Thanks Brother Joe. That was a good lesson on the judgement day. One thing I would like to have heard in this lesson is how those that have died without the law will be judged. I my estimation, what really sets apart the restored Gospel from other Christian faiths is the fact that those who died without knowing the gospel or being baptized will still have access to Eternal Life.
When I was a young man I had a good Christian girlfriend who told me those people who never heard of Jesus Christ will go to hell. She could never explain how that was fair. Several years later I ran into the missionaries and I asked them that question. They told me oh they get a chance in the spirit world. It was the fairest thing I ever heard.
Most Christians have never grasped the fact that there were 2 covenants operating side by side (simultaneously) for 40 years from 30-70AD. . During that time, the OLD Covenant was gradually fading and "ABOUT TO DISAPPEAR" (Heb 8:13). Meanwhile, the NEW Covenant was just starting to gain momentum. . IN THE FOLLOWING VERSES, notice the change of message - as it pertains to two different people groups, and 2 different covenants - Clearly, one has WRATH, and the other doesn't. ******************************************** NEW COVENANT WORLD ... . "If anyone hears my words and does NOT keep them, I DO NOT JUDGE HIM; for I did NOT come to judge the WORLD but to save the WORLD." - John 12:47 ________________________________________ OLD COVENANT WORLD ... .

Rev 20:13 ... "and they were judged, each one of them, according to their WORKS."
What about Daniel 9:27 where Jesus dies halfway in the Seventieth week, causing the :sacrifice and gift offering to cease?" See Heb 9:11,12; 10:8-10. It was the year 33 CE that the Law Covenant was made null and void (Eph 2:15; Heb 10:1). Without atonement for sin, how could God maintain close association with the Jews? Only Christians had access to cleansing of sin. Although the Jews kept up the pretense, Judaism was finished in 33 CE. The curtain was torn (Mark 15:38; Luke 23:45; Mt 27:51; Exodus 26:31-33; Heb 9:2, 3; 10:19, 20). The way to heaven, God's presence, was cleared.
There are three resurrections. Christ is the first resurrected (to be first in all things) -- Rev 1:5; Col 1:18. Next, those that belong to him, the anointed class, the chosen ones -- Col 1:42-57; Rev 20:4, 5. Third, the rest of mankind. Unlike the men who were resurrected to spirit life that are without sin (corruption), the dead men resurrected during the 1,000 years are considered "dead" because they are still sinful. They would die again because of the sin within them. The 1,000 years is spent training them in perfect worship. After passing the final test (Rev 20:7-10), they "come to life" after the 1,000 years. The dead that are resurrected during the 1,000 years are not being judged on previous sins because death pays for the sin (Romans 6:7). No, it is the actions during the 1,000 years on which they will be judged.
The judgment of Mt 25:31-46 indicates that those of the Last Days will be assessed on how they treated Jesus' brothers (Rev 5:9, 10; 12:17; Mt 24:45-51). Those that helped support the Chosen Ones in their witnessing work are sheep and those that oppose are goats. Since these Chosen Ones are representatives of God's coming Kingdom, it is how men regard God's Kingdom that determines survival. The execution is at Armageddon when such ones attack Christians (Ezekiel 38:2, 11, 15, 16, 18, 21; Zechariah 2:8).
Saddens me to see how far from the truth religion has fallen. The blood is what cleanses you of all unrighteousness. The cross plus nothing only faith in Jesus Christ. 1 Cor 15 1-4
Good or bad does not exist. There's only alignment (state of being) in positive or negative both existing. The Jesus version through Christianity & Catholicism does not exist. Jesus (aka Yeshua) was an Egnostic, Essenes Jew. He was an adept follower (ascended Master) of the teachings of the Emerald Tablets of Thoth. The bible has alittle truths mixed in with alot of lies. Most of the God's in the bible, especially in the Old Testament are all fake God's. There is no final Judgement day. The Father does not judge its creations. The problem with religion their followers only believes in the messenger, with Spiritual followers we believe (knowing ) in the message.

It will look like every other fictional event that's never going to happen. Judgement day was supposed to happen within a generation of Jesus' death.
Good or bad does not exist. There's only alignment (state of being) in positive or negative both existing. The Jesus version through Christianity & Catholicism does not exist. Jesus (aka Yeshua) was an Egnostic, Essenes Jew. He was an adept follower (ascended Master) of the teachings of the Emerald Tablets of Thoth. The bible has alittle truths mixed in with alot of lies.

The Old Testament gives us the answer when the True Messiah comes there will be Peace and unfortunately Jesus is not the Messiah!!!
