Podcasts about great white throne

The Final Judgment. In our system of justice, we officially don't know whether you're guilty or innocent, until after the trial and verdict. And sometimes we don't really know whether you're guilty or innocent, even after that! In God's system, those who are righteous by faith have already been judged in our Representative. There's another trial awaiting those who are trusting in their own merits. It's the last thing that happens before God remakes the world: the Great White Throne judgment.

Is expecting a “heavenly reward” the same thing as the prosperity gospel?In this episode of the podcast, we explore what the Bible says about heavenly rewards and why living with an eternal perspective changes everything.When life is hard, obedience feels costly, and your faith goes unnoticed—God sees it all. The pain you endure and the faithfulness you choose are not wasted. There is a purpose beyond the temporary, and Scripture promises that eternal rewards in heaven are waiting for those who don't give up.If you've ever wondered, “Is it worth following Jesus?” or “Does God reward us for staying faithful?”—this episode will encourage you to live for what matters most.

End Times Prophecy: Judgment at the Great White Throne Revelation 20:7-15

In this week's message, Pastor Tom unpacks James 2:12–13, reminding us of the certainty of coming judgment—and the triumphant power of mercy. Drawing from both the Great White Throne and the Judgment Seat of Christ, he explores what it means to live in view of eternity. We're called not only to receive God's mercy through Christ but to do mercy—actively showing compassion to others. Judgment is real, but mercy triumphs. Pastor Tom invites us to live faithfully under the law that gives freedom, reflecting Christ's love in action.

Send us a textWhat happens when we die? More importantly, what happens after that? These questions lie at the heart of Christian theology, yet misconceptions abound even among devoted believers. Diving deep into passages like John 5:25-29, we uncover the biblical teaching on resurrection—both spiritual and physical. The spiritual resurrection happens now when dead souls come alive through faith in Christ. This "first resurrection" is our regeneration, protecting us from the second death. But there's also a future bodily resurrection where all humanity will stand before one throne.Many have been taught that Christians will be raptured in a separate resurrection event, with unbelievers facing judgment 1,000+ years later. Scripture tells a different story. From Daniel 12:2 to Acts 24:15, the Bible consistently describes one general resurrection where both righteous and unrighteous rise together—but with dramatically different outcomes.The Great White Throne judgment isn't a separate event from the Bema Seat of Christ—they're the same judgment viewed from different perspectives. Like at Pentecost where some heard clear gospel proclamation while others heard only "babbling," judgment day will be experienced differently depending on which side you're on.Perhaps most sobering is the truth about eternal separation. Biblical "death" never means non-existence—it means separation. Just as physical death separates body and soul temporarily, eternal death means permanent separation from God's goodness while continuing to exist forever. There's no annihilation, no eventual reprieve, not even a moment's respite from divine judgment.These aren't abstract theological concepts but urgent realities that should provoke us to action. Christ's resurrection guarantees our own—either to glory or condemnation. Which will it be for you?Support the show

The most sober of all passages in the Bible, detailing final judgment before God's great, white throne.

This message explores the final judgment at the Great White Throne. Pastor Byron explains the difference between the judgment of believers and the judgment of the lost, emphasizing that those not found in the Book of Life will face eternal separation from God in the lake of fire. This sermon urges every listener to examine their standing before God, highlighting the urgency of salvation through Jesus Christ and the eternal consequences of rejecting Him.

Series: The Revelation of Jesus Christ. Scripture: Revelation 20:11-15 Speaker: Matt Thornton, Pastor. Date: April 20, 2025

The image of a throne is explicitly political in Revelation. It reflects the Roman Imperial Court. The first century Jesus followers knew something about standing before this throne for not participating in emperor worship. John subverts the image and reverses the roles. He portrays a judgment without partiality. This time it is all about actions.

The book of Revelation unveils the full deity and sovereignty of our Lord God almighty in vivid detail. A right understanding of this apocalypse, prophecy and pastoral letter had the power in the first century to encourage and undergird the young church to persevere through intense persecution while simultaneously enlivening complacent and apathetic believers to join in the mission. Revelation still possesses the same authority and strength today. The Lord is on the throne and in full control even when it seems evil is winning. The book of Revelation emphatically reassures us believers that things are not as they appear. Please join us and be encourage through this study of the Revelation of Jesus Christ.  ———————— This week, Pastor Jeff continues a series in the book of Revelation. The next message in the series comes from Revelation 20:11-15 and is entitled "The Great White Throne." The main idea of the sermon is: Only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life will pass through judgment. ————————  Connect with Us: Website: parkwoodonline.org Facebook: facebook.com/parkwoodonline Instagram: instagram.com/parkwoodonline.org  Check out more resources and sermons online at: parkwoodresources.org

April 13, 2025 Pastor Nathan Lee Revelation 20:7-15

Pontius Pilate knew Jesus was innocent, yet he chose to placate the people rather than release Him. But the courage he lacked, you can show today. Notes: Focus verses - John 18, 19 By definition, a coward is someone who lacks the courage to face difficult or painful things. Pontius Pilate saw an angry crowd that threatened his position.He was more afraid of the consequences than he was of God. #1 The Prefect Meets the PerfectJohn 18:28-38 Jesus, the PERFECT Son of God stands before Pontius Pilate, the Roman appointed PREFECT Governor of Judea. Prefect Governor means he was a military focused governor. The religious leaders knew exactly what they were doing when they brought Jesus to Pilate. The man known for using power harshly becomes hesitant and weak when confronted by Jesus. “What is truth?” Jesus was the incarnation of truth. Read verse 37.Jesus came to bring truth. Truth divides. Like Pilate, we all must make a decision regarding Jesus. Neutrality is not an option. Pilate attempts to appeal to the crowd logically, in an attempt to get Jesus released. #2 Pilate BlinksJohn 18:39-19:6 Just like Neville Chamberlain blinked in the face of tyranny, Pilate blinks in the face of Truth. He knows Jesus is innocent.But instead of releasing Jesus, he tries to placate the people. Pilate offers the crowd a choice: Jesus or Barabbas. No better picture of the gospel than this right here. The cross Barabbas was to die on was already constructed, the arrangements were made, and he had hours left to live. Barabbas was guilty, but Jesus was innocent. This is what Jesus has done for us.We’ve committed a crime by violating God’s commands, we’re guilty, and the penalty is death. But God made a way for us to be delivered out of death, out of our guilt, and that’s what Jesus ultimately did on the cross. 2 Corinthians 5:21 Jesus took Barabbas’ place on that cross. The crowd chooses Barabbas. Pilate didn’t need any Passover custom to release an innocent man, he just needed to do what was right. When the crowd decided against Jesus, he thought he might have one more trick up his sleeve. He released Barabbas, and scourged Jesus in hopes it'd satisfy the angry crowd. Pilate brought Jesus out one final time. He thought that if he give the crowd a little bit of what they want they’ll be happy, they’ll change their minds, they’ll reverse course.Pilate blinked. He thought he could use diplomacy and compromise to get himself out of a difficult position. Compromise doesn’t calm the mob, it fuels it. Compromise is part of life.But when it comes to THE Truth, when it comes to Christ, compromise should not be part of the equation. To compromise on who Jesus is, is to invent another Jesus. Only the real Jesus saves. Pilate’s appeasement of the crowd is not just a political failure—it’s a picture of what happens when leaders, Christians, and even churches try to compromise truth to satisfy the demands of culture. If you play both sides, offering a little truth, softened by a lot of concession and mix in some human empathy, and you end up with the crucifixion. A complete and utter rejection of everything Jesus is and was. We cannot untether EMPATHY from TRUTH. Just because someone feels a certain way does not mean we abandon truth. As Christians we are called to offer COMPASSION not COMPROMISE. Let’s bring this message to a close now. Read John 19:12–16 #3 Pilate judged the Judge. Pilate crucifies Him.The fear of man outweighed the fear of God. Jesus threatened to disrupt Pilate’s cushy role, and so he gave in to peer pressure and he judged the Judge. In Revelation 20 at the Great White Throne judgement, the judged will face the Judge. Pilate symbolically washed his hands of Jesus.But you cannot wash yourself of your sins. You either receive Him or reject Him. “You are either for me or against me.” Have you trusted Jesus as Savior and made Him the Lord of your life? The courage that Pilate lacked, you can show today. Jesus said "Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven" (Matthew 10:32 NLT) We are just like Barabbas.Guilty and headed for judgement.But Jesus came in, not accidentally, but intentionally and took that punishment we deserved and He died on a cross for our sin. Like those soldiers around Jack Lucas, he dove on those grenades and absorbed their destruction, that’s what Jesus did for us!He absorbed God’s righteous judgement and drank the cup of His wrath that was going to be poured out on us because of our spiritual rebellion against God. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

By Pastor Mike Vanderpool On Sunday Evening Nov. 24, 2024

Friday, 22 November 2024   “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. Matthew 5:17   “You, deem not that I came to disintegrate the law or the prophets. Not, I came to disintegrate but to fulfill” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus told the disciples to radiate their good works in order to glorify their Father in heaven. Now, He brings up words that are so misquoted and misapplied within the church that entire cults have used them to justify the unjustifiable. He begins with, “You, deem not that I came to disintegrate the law or the prophets.”   First, Jesus' words are to the people of Israel, to whom the law was given. No other people on the planet were given the Law of Moses. The law was not binding on any other people in the past, and it is not binding on any other people today. The context is Jesus, speaking under the law and to the people of Israel. Nobody else.   To remove this context is to form a pretext. It is unsound. Jesus is telling Israel that they should not perceive that His mission was to destroy the law or the prophets. That was not His mission, and nobody was to accuse Him of conducting His ministry otherwise. He was born under the law, and He had no design or intent to set aside Moses in His ministry.   But some may accuse Him of such, saying He was disobedient to Moses. No! He exclaims. That was not His mission at all. Because of these words, Judaizers, such as in Paul's time, and a myriad of cults in our time, such as the Hebrew Roots movement, seize on His words and avow that everybody must adhere to the Law of Moses. He lived under it, and so we are obligated to it too.   From there, they will take the words of the coming verse and build upon their terrible theology with those words as well. For now, it is absolutely certain that Jesus did not come to disintegrate the Law and the Prophets. He has clearly avowed that. However, He doesn't stop there. He next says, “Not, I came to disintegrate but to fulfill.”   You can't stop with half a verse and expect your theology to be complete and proper. Jesus did not come to disintegrate the law. The law is binding on Israel as much today as it was when Moses gave it to them at the foot of Mount Sinai.   However, Jesus' mission was to fulfill it for those who trust in Him, thus setting it aside and offering them His grace in place of it. And fulfill it, He did –   “So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, ‘It is finished!' And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.” John 19:30   Jesus fulfilled the law, finishing the task set before Him. Paul speaks of this as well –   “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.” Romans 8:1-4   Paul is writing to both Jews and Gentiles, telling them that the law's requirements are fulfilled in Christ and they are set aside in Christ. This is explained, explicitly, many times in the New Testament epistles –   “For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, 15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, 16 and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity.” Ephesians 2:14-16   Paul says the law is abolished through the cross for both Jews and Gentiles. He repeats this again in Colossians 2, using Christ's physical body as a metaphor for the law –   “And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.” Colossians 2:13, 14   The author of Hebrews says that the law is annulled –   “For on the one hand there is an annulling of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness, 19 for the law made nothing perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.” Hebrews 7:18, 19   The “former commandment” refers to the Law of Moses. The “better hope” is the fulfillment of the law by Jesus. He also says the law is abolished –   “In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.” Hebrews 8:13   The words “ready to vanish away” refer to the time when Israel calls to the Lord, receiving the grace of Jesus Christ. At that time, they will no longer observe the law. He also says –   “Previously saying, ‘Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them' (which are offered according to the law), 9 then He said, ‘Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.' He takes away the first that He may establish the second. 10 By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” Hebrews 10:8-10   The sacrifices of the Old Covenant were ineffectual to bring man near to God. Jesus, not coming to disintegrate the law but fulfill it, did this in accord with the will of God. In His accomplishment of that, the law is “taken away,” and the New Covenant is introduced for all who will come to Him through faith, being sanctified once and forever by the precious blood (meaning the life) of Jesus Christ.   Life application: Context matters. Know your Bible through and through. Properly divide what is being said. Attempting to earn God's favor through law observance is to set aside the grace of the cross – “Thanks God, I know you tried, but I will get this.”   It is a proverbial slap in God's face, and you will find yourself condemned when you stand before Him at the Great White Throne. All that effort... for nothing. Come to Jesus and be saved, once and forever. All His effort... for all things!   Heavenly Father, help us not to think more of ourselves and our deeds than we should. Christ did it all. Now, may our lives being lived for Him be a pleasing and acceptable offering back to You for what You have done through Him. May we never set aside the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Do we hear enough about the Judgment Seat of Christ where every Christian must give an account of how his or her life was used? Some theologies dismiss this judgment altogether seeing only one judgment called The Great White Throne. This results in salvation by works because that is the criteria for the GWT judgment. Even in churches and with preachers who believe in the JSOC, this event is not taught much. Maybe as a consequence many Christians live carelessly not knowing or caring that they will be held accountable by Christ. Charlie sits down with Dr. Paul Weaver to discuss this issue from Charlie's GraceNotes no. 105. This podcast is a re-broadcast of Dr. Weaver's Bible and Theology Matters podcast and YouTUbe video. The JSOC is for believers only; the GWT is for unbelievers only. It is crucial that Christians keep an accurate and applicable view of the Judgment Seat of Christ.   Dr. Weaver served with Word of Life as dean in their Bible Institutes in Hungary and New York before becoming an Associate Professor of Bible Exposition at Dallas Theological Seminary.

Wednesday, 13 November 2024   Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God. Matthew 5:8   “Blessed – the pure of heart, For they – God they will see” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus referred to the compassionate, noting that they will be compassionated. Next, He turns to the first verse I ever memorized. It was on a refrigerator magnate, and I was probably about five. It begins with, “Blessed – the pure of heart.”   Jesus is probably referring to a Psalm of David where this thought is presented as ascending to the temple –   “Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? 4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully.” Psalm 24:3, 4   However, the psalm doesn't explain how the heart is pure. Nor does Jesus address it now in the Beatitudes. This is the first use of kardia, heart, in the New Testament. One can immediately see the etymological root of our modern words such as cardiology, cardiac arrest, etc. But what is this referring to? HELPS Word Studies is a big help for our understanding –   “kardía – heart; ‘the affective center of our being' and the capacity of moral preference ... ‘desire-producer that makes us tick' ... i.e. our ‘desire-decisions' that establish who we really are. ... [it] is mentioned over 800 times in Scripture, but never referring to the literal physical pump that drives the blood. That is, ‘heart' is only used figuratively (both in the OT and NT.]”   Moral preferences, then, give us a sense of the meaning. Are we morally geared towards the things of God or toward the things of the world? With that understood, how does one actually have his heart purified? The answer is, “To adjust our moral self to match what God expects of us.” However, more directly, the New Testament answer is, “Through faith.” That is seen several times in various ways –   “So God, who knows the heart, acknowledged them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He did to us, 9 and made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.” Acts 15:8, 9   “Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.” 2 Timothy 2:22   “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” James 4:8   In the last example, James is speaking to sinners. To become considered a non-sinner, one must come to God by faith. Only in Him is sin not imputed (2 Corinthians 5:19). When this occurs, our sins are no longer counted against us. Of those who have come to God by faith through Christ, Jesus next says, “For they – God they will see.”   God is Spirit. We will never actually “see” God. To see God in His fullness is not possible because He is infinite. The meaning of Jesus' words, however, is clearly defined by Paul in 2 Corinthians 4 –   “For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”   To behold Jesus is to behold God as He ceaselessly and eternally reveals Himself to us through Him. In Christ, Paul says elsewhere –   “For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.” Colossians 1:19 20   To see Jesus is to see the fullness of who God is because in Him dwells the fullness of God. Jesus is the means by which we can see, know, and more fully understand the Creator.   Life application: A couple of days before typing this commentary, the “pope” claimed that all religions are a path back to God. He does not ask any to come to Christ, he tells them that following their path to destruction is ok, and he makes a mockery of what Jesus endured to reconcile us to God.   Don't be led astray by false teachers and false prophets. If one person could come to God apart from Christ, it would render the purpose of the cross null and void. Jorge Mario Bergoglio will most likely have to stand before God at the Great White Throne, give an account for his faithlessness, and then be eternally consigned to the Lake of Fire because he lacks the faith to have his wicked heart purified.   Status, wealth, position, or fame will not get you to heaven. Only faith in Jesus Christ and His accomplished work will do so.   Lord God, thank You for Jesus Christ our Lord who makes access to heaven possible through His shed blood. We glorify You for what You have done through the giving of Your Son. Now, with hearts purified, we may see You because we see His face. Thank You, O God, for Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

There's coming a time when the unbeliever will stand before Jesus and judged once and for all. If their name is not found in the book of life they'll be cast into the lake of fire. While it's not pleasant to even think about, it is a reality for all too many, and something we must discuss. The stakes are high. Today on Light on the Hill we'll take you to the end of Revelation chapter twenty and read about this great white throne judgement.

From Ed Mabrie of Faith By Reason YouTube Faith By Reason Website Faith By Reason on X Aug 16, 2024 There is a lot of eschatological "noise" on social media and alternative news about the so-called "Little Season" of Satan, and whether or not we are currently in it. The Little Season theory essentially states that we are in a Post-Millennial period between the 1000-year Kingdon of Jesus and the Great White Throne of Judgement. Revelation chapter 20 states that after the Armageddon scenario, Satan is imprisoned for the 1000-year Millenial reign of Jesus. After which, he is released for a "little season" to gather the nations to overthrow Jesus in Jerusalem. According to this theory, we are in that season right now! This means that the rapture, the Tribulation, Armageddon, the Second Coming of Jesus, and the 1000-year Kingdom have ALREADY HAPPENED!! The proof point promoted by people who espouse this theory is the advanced "Tartarian" architecture that we see remnants of around the world. This apparently speaks to an advanced civilization with extraordinary technological know-how that vanished no more than a few hundred years ago. According to them, this abandoned technology proves that Jesus ruled over an advanced society in the recent past (and then He apparently just abandoned it...and us). But does the Little Season and Tartaria fit Biblically, historically, and logically? The answer is a resounding NO! A mere cursory examination of this theory shows that it is utterly ludicrous! So why is it being promoted so vigorously? I was puzzled by this until I noticed that the promoters of this theory, tended to also hold to another long-held and equally poor eschatological theology. And the Little Season is their latest attempt to justify their bankrupt beliefs.

10-6-24 Biblical-Literacy Mark completed A Study of Revelation with a focus on The Great News in Revelation 22.  This final lesson closed out the study of Apocalyptic Literature and recapped the 7 vignettes each covering a segment of the age of the church to the 2nd coming. Mark revisited the 7th vignette acknowledging varied interpretations of the millennium, the binding of Satan, and Jesus' 2nd coming where He will judge all humanity on the Great White Throne and create a new heaven and a new earth. Points for Home: 1. Revelation speaks to us. 2. Live in Faith. 3. What a great ending. Listen to Mark read Revelation 22 with insight and wisdom concluding with “Surely I  am coming soon.” Amen.  Come, Lord Jesus! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.  Amen

We have the free will to make our own choices in life. These choices set the path for our earthly existence and, ultimately, our eternal existence. But there is a coming day when we will stand at the great white throne of God and deal with the consequences of the most important choice we had to make on earth. Jill talks through several verses in the Bible explaining the ramifications of the decision to trust Jesus Christ as our Savior, or not. This message includes Jill reading her poem, Judge Jesus.
