The scriptures are clear, “…he (God) hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness (Acts 17:31)” On that day, every soul that has inhabited the earth, from the beginning of time, will be reunited with its resurrected body to stand face to face with the Almighty and give account for the deeds done in their body. “…it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (Hebrews 9:27)”
But the phrase Judgment Day can be misleading. Actually, a judgment program has been charted for the last days. It includes the judgment of Israel (God’s covenant people), a judgment of the Gentile nations, of fallen angels, of men who don’t know God on His terms, and a special judgment for those who do. Your name is on the docket for one of these Judgment Days, and if you would familiarize yourself with each of them in the scripture, you would find that God’s judgment of evil is quite foreboding. God is holy and just by nature, and can neither tolerate nor overlook your sin. He cannot act in a way that is contrary to His character. The wages of sin is death in the spiritual realm—an eternal separation from God to be endured in the Lake of Fire that has been prepared especially for the devil and his angels.
Those who have not received God’s forgiveness through faith in His Son will stand before the Lord at the Great White Throne Judgment, described in Revelation 20. They will have nothing to offer in their defense and will be cast out of God’s presence into eternal punishment. Some might argue, “I’ll not attend any judgment; I don’t even believe in God,” but what one believes does not make it reality, and you should know that God believes in you—you are a part of His creation. Mark His Word, there will be a day of reckoning at which time you will face the Almighty all alone. You had better get prepared. “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. (Romans 5:8-9)” “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. (Acts 16:31)”
