From Now to Eternity 12

listen: mp3

After the third battle of Armageddon, Satan will join the antichrist and false prophet in the Lake of Fire. This is also the final place for all those who did not accept Jesus.
*Jesus will take their bodies from the grave and souls from the Place of Torment and give them their eternal bodies.
*All lost people will meet Jesus at the Great White Throne (Rev. 20:11)
1. Great because people have rejected a great salvation
2. White because the judgment will be in righteousness

Where will the Great White Throne be?
*Not in the first two heavens because they will be fleeing away (Rev. 20:11).
*Not on earth because it will be fleeing away.
*Not in third heaven because the lost people will not be allowed there.
*It Could be set up on the stripped land of earth.
*It Could be set up where the Judgment Seat of Christ will be set up. (They could get a glimpse of what they missed).

All lost people will stand before Jesus at the Great White Throne. They will all be going to the Lake of Fire. The judgment will determine the degree of punishment. Jesus will use “books” and a “book.” (Rev. 20:12)
*Book of Life – a record of all the people who accepted Jesus and will spend eternity with Him
*Books – records of the lost person’s work on earth (Rev. 20:12). Jesus will determine the degree of punishment in the Lake of Fire.
1. Luke 12:47-48 Parable of the unfaithful servant. The lost person who has the most exposure or opportunity to be exposed to the gospel will suffer more.
2. Matt. 11:21-24 Jesus talking to the unbelieving towns.

What about the person who has not heard the gospel? (Rom. 1:20) John MacArthur says God shows Himself to people in creation and will make a way for them to hear the gospel if they will respond.

Rom. 20:15 – What are you doing to keep people out of the Lake of Fire?
