The White Throne Judgments: Not As Many Thought (Vol. 2)

Bible Texts (Concordant Version of the Old Testament and Concordant Literal New Testament with keywords Concordance-CLNT (Isaiah 46:9-10; Romans 9:19-23; Revelation 20:11-15)

"Remember the former things from the eon. For I am Elohim! and no other like Me!. Telling from the beginning, the hereafter, And from aforetime what has not yet been done. Saying, All My counsel, it shall be confirmed, And all My desire shall I do" (Isaiah 46:9-10).

"...And I perceived the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne. And scrolls were opened. And another scroll was opened which is the scroll of life. And the dead were judged by which is written in the scrolls in accord with their acts" (Revelation 20:12).

Last week's blog introduced you to understand how many people perceive the white throne judgments. However, this week's blog will help you to see how the day might look like according to the scriptures. Irrespective of what many religious people may perceive this day; the scriptures cannot be annulled (John 10:35). Please, put all sentiments away and focus on the scriptures alone. Yahweh's ways are not our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). Nothing shall separate us from the love of Yahweh in Christ (Romans 8:35-39). Those of you may have already concluded that your family members whom you love so dearly would be missed because they did not accept Yeshua (Jesus Christ) as their lord and savior, but you did, they would burn in "hell fire" and remain there forever. The scriptures did not say so. This might be the messages you were told by many preachers. Unfortunately, these preachers do not fully understand what scriptures says about this event. How Yahweh handles the affairs of humanity is not revealed to them yet despite the fact that the preach about it.  Remember that Yahweh is the producer, the writer and the planner and the director of the lives of all humanities. We are not created by accident or by chance. We are actors and actress in Yahweh's pasture called planet earth. We cannot change his plan for our lives. We act his plans whether we are aware of it or not. 

Here are some of the truths for you to hold dear to your hearts this week:

1.  Isaiah 46:9-10 explains that there is no one like Yahweh, the maker of Heavens and Earth. Why? It is because he tells the end from the beginning. He tells from the aforetime what has not happened. He is so bold to say that all his counsel shall be confirmed. As a matter of fact, he would fulfill all his desires. This means "your freewill is nothing if your will is not in his will".

2.  The question now is what are his counsels and his desires? His counsels are his will. His desires are his intentions. These two may appear to be the same but they are not. His counsels are his will, his laws and his instructions. Let me give you a couple of his counsels and his desires.

3.  Romans 9:13-23 explains the sovereignty of Yahweh. In this scripture, the deeds of Yahweh surpassed any human intellectuals. He loves Jacob and hates Esau before these twins were born. His will was to make Esau serve Jacob. His intention was to give Jacob the blessings of Abraham. However, Jacob cheated Esau, and he appeared to be a wicked man. In relative sense, he was. However, in absolute sense, it was the desire of Yahweh for Jacob to get Esau's blessings to fulfill Yahweh's will. This may appear complicated, but it is not. He made Pharaoh a wicked and impervious being but made Moses the savior of the Israelites as he performed signs and wonders through Moses surpassed Pharaoh and his almighty diviners, magicians and sorcerers. The book of Exodus recorded that Yahweh intentionally hardened the heart of Pharaoh to detain the Israelites for Yahweh to show himself mightily against the arrogance of the king of Egypt. The will of Yahweh was to let the Israelites leave Egypt, but his desire was to show his power over the arrogance of the Egyptians.

4.  So, concerning the white throne judgments, you would have concluded that Pharaoh should be judged as guilty. That is how it may appear because of his role in relative sense. However, in absolute sense, it would different. Why? The reason is obvious. It was Yahweh's desire to make pharaoh perform the role of a wicked person on earth. While Pharaoh may be judged as guilty per his work done on earth, Yahweh will not condemn him completely. He would be in the lake of fire and die second death (Revelation 20:14-15). The same thing would happen to all those who did evil on earth. The names of those who did good would be found in the book of life. They would escape second death. The second death is just like the first death. The first death was described as sleep in Ecclesiastes 9:5; John 11:11; Isaiah 38:18-19 and Psalm 115:17 among other scripture verses. Therefore, people will not cry, wail and regret in the lake of fire unlike what you may have been told in many places of worship.

5.  You may be wondering why Yahweh would not let people whose names will not be found in the book of life be wailing and crying in the lake of fire. My response to this is that he already knew what these people would do on earth before they were born. He had purposed them to do evil to fulfill his plan on the earth. Without Pharaoh, we may not know how powerful Yahweh is with his wonders through Moses in the land of Egypt. In Yahweh we are living and moving (Acts 17:28). So, people will be judged according to what they did. Not according to whether they accepted Christ into their lives nor not. The work of salvation through Christ had been fully paid (John 19:30). This is why nothing will separate anyone from the love of Yahweh through Christ. Those who will be cast into the lake of fire are not separated from Yahweh forever but for eons of eons. It is timely. This is good news! I'd like to talk more on this next week. Please, relax your mind on this sensitive topic.

                                                         

Surely color of skin will not make a difference on that day.

I hope you can see that nothing happens without Yahweh's knowledge. Most people do say this, but they do not understand fully. Dear reader, Yahweh tells things before they happen. He creates the good and the bad from the same clay (Romans 9:21). He created good and evil, light and dark (Isaiah 45:7). Nobody can withstand the will of Yahweh (Romans 9:19). It is my hope that this week's blog takes away sadness, worry, fear and anxiety anyone may have about the white throne judgments. In case you still have questions, please, feel free to put them in the comment section below. I appreciate all your comments as well. Thanks for your words of encouragements and prayers.

Next week, I hope to discuss briefly on death and life after white throne judgments. You do not want to miss this too!

 

Shalom!
