Principles of the Doctrine of Christ: Eternal Judgement (continued)

Beloved, in continuance of our theme from the “Principles of the Doctrine of Christ” series, entitled “Eternal Judgment,” – Revelation 20:11 teaches us that the “Eternal Judgment” sentence for the rest of the dead, the ones who failed to take part in the first resurrection (the rapture of the saints), must have their final judgment at the “great white throne” – “And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; [because] there was found no place for them.” You see, Beloved, as I told you last week, there will be “no place” in eternity for sinful people to go but Hell, because every space will be redecorated with perfect holiness and cleanliness. In “Eternity” God will not alter any sin to contaminate His “new heaven and…new earth” (Revelation 21:1).

Precious Ones, we see Satan as he comes to his judgment and is “cast…into a lake of fire burning with brimstone” and “his body [is] destroyed” (Revelations 19:20 and Daniel 7:11). “The beast and the false prophet” (Satan and the Anti-Christ) are both “cast alive into [the] lake of fire” at the beginning of the thousand years after having been slain by the Sword of the Lord. Beloved, this is the wrong place for you or your loved ones. As God’s children, let us pray night and day that every acquaintance we meet will not experience this dreadful fate.

Chosen Ones, during the dispensation of “Eternal Judgment,” the Lord Jesus will come to punish the inhabitants of the pre-existing world and to rid this world of sinners before the thousand years of peace. When you have time let your daily scripture reading include Jude vs. 14-15; Isaiah 13:9 and 26:20-21; 2 Peter 3:10; and 2 Thessalonians 1:8. Beloved, you will clearly see that there is a sentence to be executed on them “who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power” (2 Thessalonians 1:9).

Children of God, this should not be the fate of us or our loved ones; nor should it be the fate of those who are acquainted with us. We should experience “everlasting life,” not “everlasting death.” Let us judge ourselves now so that we will not be judged later. God sends these scriptural warnings to prevent us from this horrible experience. Let us take “heed to the things which we have heard…[and not] let them slip [out of our minds]” (Hebrews 2:1).

I will write more on this subject next week. Until then, know this…

I love you all so very much.
In His Love,

Pastor William L. McCoy
