LESSON 1 * PART 3 * BOOK 51
Hebrews 9:15 – 10:1a
They’ve been cast into the deepest sea. Well you never do. Hebrews 9:27
judgment."
Nobody’s going to escape judgment except who? The believers. We’re not going to die. Paul says it. Let’s look at that in I Corinthians chapter 15 verse 51. I Corinthians 15:51a
Now right there is the answer to most people’s problems. All right, read on.
I Corinthians 15:51
Now verse 52, how?
Now I get people who try to tell me, "Well this is the last trumpet in Revelation." This trumpet is singular. God Himself!"
"…for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, (it’d be the dead in Christ) and we shall be changed."
We not going to die and be raised from the dead. I Corinthians 15:53
Now let’s come back to Hebrews chapter 9 – Paul’s reference of death and judgment is not a reference to the believer, but rather to the unbeliever. And remember that’s the vast majority of people.
Hebrews 9:27
"And as it is appointed unto men once to die (physically. They’re going to go through death and after death, now what happens?) Come back with me to John’s Gospel chapter 5, beginning with verse 28. John 5:28
Everybody that has lived a physical life and died) shall hear his voice."
God’s voice. And when God speaks, they’ll come forth from their place – as lost people and the saved. Verse 29:
John 5:29
"And shall come forth; (now here God separates them,) they who have done good (in other words, people of faith, that’s the only good that a man can do is have faith in what God has said) unto the resurrection of life; (Eternal life. Into God’s presence. The lost have remained in unbelief. They’ve never exercised faith. "Condemnation." Horrible thought. Before the Righteous Judge. Revelation 20:11-12a
The dead of humanity) small and great, (the great emperors, the great politicians, the corporate CEO’s, all of them, small and great, and they’re going to be resurrected to) stand before God;"
Jesus Christ is going to be the Judge. The Righteous Judge. Revelation 20:12b
"…and the books (plural, see?) were opened: and another book (singular) was opened, which is the book of life: (to show the lost that their name was not in that book) and the dead(lost) were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."
So the dead were judged out those things which were written in the books (plural) according to their works. God’s record. Good people who have never done anything vile. They’ve never done anything, what we would call wicked or sinful, but they’ve never become partakers of Paul’s Gospel of I Corinthians 15:1-4 and Romans 10:9-10 and 13. It’s unbelief. Come back with me to Matthew chapter 10, and again in chapter 11. But let’s start in chapter 10 of Matthew. Matthew 10:15
Matthew 10:16
Jewish cities. Chorazin. Bethsaida. Capernaum is also mentioned in verse 23. Matthew 11:20-22
21. Woe unto thee Chorazin.! Woe unto thee, Bethsaida! (now these were all Jewish cities.) Now verse 23, Capernaum, once a beautiful city up there on the northern shores of the Sea of Galilee. Matthew 11:23
Jesus performed miracle after miracle in the city of Capernaum. God’s going to judge according to His merit scale, not humanity’s. The Great White Throne is going to be awful. Revelation 20:12b-13
"…and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. So don’t ever think for a minute that God won’t have time to judge every individual. Revelation 20:14a
"And death and hell (the abiding place of unbelievers since Cain) were cast into the lake of fire."
What is death? Death is a separation. Physical death is the separation of the soul and spirit from the physical body. Revelation 20:15
Let’s come back to Hebrews chapter 9, and verse 27 again.
Hebrews 9:27-28b
"And it is appointed unto men once to die (unless they become believers and they live to see the Rapture. But otherwise – death hits every human being sooner or later.) but after this the judgment: (in the Great White Throne) 28. So Christ was once (once, contrary to what so many people think) offered to bear the sins of many;…" The whole human race. I know I probably shook a few people up. When Christ died and finished the work of the Cross, how many sins of the world did He forgive? Everybody’s! The Atoning Blood had covered his sin. They’ve already been reconciled to God. Come back with me to II Corinthians chapter 5, and let’s drop in at verse 14:
II Corinthians 5:14
"For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, (or conclude) that if one died for (how many?) Now the next verse,
II Corinthians 5:15
all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again."
