THE ORGANIZATION OF THE KINGDOM PROVIDES THE OFFICIARY FOR THIS JUDGMENT

THE ORGANIZATION OF THE KINGDOM PROVIDES THE OFFICIARY FOR THIS JUDGMENT

"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: 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."  Matt. 25:31-32

In the Absolute Sense Christ is Responsible for all Judgment. John 5:22, 27

"Before him shall be gathered all nations."

• In the Delegated Sense Christ Entrusts this to Qualified Servants

The Church - Rev. 19:14; 20:6

"And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean."

"Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years."

The Tribulational Saints - Rev. 20:4

"And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years."

The Old Testament Saints - Rev. 20:6

"Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years."

Angels are disposers of wicked - Matt. 25:31; 13:41-42, cf. Luke 16:22

"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:"

"The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."

"And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;"

 

In the Distributive Sense, this Judgment takes Place all Across the World. "Before Him" means it is centered there. Perhaps by television. But the people cannot all get there, so Church, Saints, and Angels carry out orders.

"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: 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."
