Notes on the Judgments
Compiled by WD Kemner January 2024
With any conversation regarding “resurrection” there must be discussion on “judgment”. The purpose of resurrections is ultimately for judgment.
Separation of the Good from the Evil
There are passages in scripture that talk about specific judgments that will occur. Judgment will ultimately result in the separation of those that are evil from those that are good. The Good and the Bad to stand before God for separate distinct judgment after death.
The Good Seed Parable told by Jesus regarding separating Good and Evil for Judgment
Jesus illustrates the separation of the Good and the Evil with the separation of Sheep and Goats like a shepherd.
John 5:28-29
JUDGMENT ON THE NATIONS
Will be held in Valley of Jehoshaphat Joel 3:1-8
Will be held after Israel has been restored. Judgment of ALL nations of the world for their treatment of God’s children Israel.
The Jews were warned repeatedly to come back to God by Prophets. They continued further from God with practicing the worship of idols. They would go into captivity for punishment. Prior to that happening God WARNED the nations that He would return and they would be held in judgment for how they treated the Jews that would be coming into captivity. PRIOR WARNING in Advance!
Zechariah 1:18-21 Those responsible for scattering Judah will be judged.
Judgment Seat of Christ
This is held for the believers. 2 Corinthians 5:10; Matthew 16:27
Romans 14:10-12
Everyone will stand before the judgment seat, then bow and confess Him, then give an account.
(Therefore, this does not include the evil, the evil have already declared their stand against God)
