Revelation

THE BOOK OF REVELATION: M. M. NINAN
The Judgment of the Dead with which the History of the Present Earth Ends (Rev. 20:12) (Mat
25:31-46)
This is the final judgment. The subjects are the "dead." As the redeemed were raised from among the dead
one thousand years before (Rev. 20:5) and have been in glory with Christ during that period. Usual
Christian interpretation is that the "dead" can only be the wicked dead, from the beginning to the setting up
of the great white throne in space. As there are degrees of punishment (Luke 12:27); (Luke 12:48) the dead
are judged according to their works.
(Mat 25:31-46)
“But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him,
then He shall sit on the throne of His glory.
And all nations shall be gathered before Him.
And He shall separate them from one another,
as a shepherd divides the sheep from the goats.
And indeed He shall set the sheep on His right hand,
but the goats off the left.
Then the King shall say to those on His right hand,
Come, blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world.
For I was hungry, and you gave me food;
I was thirsty, and you gave Me drink;
I was a stranger, and you took Me in;
