Lesson 7A FINAL (GENERAL Or LAST) JUDGMENT Lesson 7A FINAL (GENERAL or LAST) JUDGMENT Beloved Father of Mercy and Justice, We Your children, offer our lives as a pure and holy sacrifice, uniting our lives and our death to the life and death of Your Son and our Savior. At the Final Judgment we will stand united with the Body of Christ, body and soul, to receive Your Son's judgment. We will face this last and definitive judgment unafraid as the Books of Works are opened to reveal the imperishable deeds of love and mercy accumulated by the Church. This is the treasure stored up for eternity which Your children offer in the name of Christ our Savior and Redeemer. Send Your Holy Spirit, Lord, to lead us in this lesson of our study on the Eight Last Things. We pray in the name of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. + + + While I was watching thrones were set in place and one most venerable took his seat. His robe was white as snow, the hair of his head as pure as wool. His throne was a blaze of flames; its wheels were a burning fire. A stream of fire poured out, issuing from his presence. A thousand thousand waited on him, ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court was in session and the books lay open. Daniel 7:9-10 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself; and, because he is the Son of man, has granted him power to give judgment. Do not be surprised at this, for the hour is coming when the dead will leave their graves at the sound of his voice: those who did good will come forth to life; and those who did evil will come forth to judgment. John 5:26-29 Throughout salvation history God has come to deliver justice and judgment to His people. In the Old Testament Israel was judged and disciplined according to how she lived the law of the covenant. In addition to corporate judgment determined by covenant blessings and curses, each individual throughout salvation history, in the good or evil acts of their lives, receives God's guidance and judgment as they make their journey through this life to eternity. At the end of one's earthly journey there is also immediate judgment upon one's death. However, according to Sacred Scripture and the faith of the Church, man is destined to face two judgments before the judgment throne of God Almighty. The first judgment comes the moment the soul departs the body and is called the Particular or Individual Judgment. The second judgment, known as the General or Final or Last Judgment, takes place at the definitive moment in salvation history. Question: What great event in salvation history occurs just prior to the Final Judgment? See Acts 24:15; John 5:28-29; Matthew 25:31, John 5:28-29; 32, John 5:28-29; 46. Answer: The Second Advent of Jesus Christ and the resurrection of the dead. When Christ returns the dead arise in the resurrection of the dead, when all souls are united with all bodies, a union which will prepare each man and woman and child for the final and definitive judgment to spend all eternity either in everlasting bliss or everlasting distress. The resurrection of all the dead, "of both the just and the unjust," will precede the Last Judgment. This will be "the hour when all who are in the tombs will hear [the Son of man's] voice and come forth, those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment." Then Christ will come "in his glory, and all the angels with him....Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates sheep from the goats, and he will place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left.... And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." CCC# 1038 The Final or Last Judgment fully establishes the New Covenant as Jesus promised. This definitive moment in salvation history fulfills the prophecy of the New and everlasting Covenant given by the Prophet Jeremiah in John 5:28-29; Jeremiah 31:34 when all of God's plan for salvation history will be revealed and There will be no further need for everyone to teach neighbor or brother, saying, "Learn to know Yahweh!" Instruction in the faith will no longer be necessary because everything will be revealed in the brilliant light of truth and justice. The universal Catechism teaches: The Last Judgment will come when Christ returns in glory. Only the Father knows the day and the hour; only he determines the moment of its coming. Then through his Son Jesus Christ he will pronounce the final word on all history. We shall know the ultimate meaning of the whole work of creation and of the entire economy of salvation and understand the marvelous ways by which his Providence led everything towards its final end. The Last Judgment will reveal that God's justice triumphs over all the injustices committed by his creatures and that God's love is stronger than death. CCC# 1040 Jesus taught on the Final Judgment in the Parable of the Wheat and the Weeds in Matthew 13:24-30; 36-43 and in Matthew 25:31-46. Please read those passages. Question: What is the message of the teaching on the Final Judgment in Matthew 25:31-46? Answer: Every human being from every nation in every period of human history will be judged and the judgment will be very personally related to Christ concerning one's treatment of those in need of mercy and assistance. This final and definitive judgment will demonstrate before the world mankind's relationship with God as Jesus warned in Luke 12:2-3: Everything now covered up will be uncovered, and everything now hidden will be made clear. For this reason, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight and what you have whispered in hidden places will be proclaimed from the housetops. The Catechism echoes this teaching in # 1039: In the presence of Christ, who is Truth itself, the truth of each man's relationship with God will be laid bare. The Last Judgment will reveal even to its furthest consequences the good each person has done or failed to do during his earthly life... St. Paul urges continual repentance in preparation for the final day: Your stubborn refusal to repent is only storing up retribution for yourself on that Day of retribution when God's just verdicts will be made known. He will repay everyone as their deeds deserve. For those who aimed for glory and honor and immortality by preserving in doing good, there will be eternal life; but for those who out of jealousy have taken for their guide not truth but injustice, there will be the fury of retribution [Romans 2:5-8]. Question: How does the Old Testament prophet Isaiah describe the Final Judgment? See Isaiah 66:23-24; Joel 4:9-17; Daniel 7:9-10. Answer: All humanity will do homage to God, they will be judged according to their works, and those who rebel will face eternal damnation and the faithful will receive sanctuary. Question: What do the New Testament passages found in Matthew 10:11-15; 12:33-37; 19:27- 30; and Luke 11:29-32 tell us about the "Day of Judgment?" Answer: The judgment on any community or nation who rejects God's chosen ministers will be greater that that fiery judgment which fell upon Sodom and Gomorrah. Humanity will be answerable for their works which includes the good or bad words they speak The Twelve Apostles will judge the 12 Tribes of Old Covenant Israel The people and communities of past generations will testify against peoples and generations who rejected God's gift of salvation Question: What will occur in the Final Judgment according to the vision of St. John in Revelation 20:11-15? Answer: Immediately after the resurrection of the dead all human beings must face the judgment throne of God. Hades (the place of purification) will be emptied of the dead The Books will be opened: the Book of Life and the Books of Works or Deeds. Every person will be judged according to what is written down in the Books There will no longer be any need for death and Hades and they will be destroyed in the Lake of Fire. For additional Scripture passages concerning the Books of Works see Psalm 40:8; 56:8; Jeremiah 17:1; Daniel 7:10; Malachi 3:16; and Luke 10:20. Question: Who will serve as the judge in the Final or General Judgment? See Matthew 25:31- 46; John 5:26-30; 12:44-48; CCC# 679. Answer: Jesus in His role as Davidic King and Son of God will judge the nations of the earth but those who have rejected Jesus as Savior have already condemned themselves. CCC# 679 records: Christ is Lord of eternal life. Full right to pass definitive judgment on the works and hearts of men belongs to him as redeemer of the world. He "acquired" this right by his cross. The Father has given "all judgment to the Son." Yet the Son did not come to judge, but to save and to give the life he has in himself.

  • 2-22- the Four Last Things
    St. Mark Seeker’s Study Guide February 22, 2017: The Four Last Things – Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell The Four Last Things, death, judgment, heaven and hell, are realities of human life. Although our end in this world is not the most attractive topic of conversation, Christians should understand that death is a passage to new life. The Communion of the Saints is the unity of baptized Christians with all who have gone before us in the oneness of God. As Christians, we don’t just prepare for death, but we live that new life today in the sanctifying grace of our God. As we consider the Four Last things, we should do so in the context of faith. Death The Christian Life and Death: The dying should be given attention and care to help them live their last moments in dignity and peace. Assisted suicide or euthanasia are not a morally responsible use of life. The dying should be accompanied and supported. No one ought to feel that they are a burden to others. Part of the challenge of the spiritual life is to both learn to love and to be loved. Why is it harder to be loved? Prayer for the Dying: The dying will be helped by the prayer of their relatives, who must see to it that the sick receive at the proper time the Sacraments that prepare them to meet the living God” (CCC, no. 2299). Death: The final article of the Creed proclaims our belief in everlasting life. At the Catholic Rite of Commendation of the Dying, sometimes prayed at the Anointing of the Sick, we sometimes hear this prayer: “Go forth, Christian soul, from this world...

  • If Angels Do Not Have a Gender Then How Come They Have Boys Names?
    If angels do not have a gender then how come they have boys names? It is true that we believe that angels do not have gender. Angels unlike human beings are pure spirit. This is why when people say that a human being has become an angel in heaven that is incorrect. Any human being in heaven is a saint. It is true that human beings until the resurrection of the dead while in heaven only contain their spiritual nature. But when Christ comes again, and the resurrection of the dead occurs at that moment human beings will become complete joining the physical and spiritual together in heaven. Hence, angels and human beings are not simply a different species they are different order of creation. As such angels can never become human and humans can never become angels. But when angels have been revealed to human beings, they taken on the appearance of somewhat human form. They did this in order for human beings to be able to comprehend the message that is being given to them from God. The word angel means messenger. And each angel has a specific function to perform based on their rank. There are nine ranks of angels: Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, Archangels and Angels. Seraphim are caretakers to the throne of God and lead the worship of God in heaven. Cherubim guard the tree of life and the throne of God. Thrones are living symbols of God’s justice and authority and listening to the will of God present the prayers of human beings to Him.

  • A Re-Examination of the Millennium in Rev 20:1–6: Consummation and Recapitulation
    JETS 44/2 (June 2001) 237–51 A RE-EXAMINATION OF THE MILLENNIUM IN REV 20:1–6: CONSUMMATION AND RECAPITULATION dave mathewson* i. introduction The question of the so-called millennial kingdom in Rev 20:1–6 continues to be a source of fascination in evangelical discussion and dialogue.1 The purpose of this article is to re-examine the question of the millennial king- dom as articulated in Rev 20:1–6. More specifically, this article will consider the meaning and function of 20:1–6 within Revelation as it relates to the contemporary debate about whether this section is best understood within a premillennial or amillennial framework. Hermeneutically, most of the de- bate has centered around how literally the reference to the one thousand years in 20:1–6 should be taken and, more importantly, the relationship be- tween 20:1–6 and 19:11–21. Does the thousand year period in 20:1–6 re- fer to a more or less literal period of time?2 Or should it be understood more symbolically? Does 20:1–6 follow 19:11–21 chronologically, with the one thou- sand years featuring a Zwischenreich (premillennialism), or does the final battle in 20:7–10 recapitulate the battle in 19:11–21, with the reference to the one thousand years in 20:1–6 extending all the way back to the first coming of Christ (amillennialism)?3 * Dave Mathewson is instructor in New Testament at Oak Hills Christian College, 1600 Oak Hills Road SW, Bemidji, MN 56601. 1 Cf.

  • RCIA the Four Last Things: Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell
    FUNERAL LESSON – RCIA The Four Last Things: Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell Meaning of Christian Death • Because of Christ, Christian death has a positive meaning; if we have died with him, we will also live with him. o What is essentially new about Christian death is this: through Baptism, the Christian has already “died with Christ” sacramentally, in order to live a new life; and if we die in Christ’s grace, physical death completes this “dying with Christ: and so completes our incorporation into him in his redeeming act. (CCC1010) • In death, God calls man to himself. Therefore the Christian can experience a desire for death like St. Paul’s; “My desire is to depart and be with Christ.” He can transform his own death into an act of obedience and love towards the Father, after the example of Christ. (CCC1011) • Lord, for your faithful people life is changed, not ended. When the body of our early dwelling lies in death we gain an everlasting dwelling place in heaven. (CCC1012) • Living a Christ like life and taking advantage of Confession while we are alive makes the inevitability of death not as frightening as it could be. Judgment • The Particular Judgment: The eternal retribution received by each soul at the moment of death, in accordance with that person’s faith and works. • The Last Judgment: God’s triumph over the revolt of evil, after the final cosmic upheaval of this passing world. Preceded by the resurrection of the dead, it will coincide with the second coming of Christ in glory at the end of time, disclose good and evil and reveal the meaning of salvation history and the providence of God by which justice has triumphed over evil.

  • Amillennialism Reconsidered Beatrices
    Andrews University Seminary Studies, Vol. 43, No. 1,185-210. Copyright 0 2005 Andrews University Press. AMILLENNIALISM RECONSIDERED BEATRICES. NEALL Union College Lincoln, Nebraska Introduction G. K. Beale's latest commentary on Revelation and Kim Riddlebarger's new book A Casefor Ami~~ennialismhave renewed interest in the debate on the nature of the millennium.' Amillennialism has an illustrious history of support from Augustine, theologians of the Calvinistic and ~utheran confessions, and a long line of Reformed theologians such as Abraham Kuyper, Amin Vos, H. Ridderbos, A. A. Hoekema, and M. G. line? Amillennialists recognize that a straightforward reading of the text seems to show "the chronologicalp'ogression of Rev 19-20, the futurity of Satan's imprisonment,the physicality of 'the first resurrection' and the literalness of the one thousand years" (emphasis supplied).) However, they do not accept a chronologicalprogression of the events in these chapters, preferring instead to understand the events as recapitulatory. Their rejection of the natural reading of the text is driven by a hermeneutic of strong inaugurated eschatology4-the paradox that in the Apocalypse divine victory over the dragon and the reign of Christ and his church over this present evil world consist in participating with Christ in his sufferings and death? Inaugurated eschatology emphasizes Jesus' victory over the powers of evil at the cross. Since that monumental event, described so dramatically in Rev 12, Satan has been bound and the saints have been reigning (Rev 20). From the strong connection between the two chapters (see Table 1 below) they infer that Rev 20 recapitulates Rev 12.

  • The Mysteries of the Throne of God Revealed Our Mission
    The Mysteries of the Throne of God Revealed Our Mission: To take as many people to Heaven as we can before we die. Period. 1. God Himself is on His throne being worshipped. ​ ​ Then as I looked, I saw a door standing open in heaven, and the same voice I had heard before spoke to me like a trumpet blast. The voice said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after this." And instantly I was in the Spirit, and I saw a throne in heaven and someone sitting on it. The one sitting on the throne was as brilliant as gemstones—like jasper and carnelian. And the glow of an emerald circled his throne like a rainbow. Revelation 4:1-3 NLT ​ 2. The 24 elders are representatives of God's entire people: Either 12 Tribes of Israel and ​ ​ ​ ​ the 12 apostles, or it can be seen as the 24 courses of Jewish priesthood. Why can't it be ​ ​ ​ ​ both? Twenty-four thrones surrounded him, and twenty-four elders sat on them. They were all clothed in white and had gold crowns on their heads. From the throne came flashes of lightning and the rumble of thunder. And in front of the throne were seven torches with burning flames. This is the sevenfold Spirit of God. In front of the throne was a shiny sea of glass, sparkling like crystal. Revelation 4:4-6a NLT He will rule in great glory in Jerusalem, in the sight of all the leaders of his people.

  • What Happens When I Die?
    PROJECT CONNECT PROJECT CONNECT PROJECT CONNECT What Happens When I Die? by Rev. Stephen Hower Can anyone know for certain what happens at the moment of death? What do you believe about death and the afterlife? Why do you believe what you believe? Is one opinion just as good as another? I’ve conducted hundreds of funerals for families of every background and belief. Prior to the funeral, I typically gather the immediate family together for comfort, to share their memories, and to plan the memorial. Almost always there are differences of opinion about what should or should not be said, sung, or allowed during the service. The disagreements never really surprise me. Our families are just a reflection of the diversity of beliefs we have in America on the subject of death. Some hold Christian beliefs rooted in the Scripture and many do not. Still others believe it’s useless to speculate about things no one can know for sure. I have also stood by the bedside of terminally ill patients, sometimes at the moment of death. It is not unusual for patients and their families in those situations to ask lots of questions about the inevitable. “What’s going to happen, you know … when I die? What’s that going to be like? What can I expect to feel, see, or hear? Will I see angels? Will Jesus suddenly appear and personally take me to heaven? What will heaven be like? How can I be sure I will go to heaven? Will I be greeted by members of my family that have already died? Will I know others in heaven? Will others know me?” These are some of the questions I hear.
