kpsi: Coming Judgments

I believe there is going to be at least 5 judgments, perhaps more.

1) Bema Judgment of Believers - already discussed.

2) Judgment of the nation Israel, because 'they are not all Israel which are of Israel' (Rom 9.6). Ez 20-34-38, Matt 25.1-30. God will separate the saved from the unsaved, with the saved being allowed to enter the Millennial Kingdom on earth. It would seem to occur at the Second Advent, after rthe battle of Armageddon.

3) Judgment of the Nations (Gentiles). Joel 3.1-2, Matt 25.31-46. It appears that this is a judgment of living individuals of the nations, not the dead, and the purpose is to declare their spiritual condition - saved or unsaved. Again, the saved will enter the Millennial Kingdom. This appears to happen after the judgment of Israel.

4) Judgment of Angels - II Pet 2.4, Rev 20.10. This judgment may occur right before the Great White Throne since it would be logical to assume that the fallen angels would take part in the last rebellion by Satan (Rev 20.7-9). It appears that we believers will take part in this (I Cor 6.3 - 'Know ye not that we shall judge angels?')

5) Great White Throne Judgment - Rev 20.11-15. The final judgment and sentencing of the unsaved to the lake of fire.

In His Name,
