Judgement Day, Hell And The Lake Of Fire

Hello World:
Okay I have a lot of scriptures to present today. The scriptures have enough words, to the point that I believe I will have a follow-up post on this subject after this post, to continue to explain what God wants me to say. I also need to repeat again the scriptures from Revelation Chapter 20 on the great white throne of judgement, that referenced a few posts back.

2 Corinthians Chapter 5: Verse 9; "Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him."

Verse 10; "For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad."

St. Luke Chapter 14: Verse 12; "Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbors; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee."

13) "But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:"

14) "And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just."

15) "And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God."

Revelation Chapter 19: Verse 20; "And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with fire and brimstone."

Revelation Chapter 20: Verse 4; "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgement was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshiped the beast, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their right hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years."

Verse 10; "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and false prophets are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."

Verse 11; "And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them."

12) "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."

13) "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works."

14) "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death."

15) "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."

There are several things going on with those above scriptures. The first couple of scriptures above, from 2 Corinthians Chapter 5 mentions or refers to what is called the judgement seat of Christ. The second group of scriptures from St. Luke Chapter 14, God led me to place in here for several reasons. Specifically, at verse 14 of St. Luke, there is a reference to the judgement seat of Christ, when Jesus talks about recompense at the resurrection of the just.

To be recompensed means to be payed or repayed or rewarded for something done previous. Also, those surrounding scriptures, especially at verse 15 of St. Luke, are synonymous to the FUTURE event or celebration of believers with God, up in Heaven, known as the Marriage Supper or Marriage Feast of the Lamb. The supper or feast is a future event, in relation to the time of this post.

In regards to the judgement seat of Christ again, the judgement seat of Christ is a judgement for born-again believers in Christ for their works for God or for their lack of works.

The judgement seat of Christ is not to determine salvation or everlasting life, as the born-again believer already has attained that long before the judgement seat of Christ. As I mentioned in a earlier post, the judgement seat of Christ is a DIFFERENT EVENT AND SEPERATE from the event of the great white throne of judgement. There are, however, some believers who will miss the judgement seat of Christ; and yes, that will be a problem for some believers.

The second groups of scriptures above, from the book of Revelation Chapters 19 and 20, refer to the great white throne of judgement or Judgement Day. So, from here what I want to do is return and mention some quick points about those events in the next post.
