A. The good news of the judgment:

The judgment and the gospel.

• David had sinned and asked God to blot out his transgression (Psalm 51:1

  KJV 1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

  CEV (For the music leader. A psalm by David when the prophet Nathan came to him after David had been with Bathsheba.) 1 You are kind, God! Please have pity on me. You are always merciful! Please wipe away my sins.

  ). What does that mean?
  
• David knew that God forgives our sins as soon as we acknowledge our sin (Psalm 51:2-3

  KJV 2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

  CEV 2 Wash me clean from all of my sin and guilt. 3 I know about my sins, and I cannot forget the burden of my guilt.

  ). David’s conclusion was: “That You may be found just when You speak, and blameless when You judge” (Psalm 51:4

  KJV 4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

  CEV 4 You are really the one I have sinned against; I have disobeyed you and have done wrong. So it is right and fair for you to correct and punish me.

  ). Judgment?
  
• How does God wash our sins away, judges with justice, and is found pure in the judgment?
  
• Thanks to the gospel!
  
• That’s how our sins are forgiven, our salvation is assured, and we will be victorious in the judgment.
  
• The sacrifice of Jesus showed the whole Universe that God is fair in the way He deals with sin.
  

  The judgment and mercy.
  

• Justice demands the death of those who have broken God’s Law (Romans 6:23

  KJV 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

  CEV 23 Sin pays off with death. But God's gift is eternal life given by Jesus Christ our Lord.

  ; 1 John 3:4

  KJV 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

  CEV 4 Everyone who sins breaks God’s law, because sin is the same as breaking God’s law.

  ). God could’ve abolished or changed His Law.
  
• However, He didn’t. The wicked will be judged and punished by their works (Revelation 20:13

  KJV 13 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.

  CEV 13 The sea gave up the dead people who were in it, and death and its kingdom also gave up their dead. Then everyone was judged by what they had done.

  ). Those who transgressed the Law will be condemned (Revelation 20:15

  KJV 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

  CEV 15 Anyone whose name wasn't written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

  ).
  
• How can we find hope in the judgment? By God’s mercy, Jesus gave His life for us. We just have to accept Him as our Savior (Ephesians 2:4-5

  KJV 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved; )

  CEV 4-5 But God was merciful! We were dead because of our sins, but God loved us so much he made us alive with Christ, and God's gift of undeserved grace is what saves you.

  ; James 2:13

  KJV 13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

  CEV 13 Do this, because on the day of judgment there will be no pity for those who have not had pity on others. But even in judgment, God is merciful!

  ).
  

  B. Scenes of the judgment:

  Daniel 7: The Judge, the Son, and the faithful people.
  

• Daniel saw a vision about God’s judgment and its consequences:
  (1) God begins the judgment seated on a throne of fire (Revelation 7:9

  KJV 9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

  CEV 9 After this, I saw a large crowd with more people than could be counted. They were from every race, tribe, nation, and language, and they stood before the throne and before the Lamb. They wore white robes and held palm branches in their hands,

  )
  (2) Millions are attending the judgment, and the books are opened (Revelation 7:10

  KJV 10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

  CEV 10 as they shouted, “Our God, who sits upon the throne, has the power to save his people, and so does the Lamb.”

  )
  (3) Jesus attends the judgment as our representative (Revelation 7:13

  KJV 13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

  CEV 13 One of the elders asked me, “Do you know who these people are that are dressed in white robes? Do you know where they come from?”

  )
  (4) At the end, Jesus receives “dominion and glory and kingdom” (Revelation 7:14

  KJV 14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

  CEV 14 “Sir,” I answered, “you must know.” Then he told me: “These are the ones who have gone through the great suffering. They have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb and have made them white.

  )
  (5) The judge orders the destruction of the wicked (Revelation 7:26

  Revelation 4: The judgment begins with praise.
  

• John also saw the magnificent scene of the Judgment.
  (1) God is seated on His throne (Revelation 7:1-3

  KJV 1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

  CEV 1  1-2 After this I saw four angels. Each one was standing on one of the earth's four corners. The angels held back the four winds, so that no wind would blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree. These angels had also been given the power to harm the earth and the sea. Then I saw another angel come up from where the sun rises in the east, and he was ready to put the mark of the living God on people. He shouted to the four angels, 3 “Don't harm the earth or the sea or any tree! Wait until I have marked the foreheads of the servants of our God.”

  )
  (2) 24 elders are gathered around the throne as the jury (Revelation 7:4

  KJV 4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

  CEV 4 Then I heard how many people had been marked on the forehead. There were 144,000, and they came from every tribe of Israel:

  )
  (3) Lightnings, thunders, and voices are heard: the judgment begins (Revelation 7:5

  KJV 5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.

  CEV 5 12,000 from Judah, 12,000 from Reuben, 12,000 from Gad,

  )
  (4) The witnesses appear: the cherubs represent the angels that have been with us (Revelation 7:6-8

  KJV 6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand. 7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. 8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.

  CEV 6 12,000 from Asher, 12,000 from Naphtali, 12,000 from Manasseh, 7 12,000 from Simeon, 12,000 from Levi, 12,000 from Issachar, 8 12,000 from Zebulun, 12,000 from Joseph, and 12,000 from Benjamin.

  )
  (5) God is praised before proceeding (Revelation 7:9-11

  KJV 9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; 10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. 11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

  CEV 9 After this, I saw a large crowd with more people than could be counted. They were from every race, tribe, nation, and language, and they stood before the throne and before the Lamb. They wore white robes and held palm branches in their hands, 10 as they shouted, “Our God, who sits upon the throne, has the power to save his people, and so does the Lamb.” 11 The angels who stood around the throne knelt in front of it with their faces to the ground. The elders and the four living creatures knelt there with them. Then they all worshiped God

  )
  
• Praise is the core of this judgment scene. The heavenly beings praise God because He is worthy of judging and ending sin (Revelation 4:11

  KJV 11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

  CEV 11 “Our Lord and God, you are worthy to receive glory, honor, and power. You created all things, and by your decision they are and were created.”

  ).
  

  Revelation 5: The Lamb is worthy of judging.
  

• The Father has a scroll in his hand. Its contents will be examined during the judgment. However, no one is worthy of opening its seals and judging fairly (Revelation 5:1-4

  KJV 1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? 3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. 4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

  CEV 1 In the right hand of the one sitting on the throne I saw a scroll that had writing on the inside and on the outside. And it was sealed in seven places. 2 I saw a mighty angel ask with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?” 3 No one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look inside it. 4 I cried hard because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or look inside it.

  ).
  
• Only Jesus is worthy, the Lamb of God that was slain for us. He is our representative in the judgment. His perfect and upright life covers us (Revelation 5:5-7

  KJV 5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. 6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

  CEV 5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Stop crying and look! The one who is called both the ‘Lion from the Tribe of Judah’ and ‘King David's Great Descendant’ has won the victory. He will open the scroll and its seven seals.” 6 Then I looked and saw a Lamb standing in the center of the throne surrounded by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb looked as if it had once been killed. It had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God, sent out to all the earth. 7 The Lamb went over and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who sat on the throne.

  ).
  
• Heavens burst into praises to Jesus before this amazing act of love (Revelation 5:8-14

  KJV 8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. 9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. 13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. 14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.

  CEV 8 After he had taken it, the four living creatures and the 24 elders knelt down before him. Each of them had a harp and a gold bowl full of incense, which are the prayers of God's people. 9 Then they sang a new song, “You are worthy to receive the scroll and open its seals, because you were killed. And with your own blood you bought for God people from every tribe, language, nation, and race. 10 You let them become kings and serve God as priests, and they will rule on earth.” 11 As I looked, I heard the voices of a large number of angels around the throne and the voices of the living creatures and of the elders. There were millions and millions of them, 12 and they were saying in a loud voice, “The Lamb who was killed is worthy to receive power, riches, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and praise.” 13 Then I heard all beings in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and in the sea offer praise. Together, all of them were saying, “Praise, honor, glory, and strength forever and ever to the one who sits on the throne and to the Lamb!” 14 The four living creatures said “Amen,” while the elders knelt down and worshiped.

• The purpose of the judgment is not to find out how bad we are but to reveal how good God is.
