Revelation 20:11-15

(Revelation 20:11-15)

『And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.  And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. 』

 

Baptism means that the old man dies in water and is reborn by the Holy Spirit. In Romans 6:3-4, ``Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. So, for those who died with Christ, in Matthew 12:31, Jesus took all the sins of the world.『Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. 』

 

As for the reason Jesus took away all the sins of the world, Paul says in Romans 8:3-4. 『For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.』 Those who follow the flesh are those who act according to the law. Those who walk according to the Spirit are those who are led by the Holy Spirit. Those who follow the Spirit are those in Jesus Christ who died to the law. That is, those who believe that they died with Jesus are dead to the law.

 

The criterion for judgment at Jesus' Second Coming will be based on Matthew 12:31-32."Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. "
The object of judgment is those who do not believe the words of Jesus. When you repent, Jesus takes away all the sins of the world. Blasting the Holy Spirit means not believing even though Jesus has clearly said that he is taking all the sins of the world. The Jews considered breaking the law as a sin.

 

When the Holy Spirit comes, the Holy Spirit will reprove sin. In John 16:8-9, ``And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me』 What the law cannot do because of the weakness of the flesh, God made his Son born under the law in the form of sin and made him die, taking away all the sins of the world. Those who repent and turn to God have all the sins of the world disappear in Christ.

 

By the way, when the Holy Spirit comes, it is a sin to not believe what Jesus said. God does not ask for worldly sins after Jesus Christ comes into this world. However, in the New Testament era, it is a sin to not believe the words that Jesus said in the Gospel of Matthew "take away the sins of the world." To not believe what Jesus said means to have nothing to do with Jesus. Those who are related to Jesus are those who eat Jesus' flesh and drink blood. So they become believers in Jesus.

 

It is repentance or not that God judges sin against humans.
They came to this world that they could become like God without God, but those who come back after realizing what is wrong will repent and return to God. It means that he will not sin against those who repent because of what Jesus has accomplished. However, it is that God judges those who do not realize what is wrong and who try to achieve righteousness in this world as their master. God has tried to achieve righteousness, so God does not allow those who have not accomplished righteousness by themselves to enter the kingdom of God. Those who try to be justified are not recorded in the book of life. However, only those who realize that it is impossible to achieve righteousness on their own and enter into Christ are recorded in the book of life. Those who enter Christ are those who die with Jesus. In Romans 6:7, “For he that is dead is freed from sin. 』That is, he is a person who eats Jesus' flesh and drinks blood.

 

In John 5:22, ``For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:'' The Son is Jesus Christ. In 2 Corinthians 5:10, "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 』


Here, good is God's way, and evil is a way to achieve righteousness by yourself. So, according to the result, it is divided into the result of whether or not to wear the place of the kingdom of God. This is because the description of 2 Corinthians 5:1-9 is about "to put on a tent." If a believer does not return his place from heaven, he cannot return to the kingdom of God. This is the judgment.

 

Since they believe that the spirits who have sinned and left the kingdom of God can achieve righteousness on their own, God created and sent the material world, but those who come back after realizing that it is impossible to achieve righteousness themselves, God puts the dwelling place in the kingdom of God again. For those who insist on achieving righteousness on their own, he judges without putting on clothes. Those whom God puts on the clothes of the kingdom of God are those who are united with Jesus Christ. They are those who realize that it is impossible to achieve righteousness on their own. God has forgiven all of these worldly sins. That is why we just need to repent to God and return to the kingdom of God.

 

Those who say they are in Christ, but still look to see if they sin according to the law and try to keep their own righteousness, are those who do not understand the will of God. The righteous are the only ones who repent of their departure from God and crucify with Jesus Christ. So, they believe that God has taken all the sins of the world, and only want to return to the kingdom of God and put on a place from heaven. The criterion of judgment is whether or not we are justified. The criterion for justification is faith in Jesus Christ.

 

In Revelation 20:12, “And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 』In the book of life, the names of those who came into Christ through faith are recorded. Those who have done for their own righteousness will be recorded in other books, and those recorded in other books will be judged by God.

 

What does it mean to be sulfur and lake of fire? In 20:10, ``And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. It was said that it was fire and sulfur. In 20:14, 『And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 』The second death was said to be the lake of fire. The word lake of fire means "cedar tree". In Genesis 6, the true ark was translated as sulfur.

 

『The Camp of the Cedar Tree』 symbolizes Jesus Christ and is the word of God. The lake of fire (the camp of the cedar tree) means the Word of God and the Holy Spirit, and it means that everything was burned by the Word and the Holy Spirit. Fire symbolizes the Holy Spirit. The pond is water and symbolizes the Word of God. It is the second death to be thrown into the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. In 2 Peter 3:7, ``But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 』Judgment is made by the Word of God and the Holy Spirit.

Revelation 2:1-7

(Revelation 2:1-7) Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;   I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.   He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, ...
