The White Throne is the very last judgment
if God chooses he can save anyone at any age, even the unborn because the Lord chose them
You limit the scale of Gods plan by assuming that it is all over at the great judgement. But as the complete plan is not completely written yet you cannot assume the end at that point.
Judgement if examined carefully has been translated from 2 words krisis, and gnome, these 2 words have a different meaning than judgement, that being krisis= crisis, and gnome= a way
of knowing.
Thus a crisis- a time of great trouble, a turning point. Gnome- a way of knowing. Slap the 2 together you get. A crisis as a way of knowing. Not a literal guilty or not guilty.
This can be shown during the judgement period in that those who are judged are judged ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS. Now if the only thing that was necessary to stay out of
the lake of fire was whether or not one was born again, thus an elect, then there would be no reason to judge according to the works of the non elect.
Now if the great judgement creates a crisis as a way of knowing, it creates a belief because of seeing. They are there, they see Jesus, and are judged according to works. Why?
In order to place them back in the lake of fire in the same spiritual spot they were prior to their death. However; they have now been shown that the truth of Jesus' resurrection
is indeed true. More to this but no time or space.
2 Thes 1:4-5 "So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: which is a
MANIFEST TOKEN OF THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGEMENT OF GOD, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer."
As noted in the above the righteous judgement produces persecutions and tribulations that make one worthy of the kingdom of God. And yes these are elect being perfected. But it does show
that Gods judgement is not one of guilty or not guilty. It is crisis as a way of entering the kingdom more than one has already. Maturity.
One last note. The lake of fire includes the false prophet (all false religions), the beast (government), Satan, death, the grave, etc....
First: this planet is a lake of fire within as the core is nothing more than molten lava at 9,800 degrees F.
Second: death and the grave are enemies that are put under Jesus' feet thus simply destroying them is not the way that is done. As all things including death and the grave are to be reconciled,
so we have death and the grave in the second death because people will die and be buried.
Government is composed of people who run it. Thus government will be up and running during the second death period, as well as false religion. Why? So that the next group of elect
will suffer persecutions and tribulations, as we who go through them now, for their own good. 1Thes 1:4-5
And you might ask the question why would Satan be placed back in at this point? To do the same thing he does now. He as an anti Christ figure is charged with carrying out the will of God for
all when it comes to the negative things in life that are actually for our benefit, but we do not like them in the least while they are happening. Jesus' betrayal and crucifixion as an example, which
in the betrayal, Satan used Judas, but God is the one whom had foreordained Jesus to be the Lamb of sacrifice to take away the sin of the world, before the world was made. Satan was charged
with carrying out that will, though I would have to say he did not want to as in doing so he lost the power of death.
Fear hath torment 1 Jo 4:18, thus organized religion uses fear of eternal torment to keep the sheep in their care in line and paying the bills. But if there is no understanding of the spiritual
meaning of the words of the book then fear and torment are all that one will see.
However; Jesus plainly stated that the words which He spoke were Spirit and LIFE. Not eternal torment.
John 12:47 ...........for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world." Suppose He will not accomplish that for which He came???????
