I haven’t post a serious topic since last month, so I decided discuss and share with you this widely and commonly used phrase but people interpreted it in different ways. I even heard different perceptions and ideas about this terrifying day, so I decided to share with you guys what I have read and learned from the Bible regarding this phrase. My opinion is merely based from the Bible.
Judgment day – what is it?
How do you picture Judgment day? Many think that one by one, billions of souls will be brought before the throne of God. There, Judgment will be passed upon each individual. Some will be rewarded with heavenly bliss, and others will be condemned to eternal torment. However, the Bible paints quite a different picture of this period of time. God’s word portrays it, not as terrifying time, but as a time of hope and restoration.
At Revelation 20:11, 12, I read the Apostle John’s description of Judgment day: “I saw a great white throne and the one seated on it. From before him the earth and the heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened. But another scroll was opened; it is the scroll of life. And the dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds.” Who is the judge described here?
Jehovah God is the ultimate Judge of mankind (Psalm 83:18). However, he delegates the actual work of judging. According to Acts17:31, the apostle Paul said that God, “has set a day in which he purposes to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed.” This appointed Judge is the resurrected Jesus Christ. (John 5:22).

Hi There!...nice post...this should really be a warning...many may have heard about "judgment day" but still disregard the thought that it may somehow be true. I really do biliv in this and honestly, I dont know how to prepare myself if ever. Caryn's right. We can never be sure when's that day gonna be (I think there's a passage in the bible saying that...) so we have to live our lives to the fullest as if by the end of the day, a "judge" will appear to set his judgment over us. That way, we may not only be prepared but also we may be chosen to be with His kingdom. And it's not just living lives to the fullest but doing things right and avoiding the wrong things. I have read some parts of the Revelation and was so terrified of what's to happen if ever. With the very huge population in the world, I think it would only be quite a few that was mentioned in the bible that God chose to save. Scary!..just try to go over the book of revelations and you will find how terrible the world would become when that day comes. Thanks for having this post..keep it up... ;)^_^
you should not be terrified
instead you should rejoice
because Jehovah God will finally
end the wick system of satan the Devil
