And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; FOR THE HOUR OF HIS JUDGMENT IS COME: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.( Revelation 14:16-7And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come:and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. )
Many people think that God’s judgment hasn’t started and it will start when Jesus appears in glory. Many people think God will assemble all people before Him, when Jesus return, and open “registers” to call names and judge everyone called one by one. Unfortunately these teachings are not from the Bible. They are not from God and it has no biblical basis. Jesus is only bringing humans reward when He returns. ( Revelation 22:12 ). It’s either you are saved or lost based on your own daily choices but not by the arbitrary of God, for God is just and faithful.
Therefore when did the judgment of God started?
Answer: It started some years ago, in the year 22nd October 1844.
The judgment of God has started and the first angel in the three angels messages started proclaiming this warning since 1844 that, “Fear God and give him glory for the hour of his judgment has come.”
THE TRUTH
Jesus is in the most holy place in heaven sanctuary now doing a ministering work as our high priest. “Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And having an high priest over the house of God; Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:”( Hebrews 10:19-24–Hebrews 10:19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 10:20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 10:21 And having an high priest over the house of God; 10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: )
The investigative judgment of professed people of God has started in heaven since october 1844 and it will end very soon when Micheal(Jesus) stands up to redeem His faithful children. ( Daniel 12:1–Daniel 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. ) ( Revelation 22:12–Revelation 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. )
Whose life and cases are in the heavenly court now?
Answer: Every person who has “ever” professed to be a christian. All those who professed to receive Christ into their heart are having their case(accounts) in the heavenly court now.
The accounts of the dead are being investigated now and it is fairly, equally and carefully examined without skipping any of the person’s daily life choices. Every action we are doing here are recorded by our guardian angels. Every blessed day, our life choices and lives are recorded.
All of us(professed Christians), cases are in the heavenly court. “I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.” ( Daniel 7:9-10–Daniel 7:9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. 7:10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. )
The ancient of days is God-the Father. He is the Supreme Judge. The thousands and ten thousands standing before Him is not referring to humans but angels. The witnesses to the judgment are angels and the inhabitants of the other worlds. They are all witnessing the fairly and carefully examined records of our lives we are living. The books that were opened refers to the records and life actions of professed christians. Every single deed is brought before God, even your thoughts are recorded in the book and they are carefully examined.
“I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.” ( Daniel 7:13–Daniel 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. ). Jesus is also present in the judgement and He is our “lawyer” and advocate. He is the one that stands in for the true and obedient christian. With His blood, all the confessed sins of the christian is pardoned.( 1 John 1:9–1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness., John 1:29–John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world., 1 John 2:11 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: ) And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the father, jesus christ the righteous:( 1 John 2:11 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: )
Your case is pending in heavenly court now. It may be that your case is under examination now(or soon). Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who was speaking, “How long will the vision be, concerning the daily sacrifices and the transgression of desolation, the giving of both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled under foot?” And he said to me, “FOR TWO THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED DAYS; THEN THE SANCTUARY SHALL BE CLEANSED.” ( Daniel 8:13-14–Daniel 8:13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? 8:14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. )
The judgement is ongoing now and it will finish very soon when Jesus stands up and say “it is done”. All the ungodly and those who didn’t receive the true gospel of Christ will not be in this investigative judgment.
WHY?
Because they have passed from life to condemnation. Because they never believed in the Son of God and they never did what He commanded His true followers to do. Only those who professed to believe in the Son of God cases are brought under investigation now so that they might be passed onwards(or retained) into the book of life.
Therefore if you don’t believe in Jesus, the Son of God, then you shall be condemned with the fallen angels and Satan because these group judgment is different from professed Christians.
The investigative judgement of professed christians will continue till probation closes for this world. It will be over when Jesus say “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.” ( Revelation 22:11–Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. ) . “For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; The Lord knoweth how to deliver the Godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: ” ( 2 Peter 2:4-9 –2 Peter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 2:5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 2:6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; 2:7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 2:8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:)
Hell in this context means “they were cast out of God’s glory” but not literal hell. Hell will only come when Jesus descends new Jerusalem to Mount Olives( Revelation 20:9–Revelation 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. )
SOMEONE MAY ASK:If So, What Is The Great Day The Bible Refers To?
Answer:
In this context, it refers to the sinners who didn’t turn to Jesus for salvation. But for the people of God the coming of Jesus is their redemption. And for the sinners, their judgment has come.( Malachi 4:1-3–Malachi 4:1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. 4:3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts. ). By then, Jesus had already finished writing His faithful servants name in the book of life and the wicked will run away when jesus comes because their doom has come. ( Revelation 6:12-17 –Revelation 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?) And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? ” ( Revelation 6:12-17– Revelation 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? )
And to the righteous, their long awaited salvation has come at last! ( Revelation 14:12–Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. )
THE SAINTS WILL ALSO BE JUDGES IN HEAVEN
After Jesus comes and take His faithful people home, they are going to participate with God, in the judgement of the fallen angels(evil angels), Satan and those who lived ungodly life and those who didn’t believe in the Son of God.
And what is the standard of the judgment?
Answer:
It is the same ten commandments billions are trampling upon today thinking they are in safe hands. The ten commandments is the standard in the judgment. Do you see now the deception of Satan??? Leading many people to think that the law of liberty is abolished and its no more.
How Can There Be A Judgment Without A Law? The Law Of God Is The Standard Of The Judgment.
For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. For HE WHO SAID, “DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY,” also said, “Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. So speak and so do as those who WILL BE JUDGED BY THE LAW OF LIBERTY.” ( James 2:10-12James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 2:11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. 2:12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. )
We must start to ask God to forgive us of trampling His standard of judgment and seek His grace through His Son, Jesus so that we can be obedient to His standard of judgment.
THE TRUTH:
“And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” ( Revelation 20:15–Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. ).
The lake of fire is meant for Satan and the evil angels but because of humans disbelief and wilful ignorance, many humans shall perish with Satan.
Why?
Because: “The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.” ( Isaiah 1:3–Isaiah 1:3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider. )
“The wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” ( Genesis 6:5–Genesis 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. ).
All those who obeyed God and trusted in His grace by keeping His standard of judgment shall have their names retained in the book of life.
Oh how happy and victorious it will be to have your name in the book of life! Do you want your name to be in the book of life? Do you want Jesus to advocate and justify you in the judgment? Do you want to be part in the investigative judgment? Do you want Jesus to put God’s seal on you? Do you want to go to heaven, the kingdom of the Most High??
Then Believe and love Jesus by keeping the standard(law) of God’s judgment through His grace for this is the duty of all men if we want to be saved. Amen. ( Ecclesiastes 12:13-14–Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 12:14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. )
Jesus Is Coming Soon!!! Be Prepared…
EVEN SO LORD COME( Revelation 22:20 )
