THE 5 GREAT JUDGMENTS [continued from last week]

Pastor Rick Jackson

Note-[if you look back to last week you see the first and last points here are IV. & V. from last week but expanded for clarification, the 2nd point here is clearly stated not to be one of the 5 Great Judgments but was given here for interest sake]

 

I. THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH [REV. 19:11-16, MT. 25:31-34]

More aptly called “the judgment on the Gentiles.” This determines who, of the Gentiles, will enter the millennium in their natural bodies for 1000 years of peace on Earth.

1. The Time of the Judgment- after Israel’s Judgment & Before the Millennium [Joel 3:1-2, Mt. 25:34]

 

2. The Place of the Judgment- the valley of Jehoshaphat (Jehovah Judges) [Joel 3:2, Zech. 14:4]

 

3. The Subjects of the Judgment [Mt. 25:32 nations= ethnos, a race, specially, a foreign (non-Jewish) one --Gentile, heathen, nation, people.

 

4. The Basis & Results of the Judgment [Mt. 25:40, 45, Joel 3:2, Rev. 7:9-17

Saved or Lost by choice- what did they choose to do with Christ?  Mt. 24:14-15, 25:46, 31-33]

Lost by Choice, Condemned by Actions [v. 41-46]

2. The Subjects of the Judgment [2 Pet. 2:4, Jude 6, 1 Corinthians 6:3]

 

3. The Basis & Result of the Judgment [Ez. 28:12-19, Rev. 12:3-4, 20:10]
