Let us now turn our attention to the Great White Throne. We observe that this

judgment is twofold. First there is a judgment of works, and this is followed by the

judgment that issues in life or the second death. The judgment that will be more tolerable

for Sodom and Gomorrha can scarcely be made to fit in here, neither can the judgment of

the unevangelized Gentile world be easily aligned here as it is described in Rom. 2: 6-16.

The latter at least is a judgment according to "deeds" (Rom. 2: 6), and of course may be

all one and the same as this judgment of Rev. 20:, but for the moment the decision is not

vital to our quest. The Gospel preacher often refers to the Great White Throne in

language that exceeds anything written in Rev. 20: Instead of this chapter telling us that

"whoever stands before the Great White Throne is necessarily damned", the reverse is the

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.

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 Rev. 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 all.

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 reign that follows is the age 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, Volume VI, page 66, that

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