A more correct topic for today's les
son would be The Judgment Of the
Nations. According to the legitimate
textual and contextuaI Specification II
tx the judgment OF the living nations.
which still lies in the future. The
idea OF a general Judgment Is q funda-
mental error. Doctor Pentecost well
SAYS, 1T Is a mischievous habit that
has led the Christian world to speak
OF the Judgment as being one great
s.vent taking place at he end OF the
world when all human beings, saints
aud sinners. Jews and Gentiies. the
living and the dead, shall stand up
before the great white throne and
there be judged. Nothing can be nor
wide OF the Scriptures"
The Bible speaks of several judg-
ments, differing In respect to the sub
jects to be judged. the place Of judg-
ment. the time and result Of the judg-
ment. The Judgment which we are
considering today Is not that one set
forth In Revelation 20:11-14. II pre-
cedes that one by at least 1000 years.
A definite analysis OF this lesson will
show how entirely distinct this judg
ment is from the final judgment.
!. The Judge ". 81.
He is the Son OF man. the n who
came and died to redeem the human
J face. At this time he Is seen clothed
with majesty and power sitting upon
his throne acting as judge. There Is
no judgment. 50 far as sin Is con-
cerned. for those who now accept
Jesus Christ as their Saviour (John
SOD.
u. The Time Of Judgment ". 81.
This judgment will take place when
the Lord comes In his glory accom-
panied by a retlnue Of glorious an
gels, and after he has gathered tn.
elect remnant of Israel. There VII
be no resurrection in connection with
this judgment.
III. The Place Of Judgment ". 3D.
The prophecies of Joel (2:1-17) and
Zechariah IA :1-5) show that it will
be In or nea Jerusalem. The angel
said to Mary, Thou shalt call his
lame Jesus. He shall be great and
shall be called the Son Of the High
est, and the Lord God shall give unto
him the throne of his father David.
And he shall reign W the house of
Jacob forever; and of his kingdom
there shall be no end" duke 1:31-
33). AS David was a literal king and
reigned at a literal place, there shall
be at that time a literal judge occupy
Ing a literal place of judgment.
w. The People Judged wv. 32-45).
1t is expressly declared before him
shall be gathered all nations" They
will be the nations left upon the earth
after the church has been translated
III Thess. 4:16, 10. These are the ma.
tons to whom the gospel Of the king
dom shall be preached just prior ts
the coming Of the end Of this age,
And this gospel of the kingdom shall,
be preached in all the world for a wit
hes unto all nations; and then shall
the end come" (Matt. 24:14). This COS
pei is distinct from the grace of God
which is now being preached. The
preachers Of this gospel will bs the
Jews (Rev. 7 and Rom. III. They will
move among the nations Of the earth
with the startling news Of the Lords
approaching kingdom.
