RESURRECTIONS AND JUDGMENTS M.M.NINAN Vine's Expository Dictionary: Judgment-Seat: primarily, "a step, a pace" (akin to baino, "to go"), as in Act 7:5, translated "to set (his foot) on," lit., "foot-room," was used to denote a raised place or platform, reached by steps, originally that at Athens in the Pnyx Hill, where was the place of assembly; from the platform orations were made. The word became used for a tribune, two of which were provided in the law courts of Greece, one for the accuser and one for the defendant; it was applied to the tribunal of a Roman magistrate or ruler, Mat 27:19; John 19:13; Act 12:21, translated "throne;" 18:12, 16, 17; 25:6, 10, 17. In two passages the word is used of the Divine tribunal before which all believers are hereafter to stand. In Rom 14:10 it is called "The judgment seat of God," RV (AV, "of Christ"), according to the most authentic mss. The same tribunal is called "the judgment seat of Christ," 2Cr 5:10, to whom the Father has given all judgment, John 5:22, 27. At this bema believers are to be made manifest, that each may "receive the things done in (or through) the body," according to what he has done, "whether it be good or bad." There they will receive rewards for their faithfulness to the Lord. For all that has been contrary in their lives to His will they will suffer loss, 1Cr 3:15. This judgment seat is to be distinguished from the premillennial, earthly throne of Christ, Mat 25:31, and the postmillennial "Great White Throne," Rev 20:11, at which only "the dead" will appear. The judgment-seat of Christ will be a tribunal held "in His Parousia," i.e., His presence with His saints after His return to receive them to Himself.
