The Daily Word of Righteousness
The "White Throne" Judgment, #5
And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. (Genesis 7:1)
And we are teaching that there never has been a righteous individual on the earth? Do we believe the Scriptures?
Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked. (Exodus 23:7)
Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his! (Numbers 23:10)
If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked. (Deuteronomy 25:1)
The last passage reveals what will take place at the white-throne judgment of Christ. The righteous will be justified and given to drink of the waters of eternal life. The wicked will be led away into the fires of torment.
This is what will occur at the judgment of the nations, of Matthew, Chapter 25. The nations will not be judged on the basis of having made a profession of the lordship of Christ but on visiting Christ's brothers in prison, nourishing them when they are sick, feeding the Lord's witnesses—doing righteous works of this kind.
The righteous (sheep) nations will be brought into eternal life after they have stood before Christ, indicating they were not people who had been "saved" (as we employ the term) at some previous time.
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into eternal life [into the Kingdom of God]. (Matthew 25:46)
When the Lord Jesus appears, it is the royal priesthood who will be raised. God's holy priests already are filled with eternal life and have the keys of the Kingdom of God.
At the end of the thousand-year Kingdom Age the remainder of the dead will be raised and stand before Christ. Among these will be many wicked and many righteous. The wicked will "go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal."
By wicked is meant those who practice wicked works.
By righteous is meant those who practice righteous works.
Notice also:
And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. (John 5:29)
Who will render to every man according to his deeds: (Romans 2:6)
It is not true that all the saved will be raised when the Lord comes, and all the lost at the end of the thousand-year Kingdom Age.
The royal priesthood, the firstfruits of the Bride of the Lamb, having been purified until they are without spot or wrinkle, will be raised when the Lord appears. The remainder of mankind will be raised and judged equitably at the end of the thousand years. The righteous will enter eternal life. The wicked will go into punishment whether or not they have professed to be Christians.
Whatever any man sows he will reap.
The trumpet is sounding in Zion!
To be continued.
