Basic Doctrines: Eternal Judgment
Bible Study by Earl L. HennJudgment, as revealed by God, is not a singular event but a comprehensive process that unfolds over time. God is currently putting Christians through trials and tests to determine their faithfulness to Him and His way of life, indicating that judgment is active even now. Under the authority of Jesus Christ, whom God the Father has appointed as the Judge of all mankind, this process will extend to all humanity, ensuring that every individual stands before the judgment seat of Christ. The resurrected saints will also participate in this judging process, assisting in evaluating those who live throughout the Millennium and even the angels who rebelled under lucifer. This process includes multiple resurrections and judgments tailored to different groups. Those who never had the opportunity to learn God's way will be resurrected to physical life after the Millennium, living in a peaceful world for a hundred years to learn and accept His way. During this period, known as the Great White Throne Judgment, they will be judged by the same standard as others—God's Word. Additionally, a third resurrection will address the incorrigibly wicked, who, having rejected God's offer of salvation, will face final judgment and be cast into the Lake of Fire, never to be resurrected again. Through this extended process, God's perfect fairness ensures that judgment is thorough and just, reflecting His true knowledge, understanding, and wisdom.
