In The Beginning.....God's Plan: Judgment Day

We'll get into the Trumps, etc., very soon, but for purposes of establishing a timeline:  At the 7th Trump we all change into our spiritual bodies (I Corinthians 15:51-58), the Millennium is a 1,000 years of teaching following the 7th Trump (The Millennium), Satan is loosed for a time for the final testing at the end of the Millennium and just before Judgment Day, the 3rd earth/heaven age starts at the end of Judgment Day {posts on all to come}.  This Post is about Judgment Day:

First, neither anything in this 2nd earth age or what's to come has anything to do with whether your soul belongs to God.  All souls belong to God...He created them in the 1st earth age and He can destroy them on Judgment Day (Ezekiel 18:4).  You accepting Christ as your Savior and whether you choose God or Satan and how you live in this 2nd earth age is a whole other matter indeed. 

Ezekiel 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

Judgment Day is your reward for your good works....it doesn't need to be something dreaded....you are given eternal life on that wonderful day....clothed based on righteous acts/works (the only thing you can actually take with you after your flesh death....Revelation 14:13.  Yes, you are also judged on your unrepented bad acts as well.  Evil souls, however, will be blotted out at this time.  They will not be in a pit somewhere burning for all eternity.  God will be rejuvenating the earth/heaven after Judgment Day and having evil anywhere as a part of this new eternity is not part of God's Plan (Revelation 21:1 & Luke 12:4-5 the death here is the death of the spiritual body, the very soul, the second and permanent death). 




There is a difference between the gulfs in heaven now prior to Judgment Day and the "blotting" out on Judgment Day.  Luke 16 speaks to the divided gulfs in heaven at this time in the story of Lazarus and the rich man.  The division is not God's final Judgment but it is God's dividing certain sinners away from Him until the Millennium and Judgment Day.  God doesn't send someone to hell before they are judged, but that in and of itself is a hell that the rich man wanted to warn his brothers against.  The final hell (as it were) of Judgment day is the smoke from the extinguishing of those judged to die the 2nd death being blotted out forever.  Something we should all work against. 

II Corinthians 9:6-8 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.  Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.  And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work,

God knows not only your works but your very heart (Proverbs 21:2-4).  Doing something begrudgingly discounts the act, so give with a giving heart (I Peter 1:14-16).  The work you do here is your reward on Judgment Day.  Your good works are your raiment (clothing in heaven) (Revelation 19:7-8).  Repent for sins and move forward doing better (Luke 13:3).

Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

 Mark 11:25-26 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also Which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.  But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father Which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. 

Matthew 18:35 "So likewise shall My heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses."

Isaiah 43:25 I, even I, am He That blotteth out thy transgressions for Mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
