The First Phase Of The Judgment
(Investigative) (Guilty or innocent)
- REVELATION 22:
- 11 "He that is unjust, let him be
unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he
that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let
him be holy still."
- 12 "And, behold, I come quickly; and
my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall
be."
- NOTE:
- This is another way of saying, let him who
is guilty be guilty still and he who is innocent be innocent still? In
this case it would be more appropriate to say pardoned or unpardoned
because we are all guilty of sin.
- MATTHEW 25:
- 31 "When the Son of man shall come in
his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the
throne of his glory:"
- 32 "And before him shall be gathered all
nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a
shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:"
- 34 "Then shall the King say unto them
on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom
prepared for you from the foundation of the world:"
- 41 "Then shall he say also unto them
on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire,
prepared for the devil and his angels:"
- NOTE:
- At His coming Christ gives to each person
his reward according to the way he has lived. Revelation 22:12 The
righteous inherit the kingdom but the wicked go into everlasting fire.
Matthew 25:34,41 It is obvious, by the time Christ comes, the life of
each person has already been investigated to determine what reward he
will receive.
- Is one innocent because he is covered by
Christ’s blood or is he guilty because he refuses to accept His
pardon?
- Since He comes bringing His rewards with Him
it is logical that the Investigative Judgment takes place before the
second coming. The second coming is at the beginning of the Millennium.
