When does the judgment happen?

[hobie]

.for the Believers and for the Wicked.

Rom 14:10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
Rom 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
Rom 14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

So when does this judgment happen?

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.

13 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.

14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Rom 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
Rom 14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

So when does this judgment happen?

At the very end of time as we know it

The Judgment Seat of Christ — for Believers
1. THE JUDGMENT FOR CHRISTIANS — THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST
2 Corinthians 5:10
“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ…”
Romans 14:10–12
“We shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.”
1 Corinthians 3:12–15
Believers’ works are tested by fire —
not to determine salvation, but reward.
This judgment is:
• for believers only
• before the Millennium
• not about salvation
• not about sin
• not about condemnation
• about reward, loss of reward, and evaluation of faithfulness
This is the judgment of sons, not sinners.

2. WHAT IS JUDGED FOR CHRISTIANS?
✔ Your works
Not to earn salvation — but to measure faithfulness.
✔ Your motives
1 Corinthians 4:5 — God exposes the motives of the heart.
✔ Your stewardship
Luke 19:11–27 — parable of the minas.
✔ Your faithfulness
Matthew 25:21 — “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
✔ Your love, obedience, and service
Hebrews 6:10 — God does not forget your labor of love.

4. WHAT IS NOT JUDGED FOR CHRISTIANS?
Your sins
Already judged at the cross.
Romans 8:1 — “No condemnation.”
Your salvation
Already secured.
John 5:24 — “Has passed from death to life.”
Your eternal destiny
Already settled.
John 10:28 — “No one can snatch them out of My hand.”
The Judgment Seat of Christ is not a courtroom of guilt.
It is a throne room of evaluation.

5. WHAT DO CHRISTIANS RECEIVE?
✔ Rewards
Crowns, authority, honor, responsibility in the Kingdom.
✔ Commendation
“Well done, good and faithful servant.”
✔ Inheritance
Colossians 3:24 — “You will receive the inheritance as your reward.”
✔ Glory and honor
Romans 2:7 — “Glory, honor, and immortality.”
✔ Loss of reward (not salvation)
1 Corinthians 3:15 — “He will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved.”

6. WHY DOES THIS MATTER?
Because Christians often think:
• “I’ll be judged for my sins.”
• “I’ll stand at the Great White Throne.”
• “God will replay my failures.”
But Scripture says the opposite.
Your sins were judged at Calvary.
Your salvation is secure.
Your judgment is about reward, not wrath.

The Judgment Seat of Christ SUMMARY
Scripture teaches two distinct judgments. The Great White Throne Judgment (Revelation 20) is for the lost and results in eternal separation from God. Believers do not appear there. Christians stand instead before the Judgment Seat of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10; Romans 14:10), where their works, motives, and faithfulness are evaluated — not for salvation, but for reward. Their sins are already judged at the cross, and their salvation is secure. The believer’s judgment is a moment of reward, honor, and divine commendation, not condemnation.

Could a heavenly vision give answers to your question on the Heavenly realms you will be entering:

The Judgment Seat of Christ

Without responding, I turned and started walking before I could change my mind. It was the hardest thing I had ever
done. I was in the most frightening darkness I had ever experienced. The most terrible fears rose up within me.

Soon I began to think that I had stepped into hell itself. I thought about retreating, but when I looked back I could
see nothing. The door was closed and I could not even see where it was located. Resolving that I now had to go on,
I moved slowly, praying for the Lord to help me. As I did, peace began to grow in my heart.

I then noticed that the dark was no longer cold, but began to feel comfortable. Then I started to behold a dim light.
Gradually it became a glorious light so wonderful that I felt that I was entering into heaven itself. Now the glory
increased with every step. I wondered how anything this wonderful could have an entrance so dark and forbidding.
I wanted to savor every step before taking another.

Soon the path opened into a hall so large that I felt that the earth itself could not contain it. The beauty of it could
not even be imagined by human architects. I had never experienced anything like what filled my soul as I beheld
this room. At the far end was the Source of the glory that emanated from everything else in the room. I knew that
it was the Lord, and I was a little bit afraid as I began to walk toward Him. I did not even think about how great the
distance was. It was all so wonderful that I felt that I could walk forever and enjoy every step. In earthly terms,
that somehow did not relate here, it would have taken me many days to reach the throne.

My eyes were so fixed on the glory of the Lord that I had walked a long time before I noticed that I was passing
multitudes of people who were standing in ranks to my left (There were just as many to my right but they were so far
away that I did not notice them until I reached the throne). As I looked at them I had to stop. They were dazzling,
more regal than anyone I had ever seen. Their countenance was captivating. Never had such peace and confidence
graced a human face. Each one was beautiful beyond any earthly comparison. As I turned toward those who were
close to me they bowed in a greeting as if they knew me.

"How is it that you know me?" I asked, surprised at my own boldness to ask such a question of them.
"You are one of the saints who is fighting in the last battle," a man close by responded. "Everyone here knows you,
and all of those who are now fighting on the earth. We are the saints who have served the Lord in the generations
before you. We are the great cloud of witnesses who have been given the right to behold the last battle. We know
all of you, and we see all that you do."

I then noticed someone I had known on earth. He had been a faithful believer, but I did not think he had done
anything of significance. He was so physically unattractive on earth that it had made him shy. Here he had the
same features, but was somehow more handsome than any person I had known on earth. He stepped up to me with
an assurance and dignity that I had never seen in him, or anyone, before.

"Heaven is much greater than we could have dreamed while on earth," he began. "This room is but the threshold of
realms of glory that are far beyond the ability we had to comprehend. It is also true that the second death is much
more terrible than we understood. Neither heaven or hell are like we thought they were. If I had known on earth
what I know here I would not have lived the way that I did. You are blessed with a great grace to have come here
before you have died." he said while looking at my garments.

I then looked at myself. I still had the old mantle of humility on, with the armor under it. I felt both foul and crude
standing before those who were so regal and beautiful. I began to think that I was in serious trouble if I was going to
appear before the Lord like this. Like the eagles, my old acquaintance could understand my thoughts, and he replied
to them:

"Those who come here wearing that mantle have nothing to fear. That mantle is the highest rank of honor, (the Cloak of Humility) and it is why they all bowed to you while you passed."

"I did not notice anyone bowing to me," I replied, a bit disconcerted.
"It is not improper," he continued. "Here we show each other the respect that is due. Even the angels serve us here,
but only our God and His Christ are worshiped."

The Great White Throne Judgement

How about a vision depicting the organization and cunning design of the demonic attacks wanting to send you to the fires of hell:

The Evil Army

I saw a demonic army so large that it stretched as far as I could see. It was separated into divisions, with each
carrying a different banner. The foremost and most powerful divisions were Pride, Self righteousness,
Respectability, Selfish Ambition, and Unrighteous Judgment, but the largest of all was Jealousy. The leader of this
vast army was the Accuser of the Brethren himself. I knew that there were many more evil divisions beyond my
scope of vision, but these were the vanguard of this terrible horde from hell that was now being released against the
church.

The weapons carried buy this horde had names on them: the swords were named Intimidation; the spears were named
Treachery; and their arrows were named Accusations, Gossip, Slander and Faultfinding. Scouts and smaller
companies of demons with such names as Rejection, Bitterness, Impatience, Un-forgiveness and Lust were sent in
advance of this army to prepare for the main attack. I knew in my heart that the church had never faced anything
like this before.

The main assignment of this army was to cause division. It was sent to attack every level of relationship-churches
with each other, congregations with their pastors, husbands and wives, children and parents, and even children with
each other. The scouts were sent to locate the openings in churches, families or individuals that rejection, bitterness,
lust, etc., could exploit and make a larger breech for the divisions that were coming.

The most shocking part of this vision was that this horde was not riding on horses, but on Christians! Most of them
were well-dressed, respectable, and had the appearance of being refined and educated. These were Christians who
had opened themselves to the powers of darkness to such a degree that the enemy could use them and they would
think that they were being used by God. The Accuser knows that a house divided cannot stand, and this army
represented his ultimate attempt to bring such complete division to the church that she would completely fall from
grace.

The Prisoners

Trailing behind these first divisions was a vast multitude of other Christians who were prisoners of this army. They
were all wounded, and were guarded by little demons of Fear. There seemed to be more prisoners than there were
demons in the army. Surprisingly, these prisoners still had their swords and shields, but they did not use them. It
was shocking to see that so many could be kept captive by so few of these little demons of Fear. These could have
easily been destroyed or driven off if the prisoners had just used their weapons.

Above the prisoners the sky was black with vultures named Depression. These would land on the shoulders of a
prisoner and vomit on him. The vomit was Condemnation. When the vomit hit a prisoner he would stand up and
march a little straighter for a while, and then slump over, even weaker than before. Again, I wondered why the
prisoners did not simply kill these vultures with their swords, which they could have easily done.

Occasionally a weak prisoner would stumble and fall. As soon as he or she hit the ground, the other prisoners would
begin stabbing them with their swords, scorning them as they did so. They would then call for the vultures to begin
devouring the fallen one even before they were dead.

As I watched, I realized that these prisoners thought that the vomit of condemnation was truth from God. Then I
understood that these prisoners actually thought they were marching in the army of God! This is why they did not kill
the little demons of fear, or the vultures-they thought these were messengers from God! The darkness from the cloud
of vultures made it so hard for these prisoners to see that they naively accepted everything that happened to them as
being from the Lord.

You can see by the description, the power of unrepentant sin in our lives. There is no defense when you are completely blinded.
