I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. 

[q] Question: For what has God prepared His throne? Who will be judged?

[a] Answer: Psalm 9:7, 8

But the Lord shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment. And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

[q] Question: To whom has the Father committed the work of judgment? Why?

[a] Answer: John 5:22, 27

For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son; And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

[q] Question: How many of us will be brought into the judgment? What reward will each one receive?

[a] Answer: 2 Corinthians 5:10

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

[q] Question:  What questions does the apostle ask? What reason is given why we should not judge one another? To whom must every knee bow, and tongue confess? Of whom will each one be called
to give account ? In view of this, what should we not do any more ?

[a] Answer: Romans 14:10-13

But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way.

[q] Question: Who besides man are reserved to judgment?

[a] Answer: 2 Peter 2:4, 9; Jude 6

For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished.

And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

[q] Question: Will the judgment occupy time?

[a] Answer: Ecclesiastes 3:17

I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.

[q] Question: What are ‘those doing who judge one another now? When will be the time for judgment? What will then be brought to light? What will every man then have?

[a] Answer:1 Corinthians 4:5

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

Note:

God “hath committed all judgment unto the Son.” He has also “appointed a day in the which He will judge the world in righteousness, by that Man whom He bath Ordained.” Therefore he who judges another has climbed up into the seat of God, thus saying that he is God. That is nothing short of the papacy, the man of sin. He not only assumes the prerogatives of God, but is meting out judgment before the time. “Let us not therefore judge one another any more.”

[q] Question: When the living and the dead will be judged?

[a] Answer: 2 Timothy 4:1

I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

[q] Question: What did Christ command His followers to preach to the people?

[a] Answer: Acts 10:41, 42

Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.

[q] Question: According to what will men be judged?

[a] Answer: Romans 2:16

[q] Question: What is the conclusion of the whole matter? What is declared to be the whole duty of man? What will God bring into judgment?

[a] Answer: Ecclesiastes 12:13, 14.

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
