EIGHT JUDGMENTS OF GOD - NYOBS 84.02

EIGHT JUDGMENTS OF GOD

There have already been judgments that have taken place and more to come.

First Word

·         Does God’s judgment happen only after we die, or does it take place before we die?  The answer to both thoughts is YES.  The Book says if we sin, we can be sure JUDGMENT will fall and our sins will find us out and there will be CONSEQUENCES for our SINS… It kind of like this, you get caught in a rain storm of sin, you ask forgiveness and immediately God gives you an UMBRELLA to get out of the rain, and although your sins are forgiven and you are out of the storm, YOU ARE STILL WET and only TIME dealing with the CONSEQUENCES will dry you off. – In Heaven Forgiveness and consequences are the same; you are forgiven and there are no consequences.– On earth, forgiveness and consequences are just two different things, however with God’s grace, consequences may not be felt full strength.

·         I was sitting in Sunday School class when someone shared that God has forgiven our sins to remember them no more, He has removed our sins as far as the East is from the West; our sins are infinitely removed. - Someone else said, WHAT ABOUT ON JUDGMENT DAY, God said we would be judged for every idle word spoken. – Both are right, but they are addressing two different audiences; the Believer and the Make-believer or Non-believer.

·         SUNDAY SCHOOL is such a wonderful addition to the church service, because it’s a place where you feel free to “Stir the Pot” with your thoughts and see others search out the scriptures and dig it out. – The Bereans were commended for checking out everything the preacher said, to see if it was TRUE.

·         Stirring the Pot is where you learn; it forces you to read the Book for yourself.  With all that said and to just to get your pants all in a wad right off the bat, I am going to move you from your preconceived truth of ONE or maybe TWO judgments to EIGHT, and you are going to say NO WAY… but I invite you take a FUN stroll through the Book with me.

Acts 17:11 – Search the scripture daily to see if it is TRUE
¹¹ And THE PEOPLE OF BEREA were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, and THEY LISTENED EAGERLY to Paul’s message. They SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES day after day

to see if Paul and Silas were TEACHING THE TRUTH.

(NLT)

Numbers 32:23 –You can be sure your sins will find you out
²³ But if you fail to keep your word, then you will have sinned against the LORD, and you may be sure that

YOUR SIN WILL FIND YOU OUT. (NLT)

Hebrews 9:27 – As soon as you die you are judged
²⁷And just as each person is destined to die once and

AFTER THAT COMES JUDGMENT. (NLT)

Psalm 103:12 – Our sins have been infinitely removed from us
¹² He has removed our SINS as far from us as the

EAST IS FROM THE WEST. (NLT)

Matthew 12:36 – You must give account for every idle word
³⁶ And I tell you this, you must give an ACCOUNT on JUDGMENT DAY for EVERY IDLE WORD YOU SPEAK. (NLT)

Judgment Zero

·          Before I begin I feel I must tell you about a JUDGEMENT that occurred in the First Earth Age; the one we are now in being the Second Earth Age. – Every Pastor knows about it, but most cannot teach it because of Denominational constraints, but I am glad to see in the last 30 years more and more TV Pastor are teaching it.  (See John Hagee Ministries.)

·         This Judgment is found in the Book between Genesis 1 verse 1, and Genesis 1 verse 2. – It’s called the Gap Theory; Satan’s or Lucifer’s flood. – The Book says that the Earth “hayah” (was) BECAME without form and Void. - All other 67 translations of the Hebrew word “hayah” was translated “became” and not “was. - Every single time DARKNESS is mentioned in the Book, it’s a sign of JUDGMENT.    

·         Satan had corrupted the first earth age so badly that God destroyed it ALL and left it that way for eons of time. - I won’t teach it here because it’s a Word study all into its own self; I hope you will find the time to search it out and read it for yourself. NYOBS 17.16 – THE OTHER FLOOD; GAP THEORY

·         It must be noted that the EVIL people that Satan corrupted in the first earth age were created immortal, and although they lost their bodies in Lucifer’s flood, they are still around and are called demons that work to serve Satan today.  There are many kinds of demon spirits; blind, deaf and dumb, familiar, foul, jealous, lying, seducing, unclean and the big one, the Demon spirit of infirmity.  – NYOBS 11.16 – DEMONS

·         In this JUDGMENT nothing remained but the demons. - Satan was given eons of time to create something, to start over, and as all creation was watching, HE COULD NOT.  Then God creates again and we read about it in Genesis 1:2 as God starts over. – It’s in the Book

Genesis 1:1 – The First Earth Age

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Genesis 1:2 – The earth became without form and void

2 And the earth WAS (“hayah” BECAME) without form, and void; and DARKNESS was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

2 Peter 3:5-6 – The world that WAS then overflowed with water

5 … the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

6 Whereby THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS, being overflowed

with water, PERISHED:

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 – They masquerade as angles of light

13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ.

14 And no wonder, for Satan himself

masquerades as an angel of light.

15 It is not surprising, then, if

HIS SERVANTS MASQUERADE AS SERVANTS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

NIV

James 2:19 – Even the demons believe in God

19 You believe that there is one God. Good!

EVEN THE DEMONS BELIEVE that-and shudder. NIV

Matthew 12:22 – Blind demon spirit

22 Then one was brought to Him who was

DEMON-POSSESSED, BLIND and mute; and He healed him,

so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw. NKJV

Mark 9:25 – Deaf and Dumb demon spirit

25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "DEAF AND DUMB SPIRIT, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!" NKJV

Leviticus 20:27 – Familiar demon spirit

27 A man or a woman who is a medium, or who has

FAMILIAR SPIRITS, shall surely be put to death; they shall stone them with stones. Their blood shall be upon them.' NKJV

Mark 9:25 – Foul demon spirit

25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the FOUL SPIRIT, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.

Numbers 5:14 – Jealous demon spirit

14 And the SPIRIT OF JEALOUSY come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled: KJV

1 Kings 22:22 – Lying demon spirit

22 And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be A LYING SPIRIT in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shall persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so KJV

1 Timothy 4:1 – Seducing demon spirit

1 Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to SEDUCING SPIRITS, and doctrines of devils; KJV

Matthew 12:43 – Unclean demon spirit

43 When the UNCLEAN SPIRIT is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. KJV

Luke 13:11 – Demon spirit of Infirmity

11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a

SPIRIT OF INFIRMITY eighteen years, and was

bowed together, and could not lift herself up KJV

Judgment # 1

·         In the beginning of the Second Earth Age, God created for the second time, the heavens and the earth and then He stepped back and JUDGED his handiwork and said it was GOOD. Then He made MAN and judged him and said he was VERY GOOD.

·          In the very beginning, Man was JUDGED good, but that was before he met a cute blond haired girl named Evie who was five foot two with eyes of blue and they ate a bad apple pie. NYOBS 80.08 - EVE TEMPTED HUMBLED REDEEMED – This is an awesome story and I hope you get to read it.

·          Don’t take the Judgments of God lightly; we should not take SIN lightly, God sure does not, the proof is the cost of His only Son’s life that paid for our sins. – It’s in the Book -

Genesis 1:31 – God judged His creations; they were very good
³¹ Then God looked over all he had made, and

he saw that it was VERY GOOD! And evening passed and morning came, marking the sixth day. (NLT)

Genesis 3:12- The Woman gave me the fruit and I ate it
¹² The man replied, “It was THE WOMAN you gave me who

gave me the fruit, and I ATE IT.” (NLT)

Judgment #2

• This Judgment occurred during the time of Noah and dealt with Angels who left their assignments and came down to earth. These “Fallen” Devine beings are identified as “Sons of God” or Nephilim. - They existed before the flood of Noah and also existed after the flood. - According to the Book the Nephilim came down from the heavens at least twice.   
• When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them”, some angels left their own habitations, their places of assignment and they took “whoever they chose” to be their wives in marriage and had sexual relations that resulted in producing a hybrid of GIANT people called THE NEPHILIM. -  NYOBS 17.10 - NOAH’S ARK –
• This is a special passage when you realize that daughters of men had always been born to them, but it seems at some point a desire was awakened in these Angels. – There is no marriage in heaven as Devine beings are immortal and therefore there is no need to propagate; to replenish or repopulate as mortals do on earth.
• Nephilim; Wikipedia; the majority of ancient biblical versions, including the Septuagint, Theodotion, Latin Vulgate and Samaritan Targum, interpret the word to mean "GIANTS". - Symmachus translates it as "the violent ones" and Aquila's translation has been interpreted to mean either "the fallen ones" or "the ones falling [upon their enemies]."
• Giants terrorized the Israelites from the time they entered into Canaan until the time of David. - The fearsome race of Rephaims; the Emims, Zamzummims, Anakites, Sabeans, and some Philistines were of great physical statue, large framed and abnormally powerful.
• There was a population explosion. - Man’s inclination was on evil, crime and immorality. - I know this is “far reaching”, but The Apocrypha describes the Nephilim as being EVIL GIANTS; the Book of Jubilees 7:21–25 states that ridding the Earth of these Nephilim was one of main reasons for God's JUDGMENT in flooding the Earth during Noah's time.
• Noah was obedient to His instructions and for 120 years of grace became a preacher of righteous and found favor in the eyes of God. - He faithfully preached the message of REPENTANCE, “the world is coming to an end”, but nobody listened, then it started to rain, BUT the door remained open for some seven days for any that would come and then GOD SHUT THE DOOR. It rained so long that the tallest mountain was under water some 20 feet.

• The Line of Descendants – Beginning with Adam, was Seth, then Enosh, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech and finally Noah who “walked with God”. - Methuselah, Noah’s grandfather probably died just before the flood at the age of 969.
• Noah’s name means; rest, relief, and comfort, he was 480 years old when God told him to build the Ark – He lived 350 years after the flood and died at the age of 950. – He was the second great progenitor of the human race, with Adam being the first – Noah was uniquely righteous – He believed God and obeyed according to all that God commanded Him.
• Noah had three sons born about a year apart.

1. Shem was born when Noah was 502 – Shem would produce the Godly line of Abraham.
2. Japheth is listed as the middle son, who we believe was born when Noah was 503.
3. Ham his youngest son was born when Noah was 504, about 24 years after Noah started the building project. – Hams descendants would be “Egypt” who would enslave the Israelites.

• Four wives were also included on the Ark for a total of 8 living souls that would be saved on the ark. - It is believed that Noah’s three sons had taken wives from other nations.

a)   Shem is the progenitor of the “Semitic” peoples of the East. (White)

b)   Japheth’s descendants are the inhabitants of Asia Minor and the sea people. (Yellow)

c)   Ham’s descendants became the Egyptians, Canaanites and Africans. (Black)

• When the second earth age came under JUDGMENT only eight lives were saved; none were saved in the first earth age.

Gen 6:1-2 – Angel took mortal women to wife.

1 When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them,

2 the SONS OF GOD saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose.

 NIV

Gen 6:4 – Their offspring’s were giants

4 The NEPHILIM were on the earth in those days--and also afterward--when the SONS OF GOD went to the daughters

of men and had children by them. NIV

Gen 6:4- There giants on the earth

4 There were GIANTS on the earth in those days,

NKJV

Gen 6:5-7 – God is grieved - His patience wears thin

5 The LORD saw how great MAN'S WICKEDNESS on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was ONLY EVIL ALL THE TIME.

6 The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain.

7 So the LORD said, "I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth--men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air--for I am grieved that I have made them."

Gen 6:8-9 – Noah found favor

8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.

9 Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God. NIV

2 Peter 2:5 – Noah Preached

5 if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah,

A PREACHER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, and seven others; NIV

1 Peter 3:20 – God waited patiently for 120 years

20 God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. NIV

Gen 6:12 – Everyone was corrupt except Noah

12 God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth HAD CORRUPTED THEIR WAYS. NIV

Gen 6:9-10 – Noah had three sons

9 This is the account of Noah. - Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God.

10 Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth NIV

Gen 6:18 – Bring your wife, yours sons and their wives

18 But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark--YOU and YOUR SONS and YOUR WIFE and

YOUR SONS' WIVES with you.

Gen 7:7 – Just eight people in the Ark

7 And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood.

NIV

Jude 6 – Some angels left their own habitation.

6 And the ANGELS which kept not their first estate, but

LEFT THEIR OWN HABITATION, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

KJV

Job 1:6 – Satan and the sons of God present themselves

6 Now there was a day when the SONS OF GOD came to present themselves before the LORD, and SATAN came also among them.

KJV

Mark 12:25 – No marriage in Heaven

25 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven NIV

Side Bar

• The sons of Adam, the Sethites and the Cainites were going in two opposite directions keeping diversely apart physically and also in moral and character distinctions.
• Some students hold that the Godly line of Seth were actually “the sons of God” and were said to have disobeyed God, by “coming down” from the mountains and breeding with the wicked Cainites thereby producing giants; they conclude that they were not any fallen angels at all; only disobedient men.
• Some students of the Bible think that the “bad report” of Giants that was brought back by the Israelite spies was actually a “False Report” and that they had not actually seen any Giants at all, but were just afraid. – Although I do not embrace this position, I felt I should note it anyway.

Numbers 13:31-33 – Spies - After the flood of Noah - Giants

31 "We can't attack those people; they are stronger than we are."

32 And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, "The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size.

33 We saw the NEPHILIM there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them." NIV

Judgment #3

• This Judgment deals with man’s sins and with Christ on the Cross who became Sin for us. – The Book says that everyone who hangs on a tree is cursed.  Jesus was JUDGED as a blasphemous sinner and was crucified on the Cross; the sinless Jesus took our sins.

·         God cannot look on sin and for a period of time, probably for some three hours, God turned His back as the sins of the whole world were heaped on the body of His ONLY begotten Son

·         Many downplay the bitter truth that Jesus was forsaken by God. – All of His Disciples had already abandoned Him and He was totally ALONE. – There was no place for Him to turn for human refuge, nor Divine refuge. - IT WAS GOD’S WILL TO CRUSH JESUS.

·         Why did God forsake Jesus? -  The next verse tells us… because God is HOLY and in those last three hours, God could not look on the boatload after boatload of sin that was being dumped on His ONLY Son, BUT He was still there.  – SELAH - (With tears in my eyes, I just cannot adequately describe or fandom all of this; His burden was so over whelming, that He sweat GREAT drops of blood.)

• CHRIST WAS JUDGED for man’s sins AND DECLARED GUILTY; He suffered, died and was forsaken on the cross so that we would not be. - NYOBS 62.24 – DID GOD FORSAKE JESUS

Gal 3:13- His death on the cross redeemed us from the curse

13 Christ REDEEMED US from THE CURSE

of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written:

"CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO IS HUNG ON A TREE."

NIV

Isa 53:6 – All our Sins were laid on Him

6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has

LAID ON HIM THE INIQUITY OF US ALL.

NIV

John 16:32 – Disciples will be scattered – He was left alone
³² Behold, the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when

YOU WILL BE SCATTERED, each to his own home, and will

LEAVE ME ALONE. Yet I am not alone, for

the Father is with me.

(ESV)

Mark 15:34 - My God, my God, why have you forsaken me
³⁴ And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means,

“MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?”

(ESV)

My God, My God why have you forsaken Me?

JESUS WAS FORSAKEN SO THAT WE WOULD NOT BE.

Isaiah 53:10 - It was the LORD’s WILL to crush him
¹⁰ Yet it was the LORD’s will to CRUSH HIM and cause him to suffer, and though the LORD makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.

(NIV2011)

Habakkuk 1:13 - Your eyes are too pure to look upon evil
¹³ Your eyes are TOO PURE TO LOOK ON EVIL; you cannot tolerate wrongdoing. Why then do you tolerate the treacherous? Why are you silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves?

(NIV2011)

Isaiah 53:10 - It pleased the LORD to crush Jesus
¹⁰ Yet it PLEASED the LORD to BRUISE Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make HIS SOUL AN OFFERING FOR SIN, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand.

(NKJV)

John 19:30 – The plan of Salvation is finished
³⁰ When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said,

“IT IS FINISHED,” and HE bowed his head and

gave up his spirit

(NKJV)

Judgment #4

·         This Judgment occurs at the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross. – In Jewish theology, the “Blessed Souls” awaited in a compartment of Hell referred to as Paradise or Abraham’s Bosom.  - Apocalyptic writings indicate that Paradise was located on the edge of Hell; not exactly in and not exactly out.  -  It was the abode of people, who had died in the FRIENDSHIP of God, but had to wait for the birth, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, the Son of God to “open heaven's gates”.

·         Speaking of Hell; at this writing the volcano in Hawaii has been pouring our lava for almost three months, with no sign that the eruption is waning.  This should give you an idea of the enormity of HELL. - Hell is a sphere in the center of the earth, therefore it is bottomless. I have no scripture, but a bottomless hell is just something fun to ponder. - NYOBS 56.27 - PARADISE & HELL

·         In Biblical times, people would recline as they ate. – The one reclining near the head guy was referred to as reclining “In His Bosom”; a place of honor.

·         Before the time of Christ’s ministry, Hell was divided into two compartments separated by a large gulf. – Those who worshipped Jehovah God and had died in His friendship were in a compartment of Hell known as “Abrahams Bosom” or “Paradise”.  This was where the “Righteous Good” went after death.  – There they “tarried” till the resurrection.

• Time is somewhat of an abstract for the dead, and only exists for the living; and is only a pin point of existence in time, somewhere between eternity past and eternity future.  
• During this time of “tarring” in Paradise, the people were awake having emotions, feelings, and dialog. - Note: Not one of them had ever heard of Jesus Christ; the Son of God.
• At Christ’s death on the Cross, He went to Abraham’s Bosom also known as Paradise and for three days preached the “Good News Message” that He was the Way, The Truth and the Life; He was the ONLY WAY to God the Father.  Those in the friendship of God that had died over the past 4,000 years ACCEPTED Him.  –  NYOBS 68.29 – THE THREE DAYS

·         If you remember the story of the Rich man and the beggar Lazarus; at their death, the Rich man went to Hell and Lazarus the Beggar went to Hell also, but to a compartment known as Abraham’s bosom or Paradise.  – This was not a parable, as a specific person is never named in a parable, this was an actually true story.

·         I want to say it another way, at their death THEY HAD ALREADY BEEN JUDGED, sent to the holding tank of Hell and the two were separated with a gulf between them that no man could cross over.

·          Jesus appeared to Mary BEFORE He ascended to Heaven collaborating that Paradise was still on earth and had not yet been taken to heaven.

• When Jesus ascended, He took “Paradise” and everybody in it up to heaven, where it is now. There is no longer a “tarring” place on this earth.

·         Side Note: With Paradise removed, Hell has now been enlarged to receive all the new folks for the last 2000 years who have rejected the Truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  - Did you see it, WE ARE JUDGED AT DEATH. – The decisions we make on this side of life have eternal consequences. – You can’t be prayed out, nor penitence paid; it’s all over.  BAM

• Today, we that love the Lord do not go to the lower parts of the earth when we die, but go immediately to Heaven and are active with Jesus Christ. – Paradise in now in Heaven. - SELAH

Luke 16:22 – Poor man judged and is in Abraham’s Bosom
²² So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to ABRAHAM'S BOSOM. The rich man also died and was buried. NKJV

Luke 16:23 – Rich man judged and is in Hell
²³ And BEING IN TORMENTS IN HADES, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (NKJV)

Luke 16:26 – There is a great chasm and no one can cross over
²⁶ And besides, THERE IS A GREAT CHASM SEPARATING US. No one can cross over to you from here, and no one can cross over to us from there.’ (NLT)

Luke 23:42-43 – The Thief on the Cross went to Paradise
⁴² Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.”
⁴³ And Jesus replied, “I assure you,

TODAY you will be with me in PARADISE.” (NLT)

Matthew 12:40 – Three days in Hell

40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights

in the belly of a huge fish, so THE SON OF MAN will be

THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS in the heart of the earth.

Ephesians 4:8-10 – Descended first to hell & led out the captive

8 This is why it says: "When he ascended on high, he led captives in his train and gave gifts to men." 

9 What does "HE ASCENDED" mean except that he also DESCENDED to the lower, earthly regions?

10 He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe. NIV

1 Peter 3:18-19 – He preached in Hell – In Abraham’s Bosom

18 For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit,

19 through whom also he went and

PREACHED TO THE SPIRITS IN PRISON

John 14:6- No once comes to the father except through Jesus
⁶ Jesus told him, “I AM the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE.

NO ONE can come to the father EXCEPT THROUGH ME. (NLT)

John 8:32 – The truth set the captives free

32 Then you will know THE TRUTH, and the truth will set you free."

John 20:11-17 – I have not yet ascended to the Father

11 Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept

15 "Woman," he said, "why are you crying? Who are you looking for?"

16 Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, "Rabboni!" (Which means Teacher).

17 Jesus said, "Do not hold on to me,

for I have NOT YET RETURNED to the Father.” NIV

Ephesians 4:8 – He took all those in Abrahams Bosom to Heaven

8 Wherefore he saith, WHEN HE ASCENDED up on high,

HE LED CAPTIVITY CAPTIVE, and gave gifts unto men. (Holy Spirit day of Pentecost) KJV

2 Corinthians 5:8 – Absent from the body – Present with God

8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather

TO BE ABSENT FROM THE BODY IS

TO BE PRESENT WITH THE LORD. NKJV

John 11:26 – The Believer will never die

26 and WHOEVER lives and

BELIEVES IN ME WILL NEVER DIE. Do you believe this? NIV

Judgment #5

• The Judgment Seat of Christ (“Bema Seat”) occurs at the return of Jesus Christ just after the first stage of Armageddon and just before the Millennium reign begins – This judgment starts with the family of God, it’s for BELIEVERS ONLY and should not to be confused with The Great White Thrown Judgment that is for UNBELIVERS and MAKE BELIEVERS which comes along later.  NYOBS 22.02 - ARMAGEDDON
• Jesus Christ is the Judge who has already paid the price at the cross for their redemption. Their sins have already been forgiven; not temporarily covered over by animal sacrifices, but permanently. -  Jesus made the Final Sacrifice on the Cross for ALL that would believe – Their Sins are gone.
• This Judgment takes place in heaven since all are considered sinless. - No one loses their life at this judgment as ALL are saved. - Sinners are now called Saints because they have confessed “Jesus as Lord.” NYOBS 07.02 - ESCHATOLOGY – THE LAST THINGS TO HAPPEN ON EARTH
• This is where ALL Believers will appear and receive what is due them for things done while they were alive. - This is where the motives and the consistency of faithfulness of the believer’s actions are exposed. - There are various rewards for the saved, their WORKS are declared to be either wood, hay and stubble; or gold, silver and precious stones.
• Although their works will determine their rewards, WORKS DO NOT SAVE a man nor get him to heaven.  Various Crowns are also given to everyone.  Some will get more than one crown and then after we receive our crowns, we will sit at the wedding feast as the bride of Christ.  The more crowns we have earned, the more we have to throw at the feet of Jesus. 
• I count at least FIVE CROWNS that are available.

1)   Imperishable Crown – Those who have victory over their old spirit man.

2)   Crown of Righteousness – For those who are longing for His appearance.

3)   Crown of Life – Those that are tested even unto death – The Martyr’s Crown.

4)   Crown of Glory – Overseers or Elders Crown - Those who serve the flock.

5)   Crown of Rejoicing – Soul winners crown. -  NYOBS 07.083 - CROWNS

• NOTE – The Believer and the Non-believer both deserve HELL. – But one is FORGIVEN; the believer does not stand before The Great White Throne Judgment, this is reserved solely for the Non-believers and the Make Believers. - NYOBS 07.185 - ESCHATOLOGY

1 Peter 4:17-18 – Judgment begins with the Family of God

17 For it is time for

JUDGMENT TO BEGIN WITH THE FAMILY OF GOD; and if

it BEGINS WITH US, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?

18 And, "If it is hard for the righteous to be saved,

what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?" 

NIV

1 John 2:2 - Jesus is The Atoning Sacrifice for our sins

2 HE (JESUS) IS THE ATONING SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS NIV

Ephesians 2:8-9- We are saved by His GRACE not our works

8 For BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the GIFT of God:

9 NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should boast. KJV

2 Corinthians 5:10 - All must appear and receive what is due him

10 For we must all appear before the JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST, that each one may RECEIVE WHAT IS DUE HIM for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. NIV

Revelation 22:12 - Rewards

12 "Behold, I am coming soon! My REWARD is with me, and

I will give to everyone according to what he has done NIV

1 Corinthians 3:11-15 – His reward will be what he has built

11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.

12 If any man builds on this foundation using

gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw,

Judgment #6

• This Judgment is of the JEWISH NATION and occurs during the TRIBULATION period after the Church has already been raptured and the Holy Spirit is removed.
• The location will be in Israel and God is the Judge. - They will be judged on the rejection of the PROPHET’S WORDS, the Jew’s acceptance or rejection of the Trinity; God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. – The Prophet Zephaniah describes the judgment and wrath in last 3 ½ years of the Great Tribulation, with troubling words like; wrath, distress, anguish, trouble, darkness, gloom and blackness – They build houses, but not live in them. – They plant vineyards, but not drink the wine.

• God seals His servants, the 144,000 Israelite JEWS to protect them from the wrath that is starting to be unloaded. - This mark is the seal of the living God signifying His ownership and guaranteed protection.  It is literally on their foreheads just as the mark of the beast (antichrist) is literal on the forehead or arm of the lost. - NYOBS 35.16 – 144,000 THE MARK
• These special 144,000 Jews were not true believers before the Rapture, but the rapture witnessed to them as well as the preaching of the TWO WITNESSES as ordained by God. NOTE: All of Revelation is not written in chronically order as this sealing occurs before the tribulation gets underway.  The 144,000 SEALED JEWS and their CONVERTS will be the only ones saved, ALL others will stand condemned. -- NYOBS 66.30 - 144.000 REVISITED
• Some say the 12 tribes are now lost, but they are not lost to God.  These Jews will be saved after the rapture, just as the tribulation period begins and God already knows who they are. - By Devine plan they are already scattered throughout the Nations where they will testify of Jesus Christ. - Good News, when we become believers, WE ALSO ARE MARKED with the seal of God forever. - NOTE: The Gentile Nations are next to be judged.
• Today there are some cults, dominations and groups that claim they are the 144,000.
• Mormons claim that they ONLY are the 144,000 who will inherit eternal life and the remainder of their denomination will just live in Paradise. – NYOBS 07.041 – MORMONS
• Jehovah Witnesses feel that they are the 144,000.  However, scripture says there will NOT be one Gentile in the whole bunch.  NOT ONE ! – NYOBS 74.15 – JEHOVAH WITNESS CULT

Jeremiah 30:4-7 – It will be a time of trouble for Israel

4 These are the words the LORD spoke concerning

ISRAEL AND JUDAH:

5 "This is what the LORD says: "`Cries of fear are heard-- terror, not peace.

6 Ask and see: Can a man bear children? Then why do I see every strong man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor, every face turned deathly pale?

7 HOW AWFUL THAT DAY WILL BE! None will be like it. It will be a time of trouble for Jacob, but he will be saved out of it. NIV

Rev 16:1-21 Jewish Nation cursed God and refused to repent

1 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, "Go, pour out the seven bowls of God's wrath on the earth."

2 The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and

UGLY AND PAINFUL SORES broke out on the people

who had the MARK OF THE BEAST and worshiped his image.

6… for they have shed the blood of your saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink as they deserve."

7 And I heard the altar respond: "Yes, Lord God Almighty, true and just are your judgments."

9 They were seared by the intense heat and

THEY CURSED THE NAME OF GOD, who had control over these plagues, but they REFUSED TO REPENT and glorify him.

10 … Men gnawed their tongues in agony

11 and CURSED the GOD of heaven because of their pains and their sores, but they REFUSED TO REPENT of what they had done. .

19 THE GREAT CITY (Jerusalem) split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed.  …

20 Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found.

21 From the sky huge hailstones of about a hundred pounds each fell upon men. And they CURSED GOD on account of the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible.

NIV

Zephaniah 1:12-18 - Wrath distress anguish trouble darkness,

12 At that time I will search JERUSALEM with lamps

and punish those who are complacent, who are like wine left on its dregs, who think, `The LORD will do nothing, either good or bad.'

13 Their wealth will be plundered, their houses demolished. They will build houses but not live in them; they will plant vineyards but not drink the wine.

14 "THE GREAT DAY OF THE LORD is near - near and coming quickly. Listen! The cry on the day of the LORD will be bitter, the shouting of the warrior there.

15 That day will be a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness,

16 a day of trumpet and battle cry against the fortified cities and against the corner towers.

17 I will bring distress on the people and they will walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD. Their blood will be poured out like dust and their entrails like filth.

18 Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them on the day of the LORD's wrath. In the fire of his jealousy the whole world will be consumed, for he will make a sudden end of all who live in the earth." NIV

Rev 14:1 – God’s Mark of ownership

1 Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his FATHER'S NAME WRITTEN ON THEIR FOREHEADS NIV

Rev 13:16-17 – Satan’s Mark of ownership

16 He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to RECEIVE A MARK on his right hand or on his forehead,

17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the NAME OF THE BEAST or the number of his name. NIV

Ephesians 1:13 – All Believers are MARKED with the seal of God

13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed,

YOU WERE MARKED IN HIM WITH A SEAL,

the promised HOLY SPIRIT. NIV

Ephesians 4:30 – We are sealed for the Day of Redemption

30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were SEALED FOR THE DAY OF REDEMPTION.

NIV

2 Corinthians 1:21-22 – God has set His seal of ownership on us

21 Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us,

22 SET HIS SEAL OF OWNERSHIP ON US, and

put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit,

guaranteeing what is to come NIV

2 Corinthians 5:5 -The Holy Spirit is a Deposit; a guarantee

5 Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose and has

given us the Spirit AS A DEPOSIT, guaranteeing what is to come.

NIV

John 6:27 – God has placed His seal of Approval on us

27 Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father HAS PLACED HIS SEAL OF APPROVAL." NIV

Side Bar

• The seal of the living God speaks of protection and possession.  Today when the Christian receives Christ they are INSTANTLY SEALED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT and inherit eternal life. - God promised Abraham a son, who would be the beginning of a “special race” of people that would be blessed of God, a race which the Messiah would be born.  A people that would be a witness to the pagan world. 

• The Jews are the “Chosen People” although, just as the prophets taught, they rejected their own Messiah Jesus the Christ. - This produced the “New Covenant” in which the Gentiles were grafted into the branch and would receive the promise passed down from Abraham, Isaac & Jacob. The Messiah will come back to Jerusalem “the most Holy place in the world”.

• Their existence provided the Old and New Testaments and protected and preserved the purity of the scriptures.  - The Twelve Tribes of Israel produces the 144,000 WITNESSES.

• Oddly enough, there were Twelve Spies, representing the Twelve Tribes of Israel that went into the Promised Land, ten of the twelve came back with a negative report and would not take the land as God commanded.  Those ten tribes are now scattered; LOST.
• The 10 lost tribes of the Northern kingdom of Israel were all carried off into captivity and scattered among the nations; gone, vanished. - The remaining two tribes in the Southern kingdom were Dan and Judah. – The small tribe of Dan was eventually absorbed into Judah.
• Judah is where we get the name JEW and is the tribe from which our Messiah Jesus Christ would be born. The Jewish nation is the only people that did not lose their national identity when stripped from their homeland; but hung to the vision of returning back to the nation of Israel. – You could say it was a GOD THING. – It’s in the Book –

Numbers 13:31-32 – TEN Tribes brought a negative report

31 But the men who had gone up with him said,

"We can't attack those people; they are stronger than we are."

32 And they spread among the Israelites a BAD REPORT about the land they had explored. They said, "The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size. NIV

Judgment #7

·         The Judgment of the GENTILE NATIONS occurs at the close of the Great Tribulation, and Christ is the Judge. Everyone is judged in their own country. Each person is judged on their attitude and treatment of His chosen people, ISRAEL. 

·         The nations that FAIL are GOAT nations and are cast into hell and cease to exist as a nation.

·         The nations that PASS are SHEEP nations and continue as a Nation in the coming millennial reign of Jesus Christ.  NOTE: Previous to the Gentile Nations being judged, the Jewish Nation had also been judged.

Matthew 25:32-33- The Nations will be Judged

32 All the NATIONS will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd

SEPARATES THE SHEEP FROM THE GOATS.

33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left

NIV

Matthew 25:40-41 – The left will be cursed; sent into eternal fire

40 "The King will reply, `I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

41 "Then he will say to those on his left,

Depart from me, you who are cursed,

into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. NIV

Matthew 25:45-46 – The righteous will enter into eternal life

45 "He will reply, `I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'

46 "Then they will go away to eternal punishment,

BUT THE RIGHTEOUS TO ETERNAL LIFE." NIV

Judgment #8

• The Great White Thrown Judgment is for those that do not believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. – Sadly that includes the Jewish Nation; but God has a plan for them that includes 144,000 MISSIONARIES to the Jews; many will believe.  - It’s in the Book.-
• This Judgment occurs at the close of the 1,000 years reign of Jesus Christ, known as “THE MILLENNIUM” with the completion of the 2nd part of Armageddon.
• The location of this judgment is somewhere between Heaven where there is no sin, and Earth which is under renovation at this time.  There is no place to hide. – The Judge is God the Father. - NYOBS 07.185 – ESCHATOLOGY;  LAST THINGS TO HAPPEN ON EARTH
• The wicked dead, regardless of their position in life are all standing before the throne of God. This is where books are opened revealing their “works or deeds” during their lifetime and their rejection of Jesus Christ.  Every man gets his day in court.  There are degrees of torment that’s added to the penalty of the LIFE sentence in the lake of Fire.   
• In general what follows next is EVER LASTING FIRE, SMOKE, WORMS, WAILING and GNASHING OF TEETH but there is a bonus, they get to meet the Beast.
• The saints have already been judged 1,000 years before at the Judgment Seat of Christ and found NOT GUILTY.  They have already been rewarded and have received their crowns.

·         The number EIGHT in scripture is New Beginnings and New Birth.  After a seven day week, then the eighth day starts a NEW week.  Jesus was resurrected on the 8th day after a seven day week.  The Disciples collected the tithes on the 8th day after a seven day week. There were 8 people saved on the Ark that begin a new life. – The multiple of 8 is 888 which is Jesus Christ our Messiah of the NEW Covenant. -  (Theomatics; Jerry Lucas)

27 And as it is appointed unto men ONCE TO DIE, but after this THE JUDGMENT: KJV

standing before the throne, and BOOKS WERE OPENED.

Another book was opened, which is THE BOOK OF LIFE.

23 I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and

I WILL REPAY EACH OF YOU ACCORDING TO YOUR DEEDS. NIV

Rev 18:5-6 – The Wicked sins are piled up in heaven for payback

5 for her sins are piled up to heaven, and

GOD HAS REMEMBERED HER CRIMES.

6 Give back to her as she has given;

PAY HER BACK DOUBLE for what she has done.

MIX HER A DOUBLE PORTION from her own cup. NIV

prepared for the devil and his angels:

KJV

46 And these shall go away into EVERLASTING PUNISHMENT: but the righteous into life eternal. KJV

Revelation 14:11 – Smoke of the unbeliever will ascend forever

11 And the smoke of their torment ascends up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receives the mark of his name

KJV

24 "And they will go out and look upon the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me;

their WORM will not die, nor will their fire be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind."

NIV

11 and in regard to judgment, because (Satan)

THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD NOW STANDS CONDEMNED.  NIV

John 12:31 – Satan will be driven out of this world

31 Now is the time for judgment on this world; now

THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD (SATAN) WILL BE DRIVEN OUT. NIV

The Take Away

• Of the Eight Judgments there are two MAIN judgments – The Judgment Seat of Christ and The Great White Throne Judgment.

• After our RESURRECTION, Believers and Non-believers alike will ALL be judged. - The resurrection is the very CENTER of Christianity – What think ye – Was Jesus resurrected? Whether you believe in God and Jesus or not; at the Judgment every knee will bow and every person will give an account to God for their actions.

·         The Books will be opened

a)   The Bible which is the word of God that judges them.

b)   The Book of Deeds containing the account of each man’s works and deeds on earth.

c)   The Book of Life with the names written down of those that accepted Jesus Christ as the Son of God. – Our Salvation is based on Jesus plus nothing else.

• The decisions we make on this side of death have ETERNAL CONCEQUENCES. - When you are born, your name is ALREADY IN the Book of life. – Your decisions determine if your name stays in “The Book” or is blotted out. - That should answer your questions about salvation for a baby or child that died early in life. – It’s in the Book -
• Question: Would you do anything different if you knew that you would have to explain your actions to God, knowing that He already knows what’s in your heart?
• When Jesus came the first time He did NOT come to judge; but the second time He WILL. - He will be seated at the right hand of God the Father at both Judgments and will judge Fallen Angels, Demons, the False Prophet, the Anti-Christ, Satan and ALL those that are “Spiritually Blind” that have led others astray; they will be especially dealt with. – There are some TV personalities that have millions of followers going in the wrong direction. This is especially sad and grievous for them as well as for their followers who will all perish.

27 Just as man is DESTINED to die once, and

Romans 14:10-12 - Each will give an account of himself to God

10 You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother?

For WE WILL ALL STAND BEFORE GOD'S JUDGMENT SEAT.

11 It is written: "`As surely as I live,' says the Lord, `

every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God.'" 

12 then, EACH OF US WILL GIVE AN ACCOUNT OF HIMSELF TO GOD NIV

John 5:22-23 – Judgment has been entrusted to Jesus alone

23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him. NIV

John 9:39-41 – Those that lead people astray will be judged

39 Jesus said, "FOR JUDGMENT I HAVE COME INTO THIS WORLD, so that the blind will see and those who (think they spiritual) see will become blind."

your GUILT REMAINS.

20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin.

NIV

BOOK - Rev 3:5 – The BOOK of Life overcomer’s name stays in Book

5 He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will

never BLOT OUT his name from THE BOOK OF LIFE, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels.

NIV

Exodus 32:33 – In the beginning your name is in God’s book

33 The LORD replied to Moses, "Whoever has sinned

against me I will BLOT OUT of my book.

NIV

By your words you are acquitted or condemned.  But I tell you that men will have to give account on the Day of Judgment for every careless (blasphemous) word they have spoken.

For by your words (that’s in your heart) you will be acquitted,

and by your words (that’s in your heart) you will be condemned.

For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.  Matt 12:34-37 NIV

John 7:17 – Want to do the Will of God? Then know Christ
¹⁷ Anyone who wants to DO THE WILL of God

will know whether my teaching is from God

or is merely my own. (NLT)

In the multitude of counselors,

there is wisdom.

Proverbs 11:14

I am grateful to those that went before me providing concepts, ideas, historical

information, and scripture verses.  Because of them I can stand on their shoulders

                         and see further that I otherwise ever could have.
