Threshold is a Peabody Award-winning documentary podcast about our place in the natural world. Each season, we take listeners on a journey into the heart of a complex environmental story, asking how we got here and where we might be headed. In our latest season, Hark, we hand the mic over to our planet-mates and investigate what it means to truly listen to nonhuman voices—and the cost if we don't. With mounting social and ecological crises, what happens when we tune into the life all around us? Threshold is nonprofit, listener-supported, and independently produced.

Final Judgment: The Great White Throne Revelation 20:11-15 Introduction: Judgment Day! We typically do not give it too much thought primarily because it is surreal , kind of like dying. We know it is coming, but since we have never experienced it, we can’t imagine it. It seems distant, almost fantasy like. But as Peter said (2 Peter 3), Judgment Day is as sure as the destruction of the world in the days of the Flood. Every second the clock ticks brings us closer to that fateful day. Jesus and all the writers of the NT warn us of it. It is what everything in our life should be about, and yet it is so easy to live with almost casual disinterest . Summing Up the Text “Judgments” began in chapters 17-19 with the judgment of the prostitute, and then of the beast and the false prophet. Then in chapter 20 the dragon himself is judged. The only judgment left is that of mankind . That this is the final judgment is evident. God appears on a great white throne, causing the earth and sky to flee with no place found for them. In other words, the present heavens and earth are no longer needed nor are they in God’s plans for the future. Jesus said, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away” ( Matthew 24:35 ). The main point of this context is not so much the righteous on the day of judgment, but the outcome of the wicked . That has been the focus since chapter 17. God is bringing justice to the wicked. As Paul said, “God is just. He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels” ( 2 Thessalonians 1:6-7 . Vs. 12 : “The dead, great and small, stand before the throne.” No one is left out. No one is exempt. “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.” ( 2 Corinthians 5:10 ) Vs. 12 : “…books were opened…and the dead were judged by what was written in the books.” Evidently, the books represent the deeds of each person, “whether they are good or evil.” Vs. 13 : “The sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them.” The “sea” is where the dragon had raised up the beast in chapter 13 and from which all the previous beasts had come in Daniel 7 . A few verses later in 21:1 , there is a new heaven and new earth and the sea is no more. “Death,” the perpetual enemy of mankind, takes the body so that it is left to decay. “Hades” claims the spirit. The main point is that all the dead are raised for the great Day of Judgment. No one can hide from the judgment of the Lamb. Vs. 14 : With all the dead raised, both death and Hades are now destroyed by being thrown into the lake of fire. According to Jesus’ Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus in Luke 16:19ff , Hades is the unseen realm of the dead. In that realm, the wicked are “tormented” and the righteous are “comforted.” In each case they are waiting for the day of judgment when the final rewards for the righteous are given and the final sentences for the wicked are given. Jesus himself “descended to Hades” ( Acts 2:27 ). He also told the thief on the cross, “Today, you will be with me in Paradise.” Therefore, “paradise” is part of Hades. The word simply means “the unseen.” It is the unseen realm of the dead. Paul refers to Paradise as the “third heaven” ( 2 Cor. 12:2-3 ) where he “heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter.” Paul also referred to his departure in death as “departing and being with Christ” ( Phil. 1:23 ). Conclusion : the “two parts of Hades” is being comforted with the Lord and being tormented without the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:21-28 describes this as the end . Everyone has been raised, all enemies are put under Christ’s feet, with death, the last enemy, being destroyed. Thus when Jesus has fulfilled his purpose in subjugating all things under God’s authority, he delivers the kingdom to God and subjects himself to the him, “that God may be all in all.” Considerations and Applications Judgment is according to our works . Romans 2:4-11 “He will render to each one according to his works: to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality , he will give eternal life; but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury…” Our “works” communicate our desires for God and his kingdom and express our thankfulness for the salvation he has given us. We prove ourselves as those who are either self-seeking or seeking for glory and honor and immortality. In other words, though salvation is by grace because there is nothing we can do to deserve the gift of God’s Son, God is not just saving us from sin, he is saving us for his glory . Paul said, “For by grace you have been saved through faith…for we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them” ( Ephesians 2:8, 10 ). To in any way suggest that we are the sons and daughters of God without fulfilling God’s purpose in us to glorify him in the world, is the essence of faith without works. Such faith is dead ( James 2:24 ). Why a final judgment? First, it reminds us that all God has done is far, far greater than what we have allowed ourselves to realize or accept. We grow up selfish, completely self-centered. Everything is about satisfying needs and pleasures and finding new things to explore and enjoy. God is not against us enjoying blessings he has provided ( 1 Timothy 6:17 ), but he does mind when his cause gets crowded out of our lives and is not our number one passion. Judgment reminds us why we are here! Judgment reminds us of the value of God’s creation and the seriousness of how our sins have destroyed all that God has done and planned. Judgment reminds us of how the world has despised the priceless sacrifice God made by submitting to the cross. The Hebrew writer explains, “How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace?” ( 10:29 ). Judgment reminds us of an eternal joy and pleasure God planned with a relationship with him that is beyond imagination. God cannot allow those who rebel, refuse to trust in him, or refuse to obey him to be a part of that eternity. Judgment reminds us that we have a choice . This is not about God “sending us to the lake of fire.” It is about us choosing to live without God! Paul said in 2 Corinthians 5:11 , “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil. Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade others.” Judgment reminds us of the vanity of all things earthly : Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 , “This is the end of the matter; all has been heard: Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole [duty] of man. For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.” (ASV) This is the conclusion after the Preacher explored every pursuit of man in life under the sun. Every one of these “life under the sun” pursuits was vanity – vapor, brief, short-lived and without eternal value. Therefore, “fear God and keep his commandments for this is the whole of man.” Fearing God and keeping his commandments is the whole purpose of man and it is what makes man whole. Conclusion : What if just one minute from now – just one minute – the last trumpet sounds and we are standing before the great white throne with the Lord God sitting on it. Now, what is this life about? One minute from now, what is it in your life that you kept saying you needed to change, but did not? One minute from now, how much will you wish you had made those changes?
