Preface Summary

There are two prominent different judgments described in the scriptures that will be occurring in the future:

• Judgment Seat of Christ, which is for humans that have Salvation through the payment of sins by Jesus Christ.  This is where rewards, inheritance and roles in Eternity will be given.  Rewards, inheritance and roles collectively will be called rewards in this topic.

• Great White Throne of Judgment, which is for
  (a) all humans that do not have Jesus Christ as their Savior,
  (b) all Fallen Angels, and
  (c) all Demons
  to receive their degree of punishment and then sent to the Lake of Fire.

Concerning both Judgments, the following summary points are the viewpoints from a few Biblical Scholars with some additions from this author that have been summarized.

Human Beings who Have Salvation will see:

1. [Judgment Seat of Christ] All of the human beings with Salvation will see all of the incidents of love, charity and good deeds that were done for God in the entire lives of everyone that has Salvation. 
   (a) This shows us the Glory that is due to God, because apart from God we are not capable of doing anything for the Kingdom of God.
   (b) This shows us the Grace and Mercy given to all of us that have Salvation, which proves the Great Love God has for us.
    (See John 15:5 and Revelation 21:1, scriptures shown below)
   (c) This is where Rewards in Eternity are given to us by Jesus Christ.
    
2. [Great White Thrown of Judgment] God will show each and every incident of sin for the entire lives of:
   (a) All human beings that do NOT have Salvation,
   (b) The evil done by the Fallen Angels,
   (c) The evil done by Nephilim who became Demons,
   which will show God's perfection in judgment and fairness.  See Revelation 20:12, scripture shown below.
3. [Great White Thrown of Judgment] God will give the opportunity for all human beings, that have Salvation, to provide comments and participate in the judgment of Fallen Angels and Demons.
4. [Great White Thrown of Judgment] God is the sole judge of human being who do not have Salvation, where all us who have Salvation will be allowed to watch God as Judge.  (See 1 Corinthians 6:3-4, scripture shown below)

Note: Jesus Christ is the sole Judge to hand out rewards to those who accepted Him as their Savior. (See 2 Timothy 4:1 and many, many others)

Those Who do NOT have Salvation:

1. [Great White Thrown of Judgment] God will NOT let any human being who does not have Salvation see any rewards being given to those who will be entering into Eternity with God.
2. [Great White Thrown of Judgment] God will NOT let all Fallen Angels and the Demons see any rewards being given to those who will be entering into Eternity with God.
3. [Great White Thrown of Judgment] God will NOT let any human being without Salvation, Fallen Angel and Demon see the New Earth and New Heavens.  More on this later in this topic.

Thoughts regarding these viewpoints just listed above:

• The "books" reference, Revelation 20:12, is a technology statement, which in common day vernacular would be equivalent to a court room reviewing the detailed video/recorded evidence, but it also reveals the internal thoughts of the participants that God hears regarding motives.
• From our earthly perspective of Time, we cannot understand how God will exactly conduct the Judgments with so many people, Fallen Angels and Demons but we need to remember that our God has infinite power and perfection where we all will be in awe over God's handling of events in time with all of His Creation, regardless of their destinies.
• Time is for God's uses and God exists outside of time, where from our Earthly perspective, God exists outsides of the known proposed dimensions in reality. 

• When considering the future abilities, such as enhanced senses for all people who have Salvation when receiving our glorified bodies, consider all of senses that humans have such as sight, smell, taste, hearing, touch and senses the animal kingdom has such as sonar, magnetic north positioning and others we have not discovered.  Will we, that have Salvation, receive super enhanced abilities, where the answer is yes from many scriptural passages. As a minor comparison for understanding our potential glorified bodies and abilities, think how long it takes us to hear someone reading information from a manuscript.  When we read the information, it goes faster.  This demonstrates methods of receiving information as human-beings. We have no idea the new gifts, with the abilities, that God will be giving us later.  There might be the ability of experiencing a instantaneous ability to absorb time periods in mere moments with a blending of sight, hearing and feelings of others which will be very helpful during God's Judgments.  We will be possibly experiencing the benefits that the science of Quantum Physics theorizes about higher dimensions where those who inhabit higher dimensions have the ability to see lower dimensions of the past and future simultaneously, which God absolutely can do.  J Vernon McGee, in the late 1960s, spoke that he imagined "it will be like watching events on the biggest movie screen imaginable" regarding the rewards' Judgment Seat of Christ and Great White Thrown of Judgment.    Regardless of how God conducts both events, it will reveal the many aspects to God's Glory that are part of the purpose of all history.

• Some Christians may argue that if God were to show all of the deeds done in the good and bad judgments, then it would be the two-math equations shown below that would approach trillions of years.  There are three major points to consider regarding these equations:

• There is one primary reason why God is going to create a new Heaven and a new Earth which many Biblical Scholars point to Lucifer and the Fallen Angels who tainted the current locations (plural intended). 

Judgment Seat of Christ

The Judgment Seat of Christ is where the person who accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior will be rewarded with an inheritance. The Lamb's Book of Life is used.  The inheritance is based on these five primary points:

The process of the judgment for rewards is summarized in 1 Corinthians 3:12-15, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, and many others.  Many Christians identify 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 as pertaining to those who will not be in Heaven with God, but the implication of "inherit" has implications according to some Biblical Scholars and this author to mean that also Christians who participate in the following areas along with never over coming them, will lose or not have inheritance in Heaven even when going there.  This is also the implication of the Wedding Supper of the Lamb, so the strong advisement for all of us to stop participating in any of the areas listed in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11:

1. Sexual immorality
2. Idolatry
3. Adultery
4. Homosexuality
5. Thieves
6. Greediness
7. Drunkenness
8. Revilers (people who are abusive, angry, and insulting)
9. Swindlers

The list, of what is known, of our inheritance is explained in the Rewards in Heaven topic.  Many Christians seem to be unaware:

• The Judgment Seat is an evaluation of life taken from the positive point of view on accomplishments where we all will see a moment-by-moment perspective of how God was there in our lives along with our service to Him. 

• There will not be a negative critique of anyone's lives as the Jesus Christ paid for everyone's sins. 

• There will be a sense of understanding of disappointment within ourselves that requires "God to wipe away our tears" (Revelation 21:4 listed below) for the loss of opportunities, bad choices and bad behavior.

The Judgment Seat is like a rewards ceremony where there will be some people who will not have anything to show for their earthly life service to our God and King, but there will be God always involved giving Grace and Mercy. 

The Judgment Seat of Christ is not the same thing as the Wedding Supper of the Lamb.  The Wedding Supper of the Lamb is an invitation only dinner for those excelled in their relationship with God in their life.  This is also explained in the topic on Rewards in Heaven.

All of us will experience a joy that surpasses our understanding to comprehend when we learn of the reality of getting to be with God in Paradise for Eternity.  There will be an initial period also of reflection and realization of what opportunities that we all have missed in the five points above. 

God exists outside of our Time Domain where a period of time in Heaven can occur while zero time on earth or a small time on earth has transpired if God so desires it.  Revelation 21:4's event is obviously concerning the New Heavens and New Earth, but in this author's opinion, it also reflects the event of the Judgment Seat of Christ where we all will have regrets that causes tears.  This is why Revelation 21:4 states that God will wipe our tears of sadness for the lost opportunities we had in our lives to be better than we were and most likely to have not influenced other people to be Saved which we cared about.

All of our good actions, that are deserving of inheritance in Eternity, cannot be judged until after the end of Tribulation Period and Second Coming of Jesus Christ to the Earth, because the full ramifications of our merits cannot be realized with their full extent of the love, happiness and to the glory to God until the last person affected by them has had their life completed.  The Judgment Seat of Christ occurs before the 1000 Year Millennium Kingdom of Jesus Christ. 

The people who will live during the 1000 Year Millennial Kingdom of Christ will come from those who survived and born after the Tribulation Period.  They will have a new direct understanding and knowledge of God because of Jesus Christ will be ruling during that period as read in Hebrews 8:1, and not influenced by our lives that were before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.  That is the first reason why the Judgment Seat of Christ is before the Millennial Kingdom and the second reason has to do with who attends the Wedding Supper of the Lamb, as the attendees with be going back to Earth to reign with Jesus Christ in the Millennial Kingdom as read in Revelation 2:25-26.

As a beautiful example of rewards accumulating over time, is the Thief on the Cross who asked Jesus Christ on the Cross to remember him when Jesus Christ comes into His Kingdom.  Jesus Christ told the thief that on that very day that the thief would be with Him in Paradise.  Ever since that event, there have been people who were near death or even have lived debaucherous lives, and who remember the story of the thief where they also gave their life to Jesus Christ unto their Salvation potentially at the last moments of their life.  The Thief on the Cross, since that time has been earning future payments of rewards because of the action, deed and words spoken while the Thief was near death on the cross with Jesus Christ.  The final tally of those who had and will have part of their inspiration because of the thief will not be known until the time of the end. 

Chronological Events

There are many Biblical Scholars who have different opinions on when the Judgment Seat of Christ occurs.  Many opinions are based on a human's perspective of how much time is allowed to get a task done in Heaven while other events are happening on earth.  As pointed out above, God is not limited by earthly time as God exists outside of our Time Domain, and this author believes time between Heaven and Earth is totally different.  Additionally, we will be getting new bodies with enhanced abilities to:

• Understand Heavenly events, no matter the duration.
• Perfected mental acuity and capacity from the point of receiving our new bodies.
• And so much more.

As mentioned above in this topic, those who attend the Wedding Supper of the Lamb will be going back to Earth with Christ for any assignments, duties and tasks during the 1000 Year Millennial Kingdom of Christ.  Also, all of us will be getting tasks and responsibilities in eternity.

It is several Biblical Scholars and this author's opinion that the Judgment Seat of Jesus Christ occurs in a mere moment of Earth's time.  When the event is occurring in Heaven, the location is in a different Time Domain, which is the reference "1c" in this list.  It is this author's opinion, that I haven't read or heard from any source, that because God's handling of time can have everyone who will have lived participate at the Judgment Seat of Christ even when specific groups will be going back to reign in the 1000 Year Millennial Kingdom of Christ after the Wedding Supper of the Lamb.  This is explained more in the "Time Domain regarding the Judgment Seat of Christ" section further down in this topic.

Three points on the events:

Sheep and Goat Judgment

Our New Spiritual Bodies

As discussed above in this topic, there will be some Believers who will not be rulers with Jesus Christ in the 1000-year Millennial Kingdom of Christ as described in many scriptures such as Revelation 20.  When the Believers who come back to Earth after the Tribulation Period, with Jesus Christ, they will have new Spirit Bodies, and those still remaining in Heaven will also have new Spiritual Bodies. 

For more information and an explanation, see the section called "Wrong wedding garment being cast out..." and other sections in the Rewards in Heaven topic. These people still have Salvation and will be with God in Eternity, but just not participating in some events.

Several Biblical Commentaries, state that those who were still alive on Earth, at the end of the 1000-year Millennial Kingdom of Christ, who also accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior, will remain on Earth but be given a new perfected Human Body as human beings who cannot die.  Those who died will be in a new Heavenly Body living in the New Jerusalem. 

Great White Throne of Judgment

This is the judgment destiny for:

1. All of Humankind who did not accept Jesus Christ as their Savior,
2. The Fallen Angels,
3. The Demons that were once the Nephilim, and
4. Lucifer.

Note that the Antichrist and the False Prophet were already cast into the Lake of Fire alive before the 1000-year Millennial Kingdom of Christ.

Here are some points regarding this Judgment:

1. Humans without Salvation, who died in the ancient past or lived at the time of Jesus Christ's Second Coming, could not be judged until the Tribulation Period is over because their sin can have far reaching consequences.  As a hypothetical example, a person in the ancient past who rejects God, then moves to an Island where there would have been descendants who never hear about God.
2. Humans without Salvation, that live during the 1000-year Millennial Kingdom of Christ, can still have negative influence on others that require the end of the 1000 years to be accumulated.  We know that this is true because there will be one last attempt to fight against at the end of the 1000 years when Lucifer is released from chains in Tartarus as read in revelation 20:7, which is the Second Armageddon Event.
3. Similar to the Judgment Seat of Christ, all humans that have Salvation will see the entire lives of humans (without Salvation), Fallen Angels and Demons.
   (a) This requires us to see their actions for the entire existence in order to be fair judges of the Fallen Angels and Demons
   (b) This requires us to see the action of humans, without Salvation, to see God is being a righteous Judge.
   (c) Will give glory to God on how He was involved in the lives of humans, who do not Salvation.
   (d) Rhetorically, would God expect us to just see a few actions without considering all events to know a judgment is fair?
4. The Fallen Angels, Demons and Lucifer, will have a rejecting influence up and until the very end before this Judgment.

We know from the scriptures, that everyone who has Salvation will participate, with Jesus Christ, in the judgment of the Fallen Angels, which infers Demons also as read in 1 Corinthians 6:3.  Jesus Christ alone will judge humans that do not have Salvation.  This all occurs at the Great White Throne of Judgment. 

It is the opinion of this author that we will see every single point of sinful actions of those without Salvation.  Some readers may disagree as this as it would lead to an almost infinite amount of time as expressed below in the equation. 

The reasoning for this, by this author, is it will accomplish these four important goals:

1. All of those who are being judged to go to the Eternal Lake of Fire will be reminded, shown and know of the sins against God and others. 
   (a) There will be those who do not know that a single sin led to others suffering, where God will show the full unknown ramifications of the damage caused by sin. 
   (b) The far-ranging implications of a person's sin will be on their mind in the Eternal Lake of Fire.
2. Everyone who has Salvation, will not have any doubts or feelings of indignation for those who are judged because their sins are exposed, known and the suffering caused by them are shown.  Those of us who have Salvation will be deeply grieved which will require God to wipe away tears, Revelation 21:4 shown above.
3. Absolutely everyone will see and know that God is being impartial, fair and perfect in the judgment, to mankind that will go to the Eternal Lake of Fire, which gives glory and honor to God.  We will be riveted, astonished, experience greater love for God as we see how God handled:
   (a) Consequences of the sins of mankind during the time of their Earthly lives.
   (b) The times when God tried to reach into mankind's lives and God was still rejected.
   (c) Consequences for eternity in the Lake of Fire.
   (d) The times that God even gave Grace and Mercy to those who would never accept Him.  Note: As an example, many Biblical Scholars which this author agrees, state the Jesus Christ taught in parables often that required Jesus Christ explaining it to the Apostles afterwards.  By the Parables, those who heard and did not accept Jesus Christ for Salvation, were then less accountable for future punishment as they didn't know the meaning of what Jesus Christ was teaching in the Parable.  See Mark 4:10-20 and others.
4. All of those who are being judged to go to the Eternal Lake of Fire will realize:
   (a) That at the end of their Earthly life, they rejected God.
   (b) They have rejected the price that Jesus Christ did for them, so this will be the most heinous of the sins. 
   (c) They will realize that they put zero value on what Jesus Christ did for them, where the price and gift of Jesus Christ was the most valued payment and treasure given by God.

The full suffering for those who will go to the Lake of Fire, in this author's opinion, will contain 12 Areas of Suffering.

No Remembrance of Those Condemned

In order for all of us to enjoy the presence God and each other in Eternity located in all the future Heavens (plural intended) that God has in store for us who love Him, then the memory of anyone we loved and cared about that went to the Eternal Lake of Fire will be gone.  This will be a gift from God which is part of the prophecy of Revelation 21:4, Isaiah 65:17 and part of Psalm 103:12.

What to read next?

What is Salvation?  Is it possible to lose Salvation?  We have eternal life.  Evolution is not real.  When a Christian suffers is there benefits from it.  Rewards in heaven.  Do we Tithe?  What does the 3rd Commandment tell us?  What is Grace and Mercy?  Is there an Age of Accountability?  Is there a place of unending punishment and exile form God?
