What is the purpose of the judgement in Revelation 20?

There is an idea in Scripture that some will fare worse than others when it comes to Hell........

 

Matthew 10

24 Nevertheless I say to you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you.”

 

Matthew 18

but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

 

I can see something in this.

This suggests that a person's works will decide how severe their punishment is.

 

Hi Oakwood.

 

1. At the second coming;This wicked system will be destroyed,only the true belivers resurrected in spirit form.

    The rest of the survivors and the dead in their graves will be left as is.

 

2. The jews from the past and present and some living will be brought back to their own land,in the flesh.

    which will be paradise(jerusalem).Only the remnant of the jews chosen by God.

    The saints will rule over them,as kings and priests. And Jesus as king of kings.

    This would be the kingdom of the saints,for one thousand years.The lion will eat straw.

 

3. The gentiles left,will multiply outside the square(kingdom),and so will the jews inside the square(paradise). 

 

4.The jews taught christ by the saints,will also teach the gentiles out side.

     many gentiles will accept Christ,But many also will not.

 

5.When the thousand years are past, satan will be let loose to draw the non believers of the gentiles outside,

   to one place to attack the square(kingdom). They all will be destroyed by God himself this time.

   This is the war of gog and magog.

   Now all the wicked are dead;satan and his angels cast into the fire.

 

6.There are still many dead gentiles in the graves of all generations,and all religions.

    They will be brought back to life; judged by their deeds(hearts).

    The sheep placed on the right(the good hearted),and the goats on the left(the mean hearted). 

    The goats, cast in the fire;the sheep accepted,and changed into spirit form,and will join all the saints.

 

7. Now all the wicked are no more, all the saints will be God's children.

 

8. But  the earth is still poluted on the suface, and under the earth.

    The earth will be melted, and a new earth created. All the saints will be  in heaven untill its done.

9. Then all will come down to the new earth,and God will also dwell on earth,all can see Him face to face. 

 

God's will is done in earth. 

 

jesse.

 

Where in the bible say that the wicked will accept Christ in the 1000 year and get salvation ?

Are you saying there will be baptism in the 1000 years ? thanks 

 

I am sure that there will be the same ritual of baptism of water.

It's not written in scripture.

 

jesse.

 

The bible does not say that there is a second chance for anyone in the 1000 years 

Though they listen to Jesus that is the wicked nations it would be in vain as regards to salvation thus they are ruled with a rod of iron and only listen to survive and eat 

 

Zechariah 14:16-18King James Version (KJV)
 
16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
 
17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
 
18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

Probation period is closed thus we live for Jesus now so that when He comes we will not be found wanting 

 
 
Isaiah 65:20King James Version (KJV)
 
20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.

 

During the 1000yr reign many gentiles of the outside will be converted.

They will be invited in each year to celebrate the feast of tabernacles

 

Zechariah 14:16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

Zechariah 14:18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

Zechariah 14:19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

Malachi 2:12 The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the LORD of hosts.

During the 1000 year reign of Christ, people will marry, have children and bring their offerings to Jerusalem. At the end of the 1000 years God will judge each one according to how they served Jesus and those who deny Him will be sent to eternal damnation and those who have been faithful will be rewarded accordingly.

Many gentiles will be converted during the 1000yrs.

Many also will not. This is the reason why satan will be let loose.

To draw all the non believers to his side,to surround the camp of the saints.

And God will destroy them all. This is the gog and magog war.

Even though the people obey God during the 1000 years they will not be saved probation period is over just as the days of Noah notice that God closed the door so it will be in the end 

 

 God will closed the door they will be among the five foolish virgins

Agree.

For there are many good hearted gentiles of all kinds of believe systems. 

They will not be just cast into the fire,They will be judged according to their hearts.

My point had nothing to do with either of these.

 

Why judge people according to their works when only believers are saved?

Why judge any non-believer when the verdict (damnation) has already been passed?

Why judge any believer when we are cleansed of all our sins by the blood of Christ?

 

So why are people being judged according to their works? This sounds to me as if non-believers are being given a chance at salvation, but that clearly conflicts with the rest of scripture that says that only those who believe in Christ are saved.

 

 

What I laid out there is what you're talking about. Sorry it seemed too technical.

 

Without Christ the soul is left with being judged by their works, no remission of sins. That affects their placement in the 1,000 years, but it does not mean the verdict is passed yet, the jury is still out for those during the 1,000 years. The verdict isn't passed until the Great White Throne Judgment after the 1,000, and that's the point.

 

The reason for Christ's thousand years reign is like Apostle Paul showed in 1 Cor.15, that Christ MUST reign over all His enemies until they are made His footstool. It's to show them Who The GOD really is, because during this present world the majority of them were deceived, or blinded by God Himself (Rom.11). In other words, it shows that not all peoples have the same time to 'know' Christ The Saviour. During the 1,000 years none will have an excuse, so IF they decide to let Satan deceive them again at the end of 1,000 years when he is released, it will mean they made their choice to perish with him with their blinders fully removed, meaning full accountability.

 

With the deceived in the Church, the five foolish virgins He closes the door upon, what about them? I believe Jesus will save those of them that realize what they had done in falling away from Him to worship another in His place, because they were deceived. Lot of brethren are going to fall away especially in these last days, and worship the coming Antichrist thinking he is our Lord Jesus having come. They just won't know the difference, because their Church leaders haven't prepared them, and they relied on their Church leadership instead of directly on Christ in His Word to know (i.e., lacking the spare vessel of the Oil), so they are like blind sheep. Most of those I would say are ordained to that deception, God has blinded them, along with unbelieving Israel. But in the 1,000 years, they will 'know', and I'd like to think they all will repent and be saved.

Are you saying that the new Jerusalem will exist during the 1000 years  ? thanks 

 

 

Yes, but not in full. During the 1,000 years it is referred to as the city in Rev.22:14 and "camp of the saints" in Rev.20. It will include the Ezekiel sanctuary of Ezekiel 40 forward. But after the 1,000 years, there will be no more temple like Revelation says. In Ezekiel 47, the River of the waters of life and tree of life is manifested with the Ezekiel temple. In Rev.22:14-15, Christ's elect are inside the gates of the city with right to the tree of life, while the wicked are outside it.

 

This means during... the 1,000 years, God's River and the Tree of Life will be... back on earth with the holy city, and with a temple (Ezekiel's temple). That is where Christ with His faithful saints will reign from, on earth.

The new Jerusalem only comes after the new earth has been created 

 

The meaning of for without are dogs etc is not saying that these people are literally outside of the physical city but will not get eternal life 

 

The earth is curse and only when created new then the new city comes down 

 

the saints will be in old Jeusalem read Is Isa 4 and 

 

Isaiah 24:23King James Version (KJV)
 
23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the Lord of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.
 
This is the camp of the saints on the old earth not the new

This is the camp of the saints on the old earth not the new 

 

 

So that city with Ezekiel's temple, God's River flowing out the sanctuary, and the tree of life manifested on each side of that River have nothing to do with the New Jerusalem???

 

Rev.21-22 does not give a clear separation of times, simply because the Rev.22:14-15 Scripture DOES show the wicked outside the gates of the holy city in that time...

 

Rev.22

14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

 

What you seem to not understand is that above Scripture is Millennium timing, it goes with the events of Rev.20 during Christ's 1,000 years reign. Those are the "nations" in that chapter outside the "camp of the saints". That city is... the "camp of the saints", the Ezekiel 40 forward layout with a Millennium sanctuary, God's River, and the tree of life, on earth.

 

That's the Scripture, take it or leave it, but don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about just because the actual Scripture goes against some doctrine of men you've heeded instead.

 

When you folks learn to open up the Old Testament Books in study as much as you rely on the New Testament Books, and learn, instead of listening to the many preachers out there that haven't done that OT study either, then I might be willing to help with these kind of matters. But for now, I am done.
