THE SEVEN COSMIC FUNCTIONS OF THE LORD JESUS:
5. JUDGMENT
Judgment in Hebrew word is shepet
–a sentence, i.e., infliction, judgment; mishpat-a verdict (favourable or
unfavourable) pronounced judicially. Judgment in Greek word is krima krisis- a
decision the function of the effect for or against (crime) condemnation.
As
willed by God the Father, He gave all the prerogative to the LORD JESUS CHRIST
as the judge over all created being since all judgment has been given to Him
because the Father judges no one (John. 5:22, 23, 27) that all may honor the Son.
The LORD JESUS is the Righteous Judge (Ps.7:11) and as the “LORD, abides forever. He had established His throne for judgment,
and He will judge the world in righteousness.
He will execute judgment for the people with equity (Ps. 9:7, 8).
The heavens declare His righteousness, for God Himself is JUDGE (Ps. 50:6).
Throughout the Old Testament times and in the world, the LORD JESUS
has the absolute authority to judge over all the people, and we must clearly
understand that all the dealings of the Triune God, concerning judgment is
exclusively through the function of God the Son, the LORD JESUS CHRIST (John. 5:22).
THE THREE EXECUTORY JUDGMENTS OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST:
I. THE CONDITIONAL JUDGMENT: (Ezek. chapter. 18; John.3:18) “He that believeth on Him is not condemned; but he that believeth not is
condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only
begotten Son of God.”
This is conditional, if anyone does not believe in the LORD JESUS
until death, His judgment is rendered already; It is written that the LORD “will render to every man according to his deeds” (Rom. 2:6); however if anyone that has been a sinner
repented and remains a believer and adherent of the LORD JESUS until death,
that one will not be condemned (Jn. 5:24),
but has passed from death unto life.
We must bear in mind that the LORD is omniscient (John. 21:17) and have foreknowledge (Rom. 8:29) and Him alone can search the mind and
hearts of all of us (Rev. 2:23).
He executes judgment to all the wicked people by extermination,
those who continually commit sin against the LORD and against anyone (2 Pet. 3:6, 7; Jude 6, 7).
This judgment is conditional within the life existence of all living
human kind, but after the time of death if anyone did not repent within the
grace period given by the LORD JESUS in lifetime existence, the judgment of
eternal torment will surely be rendered (Lk. 13:3) to all perpetual sinners.
II. THE IRREVOCABLE JUDGMENT: (Heb. 9:27) This executory judgment of the
LORD JESUS is irrevocable after the death of the concerned human kind; judgment
will precisely be rendered irrevocable; any motion for consideration to repeal
this judgment is null and void (Heb. 9:27), “It is appointed for man to die once and after death
the judgment.”
This is absolute truth revealed by the LORD JESUS, and therefore
negates the false belief of the Roman Catholic Church about purgatory, that the
souls of the dead sinners can be purged in that fictitious purging place.
III. THE GREAT WHITE
THRONE OF
JUDGMENT: (Rev.
20:11-15) In the resurrection of sinners they will be judged by the LORD
JESUS CHRIST according to their deeds (Rom. 2:6),
“If any one’s name was not found written in the
book of life he was thrown into the lake of fire (Rev. 21:8; 20:15)”.
This judgment will be rendered for all persistent sinners that died
and refused to repent until death. This judgment is not for the true adherents
of the LORD JESUS (John. 5:24).
