Or you see something different?How do you see resurrection and reckoning on the judgement day?
All will get what they deserve. God is just.
It is God's big Courtroom where nothing will be hidden.
Our own lives will be the witness for us or against us.
Except for the 144,000 that are in the first resurrection. For them, they were judged in this life and the second death will have no power over them. They will be with Christ at his soon return and rule with him. They are the first fruits.
The final harvest (the rest of mankind) will be at the Great White Throne.How do you see resurrection and reckoning on the judgement day?
God created the cosmos and infinite past and future physical time from His focus point of free willed, love for God capable, man. God cannot force love for God into existance. Love, by its very nature, must be freely given from one being to another. One cannot love without the option to choose not to love. Producing free willed love for God is man's purpose in life on earth. One cannot choose to love God in heaven because the option to choose not to love or to hate cannot exist in heaven. Love for God has to be produced in the garden of free will on earth.
Love is greater than man's physical and spiritual life, otherwise God would not have allowed free will through which both love and hatred, sin and damnation flow. So what to do with the "weeds" which are the followers of Satan who produce no love for God and only the discusting byproduct of hate for God through sin? If you put the "weeds", which are the nonrepentant evil doers who produce no love for God, in heaven, then you might as well have taken rocks, trees or cows and converted them into knowledgeable saints in heaven. At least in this way you do not have the nasty byproduct of those who hate God, the "weeds", in heaven.
What happens is God takes the repentant who strove to love Him with all their hearts under free will on earth and He builds His eternal Kingdom of God out of them, through the blood of Jesus. God hurls the non-repentant God haters into hell because their is no value in them. They only bring pain to God's heart.
So it is more a situation that nonrepentant hell goers are a nasty byproduct in the garden of free will that God put on earth in hopes of producing love for God. Jesus tells us just how it will be on Judgement Day. He will gather the wheat, which are the repentant who strive to love God with all their hearts into heaven. Jesus will cast the worthless unrepentant God hater weeds into hell. Jesus compares judgement day to a logical agricultural process.
It would be smarter to make saints out of rocks and trees which never hated God through sin in heaven than to put the nasty by poduct of unrepentant, non love producing, "weeds", who have produced nothing but hatred for God, into heaven. Jesus tells us it will be those who repent to produce the fruit of love for God through obedience to God with all their hearts whom He will harvest into heaven. Jesus tells us that He will hurl the weeds who produce no love for God and only hatred through sin, for God, into hell.
NIV 1JO 5:3
This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome.
NIV JOH 14:15
"If you love me, you will obey what I command."
NAB MAT 13:36
Then, dismissing the crowds, he went into the house. His disciples approached him and said, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field." He said in reply, "He who sows good seed is the Son of Man, the field is the world, the good seed the children of the kingdom. The weeds are the children of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. Just as weeds are collected and burned (up) with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his kingdom all who cause others to sin and all evildoers. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears ought to hear."
NAB MAT 13:47-50
The reign of God is also like a dragnet thrown into the lake, which collected all sorts of things. When it was full they hauled it ashore and sat down to put what was worthwhile into containers. What was useless they threw away. That is how it will be at the end of the world. Angels will go out and separate the wicked from the just and hurl the wicked into the fiery furnace, where they will wail and grind their teeth.
NAB MAT 12:33
"Either declare the tree good and its fruit is good, or declare the tree rotten and its fruit is rotten, for a tree is known by its fruit. You brood of vipers, how can you say good things when you are evil? For from the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks. A good person brings forth good out of a store of goodness, but an evil person brings forth evil out of a store of evil. I tell you, on the day of judgment people will render an account for every careless word they speak. By your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."
NAB LUK 3:17-18
His winnowing-fan is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and gather the wheat into his barn; but the chaff he will burn in unquenchable fire. Using exhortation of this sort, he preached the good news to the people.
NAB MAT 25:41
Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and
I will be in my gingerbread castle in the enchanted forest, protected by my army of pixie soldiers and my Acme Deity Away, (pat pending) god and goddess deflecting force field, (only $99.99).How do you see resurrection and reckoning on the judgement day?
I see it as a fantasy which exists only in the minds of the delusional.
As not happening.
Everyone will end up where they should be.
I think that this would make a good argument for the death penalty..
