that the great judgment morning had dawned and the trumpet had blown. I dreamed that the nations had gathered to judgment before the white throne. From the throne came a bright shining angel and stood on the land and the sea and swore with his hand raised to heaven that time was no longer to be. The rich man was there, but his money had melted and vanished away. A pauper he stood in the judgment, his debts were too heavy to pay. The great man was there, but his greatness, when death came, was left far behind. The angel that opened the records, not a trace of his greatness could find. The widow was there with the orphans. God heard and remembered their cries. No sorrow in heaven forever. God wiped all the tears from their eyes. The gambler was there, and the drunkard, and the man who had sold them the drink. with the people who gave him the license. Together, in hell, they did sink. The moral man came to the judgment, but his self-righteous rags would not do. The men who had crucified Jesus had passed off as moral men, too. The soul that had put off salvation. Not tonight, I'll get saved by and by. No time now to think of religion. but at last they had found time to die. And oh, what a weeping and wailing as the lost were told of their fate. They cried for the rocks and the mountains. They prayed, but their prayer was too late. In that day, it'll be too late to pray, right now for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. If you call upon the Lord understanding that Jesus died for your sins and rose again and is in the business of saving sinners and you come to him as a sinner that needs to be saved and call upon him, ask him for his salvation, he'll save you. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. But I notice In Revelation 20 and verse 15, there's another whosoever. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. By then, the whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, that's in the past. Now it's whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Now my dear friend, if you cannot go back in your mind to a point in your life when you called upon Christ for salvation, trusted him, put your soul in his hands and trusted him as your only hope for heaven, my prayer for you is that you'll come to him tonight and receive him and be saved. So you won't have to stand at this judgment.
