  1. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the fellowship tonight. The

  2. topic may very well be the Great White Throne Judgment.

  3. It very well may not be, because here in the fellowship,

  4. the spirit needs to move.

  5. So, I.

  6. Just had a very incredible thing said to me. before

  7. we come on, we were in chit chat, just chatting privately.

  8. I was making sure everybody was doing okay. And somebody

  9. said a wonderful thing to me that I know I

  10. haven't heard in at least 20 years. They stated that

  11. they were waiting for the Lord to do something. And

  12. I was taken aback. Um, The church that I was

  13. raised in, those people said that categorically. They said it

  14. all the time.

  15. But that was the first time I'd heard that.

  16. To be honest with you, I could not tell you

  17. how long it's been since I heard someone say that.

  18. Because everything is just mixed up and confused. I wish

  19. that all of you could... could understand what happened to

  20. me in my upbringing. I, I wish you could understand

  21. that when I went to a Christian university, I was

  22. taken completely by surprise because I didn't know any of these,

  23. these theological myths. I had never been taught, um, I'd

  24. never read any commentaries on the Bible. I was only

  25. allowed to read the Bible and history books, encyclopedias. So

  26. you can imagine my surprise when... Well, I'm going to

  27. be very forthright with you. One of my professors for

  28. New Testament is a very famous author.

  29. And he was.

  30. My professor for a New Testament class. And if I

  31. remember correct, it's like midway through my first semester. He

  32. did a brief overview of eschatology. And I'm like, what

  33. are you talking about? I mean, if I remember correctly,

  34. my exact question was, Where did you get that from?

  35. I literally ask him this question publicly. The problem was

  36. I was very young and he had no idea. He

  37. was about to get a reckoning with someone that had

  38. been ingrained with God's word. It had been ingrained in me.

  39. To the point this. The year before this, when we

  40. went to the National Bible Bowl, I answered all the questions.

  41. My teammates and the other team never even got a

  42. chance to answer the questions because I would hit the

  43. buzzer before the question was even completed. I did this

  44. in a stadium full of people. So, and he didn't

  45. understand that I asked that question with authority. And unfortunately,

  46. he opened his mouth in just nonsense. So I politely,

  47. I was polite and I let him ramble on. And

  48. then I said, no, that's not what I meant. What

  49. I meant was, where did you get that in the Bible?

  50. Where's the chapter and verse? Because that's not in the Bible. So,

  51. you take a topic like this one, which is a

  52. big entry in any of your list for end times terminologies,

  53. the Great White Throne Judgment. It is called that for

  54. a specific reason, because that's literally what the verse says.

  55. A great white throne. What is amazing to me is

  56. that all these theologians have completely... They have completely obscured

  57. the Word. There's nothing complicated about God's Word. He literally

  58. comes out and tells you everything. He will categorically and

  59. systematically tell you exactly what He intends to do. And

  60. it amazes me how everybody else will state the exact opposite.

  61. It's incredible to me. It's incredible. Really, you can call

  62. this two different things. This is also the second resurrection.

  63. It is the final judgment and the second resurrection. But

  64. you have to understand, ladies and gentlemen, you have to

  65. really come to grips with this. Upwards of half of

  66. all Christianity reject Revelation chapter 20. And what astounds me

    Revelation 20 chapter mention

  67. is that most of these parishioners have no idea that's

  68. what their church believes. Most of them will actually take

  69. offense if you actually tell them. Yeah, you know the

  70. priest that gets up in front of you and does

  71. the reading on Sunday? He believes that he is literally

  72. ruling instead of Christ. And believe me, when you put

  73. it to them in black and white, they get offended. Well, no,

  74. they don't believe that.

  75. Oh, yes, they do.

  76. They believe That they are the 144,000.

  77. Priest.

  78. And clergy. That is ruling for Christ. Because right now

  79. is the millennial reign of Christ. This is categorically what

  80. they believe. That is. Diametrically opposed. To God's word. And

  81. I just. I don't need. Revelation chapter 20.

    Revelation 20 chapter mention

  82. To legally.

  83. Prove that, biblically speaking.

  84. I don't need that.

  85. John chapter 5 plainly states it. That God will only

    John 5 chapter mention

  86. judge the wicked. The righteous he has reserved to receive

  87. their reward from Jesus. But if you reject John chapter 5,

    John 5 chapter mention

  88. More importantly, when you're biblically illiterate, none of this even matters, right?

  89. Because your clergy has taught you to go to church,

  90. get baptized, have your children baptized, and pay your tithe,

  91. and you're going to go to heaven. That's what they

  92. have taught you every Sunday All of them. So you

  93. need to understand that this whole thing is going to

  94. be carried out according to God's purpose. It has a purpose.

  95. Jesus Christ is going to judge the righteous because he

  96. was righteous. Therefore, he is qualified to reward the righteous.

  97. But really, if we want to come to grips with

  98. all of this, that's really where we need to go.

  99. It's John chapter 5.

    John 5 chapter mention

  100. Not really any other place.

  101. It is that chapter that... defines for you these two judgments.

  102. And like I said, God doesn't beat around the bush.

  103. He doesn't hide what he's going to do. He comes

  104. right out and tells you. And it's here in John

    John 5 chapter mention

  105. chapter 5 that he tells you why he's going to

  106. do it. And it's amazing that when you hear these preachers,

  107. these teachers, talk about this, for some reason they want

  108. you to think that what their doctorate of theology teachers

  109. teach That's the gospel truth instead of what God says.

  110. And they go to great lengths to circumvent the word. So,

  111. up front, when I read this for you, you need

  112. to understand what I'm doing. I'm not sharing with you

  113. a word. That's not what I do. Okay? I'm sharing

  114. with you the word. It is inspired by the Holy Spirit.

  115. It is inerrant, free from mistakes, and it is infallible.

  116. It is timeless in its authority. What it says does

  117. not pass away. So, this is the Word, and it's

  118. here where we are taught Who, what, where, when, why?

  119. God just comes right out and tells you why there's

  120. two different judgments. And it's not hard. It's really pretty simple.

  121. And it boils down to this. In the beginning, God

  122. created the heavens and the earth. And it's amazing how,

  123. from the pulpit, that is never taught, that there are

  124. two dimensions. There's the spiritual dimension and a physical dimension,

  125. and that's what he always said. He categorically states this redundantly.

  126. I mean, I don't have time to cover how many

  127. times he says this, and he makes himself perfectly clear.

  128. I mean, look, I'm going to do something to you subliminally.

  129. You know this.

  130. You've been taught this. You've been taught the Lord's Prayer.

  131. On earth as it is in heaven. Even though in

  132. the Greek that's reversed. In the Greek it says, as

  133. in heaven. so on earth but the English has it

  134. reversed because.

  135. Well the Greek is a.

  136. Complicated language but anyway you need to know that this

  137. is the point okay the point is there's the spiritual

  138. dimension and in that dimension God the Father reigns supreme

  139. and he made Adam to reign supreme in the material dimension. Yes,

  140. he did. This is the story of the Lord Jesus Christ.

  141. The New Testament categorically declares that Jesus Christ is the

  142. ultimate Adam. He is the final Adam. And that's why.

  143. And this is what creates your reality right now. It

  144. amazes me that I learned these things as an adolescent.

  145. By the time I got to the adolescent classes, and

  146. take note, ladies and gentlemen, when I was a child

  147. growing up, we went to church five times a week.

  148. Five times a week. Five times per week. Twice on Sundays.

  149. We were literally at church four out of seven days. So,

  150. you need to understand that any biblical Christian should know

  151. these things. The whole point is there's going to come

  152. a time when God's creation will exist as he wanted it.

  153. And the only way that can happen is for the

  154. instigator of evil to be incarcerated. and for Adam to

  155. finally exercise the dominion that he is given in Genesis

    Genesis 1 chapter mention

  156. chapter 1. So, your reality is waiting for Jesus Christ

  157. to be given that authority. Now look, Genesis chapter 1

    Genesis 1 chapter mention

  158. states categorically That la-ti-da-ti, every body and every living thing

  159. was placed under Adam's dominion. That's really what it says.

  160. You subconsciously know it says that. You know that it

  161. says that.

  162. You know that.

  163. This is the purpose of Jesus Christ getting coronated. And

  164. once he's coronated, he has to make a divine procession

  165. from the spiritual world to the material world and set

  166. up his kingdom in his capital city. This is clearly

  167. stated in the Bible. We are waiting for his enemies

  168. to be made his footstool. We're waiting for him to

  169. come to this planet and fulfill his role as the

  170. real Adam. This is literally what's creating your reality. We're

  171. waiting for this to happen. If you thought eschatology was

  172. about something else, it immediately tells me you're confused. You

  173. don't even understand Your reality, no more than a goldfish

  174. understands they're in an aquarium. And that when they look

  175. at you and when you come up to the fish

  176. tank and you sprinkle the food on the top and

  177. they see you, they think you're in water as well.

  178. And the reason why that is, is because you're biblically illiterate.

  179. That's the problem. One thing I can assure you, once

  180. you become biblically literate, it is then that the Holy

  181. Spirit can move in you and can stir you into

  182. becoming born again. And this has got nothing to do

  183. with your priest, your bishops, your preachers, your pastors. The

  184. last thing on earth they want to happen is for

  185. you to be born again.

  186. It really is. So, That being the case, let's read about.

  187. The great white throne judgment from John chapter 5. I'm

    John 5 chapter mention

  188. going to start in verse 18 and just so you

  189. can understand the situation, so you can understand what's going on.

  190. Reading from the New King James Version. Therefore the Jews

  191. sought all the more to kill him because he not

  192. only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was

  193. his Father, making himself equal with God. I'm going to

  194. stop right here. That's not what Jesus was saying. Jesus

  195. was saying to them, he was Adam. Let that sink in.

  196. Jesus Christ was saying, no, God made me. I had

  197. no father. I'm like Adam. Adam didn't have a father either.

  198. This is what Jesus was saying to them, that he

  199. was Adam. that he did not come from the seed

  200. of a man. He was just like Adam. That is

  201. a true statement. He did not come from the sexual

  202. union of Joseph with Mary. He is the only one

  203. that has ever been born who was like Adam. Let

  204. me get a drink here. Alright, verse 19. Then Jesus

  205. answered and said to him, Most assuredly I say to you,

  206. the son can do nothing of himself, but what he

  207. sees the father do For whatever he does, the Son

  208. does in like manner. For the Father loves the Son

  209. and shows him all things that he himself does. And

  210. he will show him greater works than these that you

  211. may marvel. What was Jesus saying? Do you remember who

  212. named all the animals? You've forgotten, haven't you? You really

  213. have forgotten. You really don't know why Jesus just said

  214. what he said, do you? You really don't know. You

  215. have forgotten that this is exactly what the Lord did

  216. with Adam. He made all the living things that God

  217. had created, he made them pass in front of Adam.

  218. Do you forget this?

  219. Have you forgot this? Let me read it for you.

  220. Genesis chapter 2, verse 18. And the Lord God said,

    Genesis 2:18

  221. it does not It is not good that.

  222. Man should be alone.

  223. I will make a helper comparable to him. Out of

  224. the ground of the Lord, which the Lord formed every

  225. beast of the field and every bird of the air,

  226. brought them to Adam to see what he would call them.

  227. Did you not catch the break? Let me read it

  228. for you again. Because you're biblically illiterate, I've confused you again.

  229. And the Lord God said, it is not good that

  230. man should be alone. I will make him a helper

  231. comparable to him. Out of the ground, the Lord God

  232. formed every beast of the field and every bird of

  233. the air and brought them to Adam to see what

  234. he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature,

  235. that was its name. So God gave names to all

  236. the cattle, the birds of the air, and every.

  237. Fish in the field.

  238. But for Adam, there was not found a helper comparable

  239. to him. These two thought processes are mingled in one.

  240. This is what Jesus was saying. But the Jews could

  241. not listen to him. They could not hear what he

  242. was saying. Verse 21. Now, I'm not trying to confuse you.

  243. Back to John, chapter 5, verse 21.

    John 5:21

  244. For as the Father raises the dead and gives lives

  245. to them, even so the Son gives lives to whoever

  246. he will. This is why he just said that, people.

  247. Don't you understand? The Jews would have been triggered. They're like,

  248. wait a minute. You're saying that you're like Adam was

  249. before God took Eve out of Abaddon's rib and made her? Yes,

  250. that's why verse 20 says what it says, and that's

  251. why verse 21 says what it says. They go together.

  252. And the Jews were just looking at him like, you know,

  253. with deer in the headlights. That duh look.

  254. I mean, like, what?

  255. Let me guess. You've never heard this from the pulpit,

  256. have you? You need to ask yourself, you need to

  257. ask yourself why, because now that I've read these verses together,

  258. now you can hear them. I have given you ears

  259. that can hear. And if this be true, at least

  260. consider my advice and start studying the Bible. Just at

  261. least consider my advice.

  262. Okay.

  263. Verse 22. I'm sorry about the cough. For the Father

  264. judges no one but has committed all judgment to the Son,

  265. that all should honor the Son just as they honor

  266. the Father. He who does not honor the Son does

  267. not honor the Father who sent him. So, this is

  268. the thing. Before I go any further, this is what's

  269. being said here. Jesus Christ separates all the righteous out.

  270. Jesus Christ judges who is a sheep and who is

  271. a goat. And all of the goats go to the

  272. Father to receive their recompense. This is what he's saying.

  273. Verse 24.

  274. Verse 24.

  275. Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears my

  276. word and believes in him who sent me has everlasting

  277. life and shall not come into judgment, but has passed

  278. from death into life. So, this is why the first

  279. resurrection is separated from the last resurrection by a thousand years.

  280. This is why. Because this is true. So Jesus Christ

  281. is saying, I'm going to take back everybody back to

  282. Adam before Eve. This is known in the New King

  283. James Version. As the restoration of all things. Apocatastasis. I'm.

  284. I'm begging you to listen to me. This makes sense.

  285. I'm not trying to confuse you. So this is saying that.

  286. If you go through the first resurrection, you don't go

  287. to the second judgment. The judgment of the unrighteous. Only

  288. the unrighteous go to the second judgment. There's two judgments.

  289. One for the righteous, and then a thousand years later,

  290. one for the unrighteous. That's what he's trying to say.

  291. Verse 25.

  292. Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming,

  293. and now is, when the dead will hear the voice

  294. of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

  295. For as the Father has loved you, in himself, so

  296. he has granted the Son to have life in himself,

  297. and has given him authority to execute judgment, also because

  298. he is the Son of Man.

  299. Now literally this is saying, the son of Adam. He's

  300. the son of God and the son of Adam, not

  301. the son of humanity.

  302. Okay? 28. Do not marvel at this. For the hour

  303. is coming in which all who are in the graves

  304. will hear his voice and will come forth, those who

  305. have done good to the resurrection of life and those

  306. who have done evil to the resurrection of condemnation. I

  307. can of myself do nothing, as I hear I judge,

  308. and my judgment is righteous, because I do not seek

  309. my own will, but the will of the Father who

  310. sent me. So all of this discord here, all this discord,

  311. is literally coming... from Genesis chapter 2. This is why

    Genesis 2 chapter mention

  312. he said the things that he said the way that

  313. he said them. Just go to Genesis chapter 2, verses

    Genesis 2:18–20

  314. 18 through 20, and you'll understand why Jesus Christ just

  315. categorically told this to the Jews face to face. He

  316. sat there and explained to them, look, you can't be saved, okay?

  317. We have to go back to the original creation that

  318. God intended, and we have to do it right. Because

  319. you were born of Adam, you're doomed. God sent me

  320. so that you can be born again in me. This

  321. is exactly how you're going to exist. Lord have mercy

  322. for a thousand years. Ladies and gentlemen, you need to

  323. understand something. The rapture happens at the resurrection. It was

  324. always called the first resurrection. For the first 300 years,

  325. it was called the first resurrection. So, if you are

  326. alive and remain, you are going to receive your anastasis anatomy. Yes,

  327. you will. You know, It amazes me that people just

  328. can't put two and two together. They don't understand that

  329. before the flood, from the event horizon of creation into

  330. the flood, people were living upwards of a thousand years.

  331. And they don't understand, well, that's why the millennial reign

  332. is going to last a thousand years. The righteous God

  333. will give a resurrected inanimate to. Resurrected all the way

  334. back to Adam's physiology. Now, what's going to be so

  335. crazy about this is there's going to be so many

  336. of us. And yet, we will exist in that world

  337. free from temptation. Because the serpent, the dragon, will be

  338. incarcerated in the abyss. All the other bad guys will

  339. already be in the lake of fire. So after a

  340. thousand years, that's when all the rest, all the rest

  341. of who? ladies and gentlemen, only the righteous will be

  342. resurrected at the return of Christ. Look, I usually try

  343. to pinpoint key figures in history. Let's talk about Adolf Hitler. Okay?

  344. I'm going to tell you Adolf Hitler's That's what I'm

  345. getting ready to describe to you Adolf Hitler's future. That's

  346. what I'm going to do. Okay? This is going to

  347. describe to you when Adolf Hitler will receive his judgment.

  348. Revelation chapter 20, verse 11. Then I saw a great

    Revelation 20:11

  349. white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose

  350. face the earth and heaven fled away. And there was

  351. found no place for them. And I saw the dead,

  352. small and great, standing before God. And books were opened,

  353. and another book was opened, which is the book of life.

  354. And the dead were judged according to their works by

  355. the things which were written in the books. The sea

  356. gave up the dead who were in it and death

  357. and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them

  358. and they were judged each according to their works. Then

  359. death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire.

  360. This is the second death and anyone not found written

  361. in the book of life was cast into the lake

  362. of fire. So, Adolf Hitler does not return with Jesus. Okay.

  363. Adolf Hitler doesn't participate.

  364. In Armageddon.

  365. Okay.

  366. Jesus returns.

  367. With those who are asleep in Jesus.

  368. The martyrs.

  369. That are dead in Christ. Their cadavers. Which are still

  370. in graves. Okay.

  371. They've been beheaded by.

  372. The false prophet. And his false God.

  373. And they're buried, right?

  374. Now, they receive resurrected bodies first. Then, after the martyrs,

  375. after they get resurrected, then we who are alive and remain,

  376. we get resurrected. Adolf Hitler doesn't. Do you understand? So

  377. Jesus Christ rules the whole thousand years without Hitler still

  378. in the grave. Do you understand? So Hitler is not

  379. judged until after the millennial reign the devil is unleashed

  380. upon the earth and he goes and tempts all of

  381. Eden's children just like he tempted Adam and Eve and

  382. everybody gets to choose. Only this time the redemption is

  383. Has already. Already occurred. And there shall be. No ransom given.

  384. Do you understand that? Jesus Christ is already sitting on

  385. his throne in Jerusalem. There is no one to provide.

  386. Those who are tempted by the devil. Once he's unleashed

  387. from the abyss. If you follow the dragon. There is

  388. no redemption. The redemption already occurred.

  389. This Gary.

  390. Guarantees that only those who show fidelity To the Lord

  391. Jesus Christ. Will enter the new creation. So the whole purpose.

  392. Is for God to get. What he created. Everything he created.

  393. Was good. It was good. And then. The insurrectionist. corrupted

  394. it all, and God never got to enjoy his own creation.

  395. Jesus Christ will provide our Father in heaven with the

  396. enjoyment of his own creation. So this usually really helps

  397. people when you use historical figures like Joseph Stalin. Joseph

  398. Stalin is not going to be judged by Jesus Christ.

  399. Did I just shock you? Did you not? I mean,

  400. how could you not know that if ladies and gentlemen,

  401. there's no way you can't know that if you'd read

  402. the Bible just once. There's no way. You've read the

  403. Bible cover to cover coming out believing that Jesus Christ

  404. was going to judge Joseph Stalin. No, he's not. Jesus Christ,

  405. and There's no further point for me to belabor this.

  406. I've already read to you the reasons provided by the

  407. Lord Jesus Christ himself. God has the right to enjoy

  408. the good creation that he created. And he's going to. So,

  409. this is why there is a great white throne judgment.

  410. And it is infinitely different than the judgment seat of Christ. So,

  411. You need to understand, Jesus Christ is exclusively going to

  412. judge his people, Israel. And you need to know who

  413. populates Israel. Sons of God and sons of disobedience. hares

  414. and wheat, sheep and goats. So once you attach the

  415. name of Christ to your life, fair warning, it is

  416. then that you will go to the judgment seat of Christ.

  417. And do not be misled. He states it very plainly

  418. that if you practice lawlessness, you will not enter his

  419. father's kingdom. That ain't going to happen.

  420. You're delusional.

  421. He states that you will never get to see his face.

  422. He will send the angels to collect you And to

  423. bundle you up together. And cast you into the fire.

  424. That's what he says. Now, by the fire, I hope

  425. you understand what he means. If you're alive and remain,

  426. you're going into the tribulation. Just so you know. And

  427. in that place, there will be a weeping and a

  428. gnashing of teeth. All right. Anybody got any questions, comments,

  429. or anything else they want to talk about?

  430. I have a question.

  431. I have an answer.

  432. Death and Hades at the Great White Throne Judgment are

  433. thrown into the lake of fire. The false prophet and

  434. the beast... are thrown into the lake and fire. Satan is.

  435. Right.

  436. What about the other angels, the fallen angels, the one-third?

  437. That's fallen Satan. And does the abyss still exist after

  438. the thousand years?

  439. What a good question. That is a very, very, very

  440. good question. That is a good question. The Bible elsewhere

  441. says that the lake of fire was made for the

  442. devil and his angels. You already know that. So I

  443. don't know why you ask me that. Yes, ladies and gentlemen,

  444. in the Bible it says that the lake of fire

  445. was made for the devil and his angels. So I

  446. don't know if Carol was just throwing me a trick

  447. question there, but in order to answer her other question,

  448. We need to turn the page. Revelation chapter 21. Listen

    Revelation 21 chapter mention

  449. very carefully. You need to listen very carefully, ladies and gentlemen.

  450. And look, I know this is hard for you to do.

  451. But just believe what I'm going to read. Because when

  452. I read it, I'll explain it to you. But if

  453. you don't believe it, I can't help you. Now I

  454. saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the

  455. first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and

  456. there was no more sea. Okay? I categorically told you

  457. how the Bible starts, right? Let me jump over there

  458. real quick and I'll read it for.

  459. You, everybody, because.

  460. If you listen, you'll hear it. But you have to listen,

  461. so take note. He told you the new heavens and

  462. new earth. Okay, so. In the beginning, God created the

  463. heavens and the earth. And the earth was without form

  464. and void. And darkness was over the face of the deep.

  465. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face

  466. of the waters. Ladies and gentlemen, darkness was over the

  467. face of the deep. The abyss is not mentioned in

  468. Revelation chapter 21. It does not get remade. The new

    Revelation 21 chapter mention

  469. creation will be free from stains. All stains. Not some stains.

  470. All stains. It will be free from stains. So, the

  471. only thing required was that you believe what Revelation chapter

    Revelation 21 chapter mention

  472. 21 stated. Now, as for Carol's other question, I'll go

  473. ahead and give you the verse. Write this down. Because

  474. I'm pretty sure Carol was just messing with me. Matthew 25, 41.

  475. Then he will also say to those on his left hand,

  476. Depart from me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared

  477. for the devil and his angels. So, any other questions

  478. or comments?

  479. Anybody?

  480. Anybody? No, that was easy.

  481. Man, I got over good.

  482. I got over easy. You know, there's been times that

  483. the question and answer session lasted more than the class.

  484. Got me in trouble a lot of times. Anyway. Okay, well,

  485. going once. Going twice. All right, going three times. If

  486. you want access to these fellowships, you need to... Go

  487. to my Patreon site and become a free member because

  488. if you don't become a free member, you can say

  489. really nasty stuff. And I don't let you do that.

  490. So you need to at least just fill out for

  491. a free Patreon membership and you can come into these fellowships.
