data-pid="2" class="st"><strong>Judgment Day and Afterward</strong></p> <p id="p31" data-pid="31" class="qu"> 1. What is a common view of Judgment Day?</p> <p id="p3" data-pid="3" data-rel-pid="[31]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="1"></span>WHAT PICTURE does Judgment Day call to your mind? Some imagine a great throne, and in front of it a long line of persons who have been resurrected from the dead. As each person passes before the throne, he is judged by his past deeds, all of which are written down in the Judge’s book. Based on the things he did, the person is sent either to heaven or to a fiery hell.</p> <p id="p32" data-pid="32" class="qu"> 2. (a) Who has arranged for Judgment Day? (b) Whom did he appoint as judge?</p> <p id="p4" data-pid="4" data-rel-pid="[32]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="2"><sup>2</sup></span> The Bible, however, gives a much different picture of Judgment Day. It is not a day to be dreaded or feared. Note what the Bible says of God: “He has set a day in which he purposes to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1101989111/0/0" data-bid="1-1" class="b">Acts 17:31</a>) This judge appointed by God is, of course, Jesus Christ.</p> <p id="p33" data-pid="33" class="qu"> 3. (a) Why can we be sure Christ will be fair in his judgment? (b) On what basis will people be judged?</p> <p id="p5" data-pid="5" data-rel-pid="[33]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="3"><sup>3</sup></span> We can be sure that Christ will be fair and just in his judgment. A prophecy regarding him at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1101989111/1/0" data-bid="2-1" class="b">Isaiah 11:3, 4</a> assures us of this. So, contrary to popular opinion, he will not judge persons on the basis of their past sins, many of which may have been committed in ignorance. The Bible explains that at death a person is set free or released from any sins he has committed. It says: “He who has died has been acquitted from his sin.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1101989111/2/0" data-bid="3-1" class="b">Romans 6:7</a>) This means that when a person is resurrected he will be judged on the basis of what he does <em>during Judgment Day,</em> not on what he did before he died.</p> <p id="p34" data-pid="34" class="qu"> 4. (a) How long will Judgment Day be? (b) Who will be judges with Christ?</p> <p id="p6" data-pid="6" data-rel-pid="[34]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="4"><sup>4</sup></span> Judgment Day, therefore, is not a literal 24-hour day. The Bible makes this clear when it speaks of those who will share with Jesus Christ in doing the judging. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1101989111/3/0" data-bid="4-1" class="b">1 Corinthians 6:1-3</a>) “I <span id="page176" class="pageNum" aria-hidden="true" data-no="176" data-before-text="176"></span>saw thrones,” the Bible writer says, “and there were those who sat down on them, and power of judging was given them.” These judges are Christ’s faithful anointed followers who, as the Bible goes on to say, “came to life and ruled as kings with the Christ for a thousand years.” So Judgment Day will be 1,000 years long. It is the same 1,000-year period during which Christ and his 144,000 faithful anointed followers will rule as “new heavens” over the “new earth.”—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1101989111/4/0" data-bid="5-1" class="b">Revelation 20:4,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1101989111/4/1" data-bid="5-2" class="b"> 6;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1101989111/4/2" data-bid="5-3" class="b"> 2 Peter 3:13</a>.</p> <p id="p35" data-pid="35" class="qu"> 5, 6. (a) How did a Bible psalmist describe Judgment Day? (b) What will life be like on earth during Judgment Day?</p> <p id="p7" data-pid="7" data-rel-pid="[35]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="5"><sup>5</sup></span> Look at these pages. They give some idea of how wonderful Judgment Day will be for <span id="page177" class="pageNum" aria-hidden="true" data-no="177" data-before-text="177"></span>humankind. The Bible psalmist wrote of that glorious time: “Let the open field exult and all that is in it. At the same time let all the trees of the forest break out joyfully before Jehovah. For he has come; for he has come to judge the earth. He will judge the productive land with righteousness and the peoples with his faithfulness.”—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1101989111/5/0" data-bid="6-1" class="b">Psalm 96:12, 13</a>.</p> <p id="p8" data-pid="8" data-rel-pid="[35]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="6"><sup>6</sup></span> During Judgment Day those who survive Armageddon will work to make the earth a paradise. Into this paradise the dead will be welcomed back. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1101989111/6/0" data-bid="7-1" class="b">Luke 23:43</a>) What happiness there will be when families long separated by death are joined together again! Yes, how pleasant to live in peace, to enjoy good health and to receive instruction regarding God’s purposes! The Bible says: “When there are judgments from you for the earth, righteousness is what the inhabitants of the <span id="page178" class="pageNum" aria-hidden="true" data-no="178" data-before-text="178"></span>productive land will certainly learn.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1101989111/7/0" data-bid="8-1" class="b">Isaiah 26:9</a>) During Judgment Day all the people will learn about Jehovah, and they will be given every opportunity to obey and serve him.</p> <p id="p36" data-pid="36" class="qu"> 7. During Judgment Day, what will happen to those who choose to serve God and to those who refuse to do so?</p> <p id="p9" data-pid="9" data-rel-pid="[36]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="7"><sup>7</sup></span> It is under such paradise conditions that Jesus Christ and his 144,000 associate kings will judge humankind. People who choose to serve Jehovah will be in a position to receive everlasting life. But, even under these best of circumstances, some will refuse to serve God. As the Scriptures say: “Though the wicked one should be shown favor, he simply will not learn righteousness. In the land of straightforwardness he will act unjustly.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1101989111/8/0" data-bid="9-1" class="b">Isaiah 26:10</a>) So after being given full opportunity to change their ways and to learn righteousness, such wicked ones will be destroyed. Some will be put to death even before Judgment Day ends. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1101989111/9/0" data-bid="10-1" class="b">Isaiah 65:20</a>) They will not be permitted to remain to corrupt or spoil the paradise earth.</p> <p id="p37" data-pid="37" class="qu"> 8. What was the moral condition of the men of Sodom?</p> <p id="p10" data-pid="10" data-rel-pid="[37]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="8"><sup>8</sup></span> It will truly be a grand privilege to be resurrected on earth during Jehovah’s great Judgment Day. However, the Bible indicates that it will be a privilege that not all will enjoy. Consider, for example, the people of ancient Sodom. The Bible says that the men of Sodom sought to have sexual relations with “the men” who were <span id="page179" class="pageNum" aria-hidden="true" data-no="179" data-before-text="179"></span>visiting Lot. Their immoral behavior was so extreme that even when they were miraculously struck with blindness, “they were wearing themselves out trying to find the entrance” of the house to get inside to have intercourse with Lot’s visitors.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1101989111/10/0" data-bid="11-1" class="b">Genesis 19:4-11</a>.</p> <p id="p38" data-pid="38" class="qu"> 9, 10. What do the Scriptures indicate about the prospect of a resurrection for the wicked persons of Sodom?</p> <p id="p11" data-pid="11" data-rel-pid="[38]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="9"><sup>9</sup></span> Will such terribly wicked persons be resurrected during Judgment Day? The Scriptures indicate that apparently they will not. For example, one of Jesus’ inspired disciples, Jude, wrote first about the angels that forsook their place in heaven to have relations with the daughters of men. Then he added: “So too Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities about them, after they in the same manner as the foregoing ones had committed fornication excessively and gone out after flesh for unnatural use, are placed before us as a warning example by undergoing the judicial punishment of everlasting fire.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1101989111/11/0" data-bid="12-1" class="b">Jude 6, 7;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1101989111/11/1" data-bid="12-2" class="b"> Genesis 6:1, 2</a>) Yes, for their excessive immorality the people of Sodom and of the surrounding cities suffered a destruction from which they will apparently never be resurrected.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1101989111/12/0" data-bid="13-1" class="b">2 Peter 2:4-6,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1101989111/12/1" data-bid="13-2" class="b"> 9, 10a</a>.</p> <p id="p12" data-pid="12" data-rel-pid="[38]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="10"><sup>10</sup></span> Jesus too indicated that the Sodomites may not be resurrected. When he spoke of Capernaum, one of the cities where he performed miracles, he said: “If the powerful works that took place in you [Capernaum] had taken place in Sodom, it would have remained until this very day. Consequently I say to you people, It will be more endurable for the land of Sodom on Judgment Day than for you.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1101989111/13/0" data-bid="14-1" class="b">Matthew 11:22-24</a>) Jesus here was emphasizing the reprehensibility of the people of Capernaum by saying that it would be more endurable for the ancient Sodomites who, in the minds of his Israelite audience, were totally unworthy of a resurrection on Judgment Day.</p> <p id="p39" data-pid="39" class="qu">11.

But it may still be asked: Will it be more difficult for some of the resurrected dead to learn and practice righteousness than it will be for others? Well, consider: <span id="page180" class="pageNum" aria-hidden="true" data-no="180" data-before-text="180"></span>Before such “righteous” persons as Abraham, Isaac, Job, Deborah, Ruth and Daniel died, they all looked forward to the coming of the Messiah. How glad they will be during Judgment Day to learn about him, and that he is ruling in heaven! So it will be much easier for these “righteous” persons to practice righteousness at that time than for any of the “unrighteous” who are resurrected to do so.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1101989111/14/0" data-bid="15-1" class="b">Acts 24:15</a>.</p> <p id="p14" data-pid="14" class="ss"><strong>RESURRECTIONS OF “LIFE” AND OF “JUDGMENT”</strong></p> <p id="p40" data-pid="40" class="qu">12.

Rather, they are judged on the basis of what they do during Judgment Day. So when Jesus mentioned “those who did good things” and “those who practiced vile things,” he was referring to the good things and bad things that they would do <em>during Judgment Day.</em> Because of the good things they do, many of those resurrected will progress to human perfection by the end of the 1,000-year Judgment Day. Thus their return from the dead will prove to be a “resurrection of life,” for they will attain to <em>perfect life</em> without sin.</p> <p id="p42" data-pid="42" class="qu">14.

Their return from the dead will prove to be a “resurrection of judgment.” What does this mean? It means a judgment or condemnation to death. So these persons will be destroyed either during or by the close of Judgment Day.

He wrote: “I saw a great white throne and the one seated on it. From before him <em>the earth and the heaven fled away,</em> . . . And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne . . . And the dead were judged.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1101989111/16/0" data-bid="17-1" class="b">Revelation 20:11, 12</a>) So before Judgment Day begins, this present system of things made up of “the earth and the heaven” will pass away.

(<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1101989111/18/0" data-bid="19-1" class="b">2 Timothy 4:1</a>) In his vision John saw how they are judged. “And scrolls were opened,” he wrote. “And the dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds. And the sea gave up those dead in it, and death and Hades gave up those dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds.”—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1101989111/19/0" data-bid="20-1" class="b">Revelation 20:12, 13</a>.</p> <p id="p45" data-pid="45" class="qu">17.

Evidently they will be something in addition to our present Holy Bible. They are inspired writings or books that contain Jehovah’s laws and instructions. By reading these all people on earth will be able to know God’s will. Then, on the basis of the laws and instructions in these “scrolls,” everyone on earth will be judged. Those who obey the things written therein will receive the benefits of Christ’s ransom sacrifice, and they will gradually grow to human perfection.</p> <p id="p46" data-pid="46" class="qu">18.

By then all enemies will have been put out of the way. The last of these is the death inherited from Adam. It will be destroyed! Then the Kingdom becomes the property of Jehovah God. He rules it directly as King.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1101989111/21/0" data-bid="22-1" class="b">1 Corinthians 15:24-28</a>.</p> <p id="p48" data-pid="48" class="qu">20.

Remember how Adam and Eve failed under such a test, and how Job, when tested, kept integrity. But most humans that live to the end of the 1,000 years will never have had their faith tested. Before they were resurrected they were ignorant of Jehovah’s purposes. They were part of Satan’s wicked system of things; they were “unrighteous.” Then, after their resurrection, it was easy for them to serve Jehovah because of living in Paradise without any opposition from the Devil. But will these billions of humans, who are then perfect, serve Jehovah if Satan is given the opportunity to try to stop them from further doing so?

What is the result? The Bible shows that Satan is successful in turning some persons away from serving Jehovah. These will be as “the sand of the sea,” meaning that their number is undetermined. After this test is carried out, Satan and his demons, and also those who do not pass the test, are thrown into the symbolic “lake of fire,” which is the second (eternal) death.
