The Second Coming of Christ: After seven years of tribulation on the whole world, Christ will return to earth with His church, to set up and rule His Kingdom for 1000 years. The Rapture: Christ will return in the atmosphere and will rapture or catch up to be with Him forever all those who believe in Him during the church age.ī. The timing of the Great White Throne Judgment is after the millennial reign of Christ but the timing the Judgment Seat of Christ is at the Resurrection/Rapture.When discussing the timing of the Rapture or the removal of the Church from the earth, it is important to understand the difference between the Rapture and the Second Coming of Christ:Ī. Who was judged? Only “the dead were judged”. Who are the one’s standing before the Great White Throne of God for judgment? Only “the dead” – those spiritually dead because they were not believers. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. 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. Rev 20:12 – 15 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. The Judgment seat of Christ is only spoken to and about Christians whereas the judgments at the Great White Throne (below) only speak about the lost. For we must all appear before the judgment 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.Īgain, Paul here is speaking to Christians only. Christians are the only ones to stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ.ĢCo 5:9, 10 Wherefore we labor, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.

Notice that Paul is talking to Christians here in the Book of Romans. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. Rom 14:10 – 11 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at naught thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. It will be a revealing of your heart and those things done in the flesh will be burned up but those things done in love will remain as your reward. Judgment for the Christian will be a time of reward in comparison to the judgment of the world which will be nothing but wrath. We, the Church, will never stand at the Great White Throne Judgment. The sinners only will stand before God the Father in condemnation before the Great White Throne Judgment spoken of in Revelation 20. There will be no sinners at the Judgment Seat of Christ – only Christians. It will not be a place of condemnation and punishment for sin. This will be a place in the Heavens where we will be given reward for the deeds done in our bodies (1 Cor 3:9-15). By Pastor Thomas Taylor MaEnd Time Biblical Prophecy Revealed By Thomas Taylor Part 7 – Christians In The Heavens Judgment Seat of ChristĪfter the Resurrection/Rapture (which happened during the Seventh Seal at the Seventh Trumpet right after the Great Tribulation), the Church will stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ.
