Are you prepared for the most important appointment of your life and of your eternal existence?

Who is the Judge in this terrifying and shocking court of judgment and eternal sentencing?

This Judge is Jesus Christ the Holy, all powerful Creator of the entire universe and He will preside over the eternal destiny of every person who has ever lived.

The Holiness and Majesty of Jesus Christ the final Judge

Isaiah 6:1, In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of His robe filled the temple. 2 Above Him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.”

3 And they were calling to one another: “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of His glory.” 4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.

Revelation 1:12, “I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and among the lampstands was someone like a Son of Man, dressed in a robe reaching down to His feet and with a golden sash around His chest. 14 The hair on His head was white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes were like blazing fire.

15 His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of rushing waters.

16 In His right hand He held seven stars, and coming out of His mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.”

17 “When I saw Him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then He placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. – As if I were dead; deprived of sense and consciousness.”

Commentary: John was so overwhelmed with the radiant Holiness of Jesus Christ that John fell to the ground on his face as if he were dead.

Matthew 17:2, “And Jesus Christ was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as radiant light.”

The Final Judgment and the fate of people who have not made Jesus Christ the Lord of their life.

John 5:26, “The Father gave Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man. 28 “Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, 29 and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment.”

Revelation 20:11-13, “Then I saw a Great White Throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened;

and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds.

And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds.”

Commentary: Revelation 20:11 – Because the earth and heavens have been so defiled and polluted by sin and evil, they were destroyed by the Holy presence of Jesus Christ.

Everything that rebellious sinners, religious hypocrites and pretenders owned or trusted in has been removed by the destruction of the earth; these terrified, wicked people are suspended before the Judgment seat, the earth is gone and everything that sinners thought was secure has vanished, all that they now have is a fear of Jesus Christ the Judge and of being cast of the Lake of Fire, for all of eternity.

Matthew 25:46, “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

Hebrews 9:27, “And it is appointed for men to die once and after death comes judgment.”

Hebrews 10:26, “If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.

29 How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the Blood of the covenant that can sanctify them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?”

30 For we know Him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge His people.”

31 “It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”

Verse 29 commentary: Sinful people trample Jesus and His blood under their wicked feet and insult the Holy Spirit every day that they live in rebellion and sin.

1 Peter 4:5 “But they will give account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.”

Revelation 14:6, “Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people. 7 He said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come.”

Romans 14:12, “So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.”

Every rebellious sinner will have an eternal court date – an eternal appointment to stand before Jesus Christ at the Great White Throne Judgment.

When Jesus Christ returns to earth for the second time every sinner will be terrified at His Holy and Almighty presence. “His eyes were like blazing fire,” He will look into the proud, evil soul of every rebellious sinner.

Revelation 6:15, Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the commanders and the rich and the powerful, and every slave and free man hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains;

16 and they pleaded to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; 17 for the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”

Mark 8:36 “What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? 37 Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?”

In this verse Jesus Christ the creator and owner of everything warned the people who are proud in spirit and greedy for wealth, power, and the control of institutions and people.

Matthew 10:28, “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.”

Who will not be at the Great White Throne Judgment?

The only people who will not be at this terrifying, horrific Judgment will be every person who as accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior and confessed Him as the absolute Lord of their life.

How can you escape this terrifying judgment and the torture of an eternity in the Lake of Fire?

1. Accept the fact that you are a lost, rebellious sinner and that you can not save yourself from this horrific Judgment.
2. Believe that Jesus Christ paid the penalty for all of your sins when He was tortured to death on the Cross.
3. Confess that God raised Jesus from the grave and confess that you are accepting Jesus Christ as the absolute Lord of your life and that every thing that you say, think and do will be for His honor and glory.
