truth.  John ceases to speak of multitudes, he descends to the singular kai

ei tis ... eblethe, 'If Anyone ... He was cast'.

The Great White Throne

resurrection and judgment is the complement of

the overcomer's resurrection

and judgment and, being so, may have no

reference to the millions of

unevangelized dead.  It will be one of the

sessions, 'the Judgment Seat

of Christ', (see Hurt of Second Death, in

Millennial Studies, p. 98).

Here for the moment we stay.  Much re -adjustment will be necessary and

this requires time, care and prayerful study.  We believe sufficient has been

brought forward in this analysis to justify a re-examination of many existing

theories, and if it only calls a halt, and sends us all back to the neglected

yet central portion of Scripture in this connection, namely Revelation 20:1 -

10, enough will have been achieved to justify publication.  By speaking of

the 'Millennial' kingdom we have blinded our eyes.  We ought to speak of the

first thousand years of a kingdom that shall have no end until the Son of God

delivers up a perfected kingdom to God the Father, that God may be all in

The 'Millennium' is the last of the rule of God upon earth that employs

Delegated authority.  David, in resurrection, will be the Saviour's Viceroy.

The twelve apostles will sit upon the twelve thrones judging the

twelve tribes of Israel, the martyrs of the antichristian persecutions will

reign with Christ, and even then, the 1,000 years ends in rebellion.  The age

that follows is the reign of the Son of Man alone, and this ushers in the day

of glory.  We are conscious that much that we have written in this article is

rather disconcerting, but we ask only one thing of our readers.  Have we

built squarely upon the revealed Word of God?  Have we introduced any private

interpretations of our own?  We earnestly desire to be corrected if we have

unconsciously done the latter, but we make no apology for any of our teaching

that is in harmony with the Scriptures.

The interested reader will find in The Berean Expositor Vol. 6, page 65

that what we have here expanded was there foreshadowed, but the claims of the

Dispensation of the Mystery made demands that put the question of

the Millennium on the shelf.  Recent suggestions have prompted us to the

present analysis.

Two challenging items must conclude this survey.

At the Great White Throne there will be a judgment of Works.  If

those judged are the wicked dead, why differentiate between sins and works?

Commentators seem to be unanimous that this judgment refers to the teeming

millions of unevangelized heathen.  But, seeing that Revelation 2:11 and 3:5

and 20:6 tie the whole of the Apocalypse together and must not exclude 20:12

-15, and seeing that 'works' are definitely a subject of 'judgment' in

Revelation 2:2,5,9,13,19,26; 3:1,2,8,15 and the rewards of these same

chapters all point forward to the same closing scenes of the Apocalypse, does

it not cry out for recognition that 'the works' of Revelation 20:12,13 are

Not the works of the unevangelized millions but of those who could not be

included in the Former resurrection of the overcomers, both characters being

found in the seven churches?
