This week we examine the most awful segment of human history. The Great White Throne Judgment will be the last time mankind is adjudicated by God. The majority of humanity will find it horrible since they are not saved.

God spoke through the prophets in the Old Testament about a final judgment. Jesus warned repeatedly people when He walked on earth before His crucifixion. Even after the resurrection, Jesus continued to warn about what would take place in the end times.

Are people paying attention? No, the majority of pastors refuse to preach on this subject since it threatens the income of the church. They are more concerned about money than warning the lost who attend their assemblies. Is it any wonder that these wayward shepherds were called hirelings by Jesus because they aren’t feeding the flock?

I can tell you for sure that I will be at this event at the end of the millennium and so will you. You will be a bystander if you are saved, but if you have not been born again, it will be a horrible time as you are judged for your sins.

We are going to see the biggest courthouse ever. All the resurrected believers will be in attendance. Television screens will line the walls, and as the people are brought in to stand before Jesus, we will see their life videos and hear their pleading to be forgiven. No grace will be extended at this point, just an expectation of punishment for their unrepentance.

Giant holding cells around the courthouse will hold every person who died in their sins. We are talking about the first person to the last individual who died during the thousand year kingdom. They will all be resurrected with shameful bodies that are ugly to look upon. These resurrected bodies will be indestructible, completely impervious to the Lake of Fire, but still allow the person to feel pain.

The first person brought in is Adam and there is a gasp among the resurrected believers when they discover that Adam never repented of his sins. One by one, they are all brought in to be judged. No one in a resurrected body ages and therefore it doesn’t matter that this trial could take decades as each person is brought in and a painstakingly accurate video of their life is shown.

All the people who have been resurrected from the dead are unsaved and their screams echo in the courtroom one by one as they are led out. It is not until the people who lived during the thousand year kingdom that a name is at long last found in the Book of Life. These people fall on their knees and worship Jesus on the throne. All the believers in Christ in the gallery break out in praise so strongly that the walls vibrate from their voices. It is so contagious that even the holy angels praise God.

Every mystery, murder, scheme and hidden deed will be made public. The American Christians discover who was behind the assassinations of Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy.

Resurrected believers in the gallery will see everyone who lived on the earth with us. All the actions of family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and random people at the store will be revealed.

Many of them will turn around and look at us in the audience and scream out, “Why didn’t you tell me about Jesus? Why didn’t you tell me about the Great White Throne Judgment?” They will curse us and tell Jesus that it’s not fair we get to go to heaven after failing to warn people about the looming peril they will face. Join me this coming Sunday as we examine a self-inflicted tragedy and what it means for you and me.

Print out the sermon outline and let's examine the Scriptures together Sunday morning at 9:00 AM PST.

Yours in Christ,

Pastor John S. Torell
