DOCTRINE OF TERMINAL JUDGMENTS

A. The judgment terminating spiritual death is a reference to the judgment of the cross, 1 Pet 2:24; 2 Cor 5:21. On the cross, the sins of the world were judged.

B. The judgment terminating temporal death refers to self-judgment of the believer known as the rebound technique, 1 Cor 11:31-32; 1 Pet 4:17; 1 Jn 1:9.

C. The judgment terminating human good refers to the Judgment Seat of Christ, 1 Cor 5:10. The royal family is brought before the throne of Christ to be evaluated. Human good is judged and burned, Rom 14:10; 1 Cor 3:11-16; 2 Cor 5:10; 2 Tim 2:12; Heb 6:7-12.

D. The judgment terminating unbelievers in the Tribulation, the baptism of fire occurs at the Second Advent when all unbelievers are taken off the earth. Jewish unbelievers, Ezek 20:34-38; Gentile unbelievers, Joel 3:11-12; Mt 25:31-46.

E. The judgment terminating the last human revolution is the Great White Throne judgment, Rev 20:12-15. All living and dead unbelievers are cast into the lake of fire forever.

F. The judgment terminating the angelic revolution refers to the judgment of fallen angels, Mt 25:41; Rev 20:10.

G. Each of these terminating judgments by God ends something begun by Satan which is evil.
