Judgment Seat of Christ

Christ Jesus told his apostles that when he sits down on his throne in the coming Millennium they too will sit upon twelve thrones to do judging. “No one judges now except for me. Not those claiming their self righteousness. Not the Holy Angels. Not the Holy Ghosts. Not even my Father. Only I’m to be the Judge and no one else may claim that appointment, or they are accursed as liars and the vipers they prove themselves to be by their loose conduct.”

Matthew 19:28  Jesus said to them, “I assure you: In the Messianic Age, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on 12 thrones, judging the 12 tribes of Israel”

Luke 22:28-30 “You are the ones who stood by Me in My trials. I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father bestowed one on Me, so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom. And you will sit on thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel.”

Because of Christ being authorized and decreed as the appointed Judge of all Mankind by Father Yahweh, it resolves any seeming contradiction between the text that says that individuals will stand before the judgment seat of God and the verse that says they will be made manifest before the judgment seat of Christ.

In the Hebrew Scriptures, Yahweh was identified as the Judge of all the Earth.

Genesis 18:25 “You could not possibly do such a thing: to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. You could not possibly do that! Won’t the Judge of all the earth do what is just?”

And similarly in the Christian Greek Scriptures, Yahweh is called the Judge of all.

Hebrews 12:23 to the assembly of the firstborn whose names have been written in heaven, to God who is the judge of all, to the spirits of righteous people made perfect.

Romans 14:10 “But you, why do you criticize your brother? Or you, why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.”

“As Father’s vindicator of His Sovereign name, I’ve been deputized again as Michael the Archangel, and have been appointed to do the judging for Him.”

John 5:22 “The Father, in fact, judges no one but has given all judgment to the Son“

Acts 10:42 “He commanded us to preach to the people, and to solemnly testify that He is the One appointed by God to be the Judge of the living and the dead.”

Acts 17:31 “…because He has set a day on which He is going to judge the world in righteousness by the Man He has appointed. He has provided proof of this to everyone by raising Him from the dead.”

2 Timothy 4:1 “Before God and Christ Jesus, who is going to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom, I solemnly charge you.”

2 Corinthians 5:10 “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each may be repaid for what he has done in the body, whether good or bad.”

What is righteous judgment?
It is those that are declared righteous in Father’s eyes, to be spared the wrath. The judgment to live and learn “the Way.”

What is adverse judgment?
To remain under the wrath of Father. To die the second death from which there is no return. Forevermore removed from Father’s remembrance.
