(10/10/2018) Judgment Will Occur Forever


The picture depicts the conclusion of the present ongoing judgment that many call the Rapture



Today, reply is on whether divine judgment will be completed on the earth or in heaven. In the same way the holy writings teach there is a first death that may be followed by the second death and there are the first and second resurrections, the Scriptures also teach there are multiple judgment events that occur in heaven as well as on the earth. The fighter in the “Yahoo! Answers” Religion and Spirituality public forum using the ID “Stonehaven” (Level 1 with 5 points, a member since March 21, 2018) posted the following:



The Last Judgement will take place on earth or in heaven?
Matthew 25:31-33
31 ‘When the SON OF MAN comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, 33 and he will put the sheep at his right hand and the goats at the left.

The above Scripture refers to the SON OF MAN, which means that Jesus Christ is fully HUMAN and fully divine when he returns to Judge the Living and the Dead, and to be Judge of all the Nations.

However, these verses are in reference to the Last Judgement, which implies that this Judgement will take place on the earth, but contrary to the traditional view that it should take place in heaven: Revelation 20:11.

This seems like a contradiction, but how do we resolve the apparent dilemma?

Any suggestions?



THE GOLDEN ARROW: For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every mans 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 mans work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any mans work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. (1st Corinthians 3: 11-17, King James Version, KJV)



THE DOUBLE DAGGER: Incurring “The Second Death” (04/02/2018); “I Never Knew You” (03/23/2018); Mankinds Priesthood in Heaven (02/16/2018); Events During Final Judgment? (11/28/2016); The Earth Made New (11/13/2013); Hierarchy (11/14/2013); The Place for Eternal Life? (01/06/2013); Therefore There Was Trust (01/07/2013)



Stonehaven”, relying on the Bible, many mature Christian believers increasingly understand judgment as an aspect of the existence, ongoing divine process, eternal purpose, and full sacred substance of GOD along with such elements as faith, holiness, longsuffering and lovingkindness. In the same way the personhood of GOD would be incomplete without immortality, immutability, incorruption, and wisdom, judgment will exist and appear as an eternal expression of complete divine order, sacred prerogative, righteousness, and sovereign will. Consider again the following:

(1.) At this time, the sacred process of judgment is being carried out to determine those who will meet the Lord in the air at his appearing (we say, the first resurrection; the harvest; the Rapture; the Second Coming), and those who thereafter will continue as his immortal life companions. In addition to identifying from the books of life those whose sins are covered by the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, the sacred process also is being carried out whereby reconciliation to, refreshment for, and the refinement of multiple provisions within divine law are being established.

(2.) The Great White Throne judgment is the divine tribunal provided to hear the cases of the wicked. The second resurrection must occur to allow those under review to be present and alive in the celestial court, and to speak in response to the necessary sacred exchange. Satan will not appear as the Accuser or Prosecutor (he will already have been cast into the Lake of Fire); nor will Jesus Christ. Cases will be heard on the details from the record of ones own deeds, opportunities, praise, prayer, and privilege.

(3.) The judgment for rewards that will be distributed to the faithful will occur in heaven along with the allotment of property within the New Jerusalem. Included may be selection to learn and perform the sacred liturgy (a new song); positions as captains over fifties, captains over hundreds, captains over thousands; and the privilege to serve as assistants to Jesus, the High Priest. When the Holy City descends to the earth an entirely new set of divine records will have been added.

There is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually apprehended. (For example, (4.) On the earth made new, mortality will no longer exist as the human condition, and there will be no temple, yet, divine law will continue as eternal. Capital punishment and imposing a “death sentence” will not be practiced; and there will be no judgment to punish sin. There will continue to be standards for assessments, assigning value, and making sound decisions.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
