The Book of Revelation prophecies that at the end of the Great Tribulation, Jesus will come with His saints in power and great glory to rule and reign and judge the sins of the world.

Revelation 20 sets the scene of the final judgement, when God settles the score and judges the sins of those who are not in Christ Jesus.

“Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away…And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened…” (Revelation 20:11-12).

Whether we believe in Him or not, we will all meet Jesus Christ. He is unavoidable; He cannot be deceived, disputed, or discredited.

Adrian Rogers says, “If you don’t meet Him as Savior, you will meet Him as Judge.”

Not one sin has escaped God’s knowledge; every sin will be accounted for—secrets that have been repressed will be revealed.

“And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books” (Revelation 20:12).

Like any earthly courtroom, the evidence and the defense will be presented, and then the verdict will be handed down. And what waits at the end of a Christless life is a sure and severe eternity in Hell.

 And if anyone’s name was not found recorded in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the Lake of Fire. (Revelation 20:15)
