I saw

Then I saw a great white throne and One seated on it. Earth and heaven fled from His presence, and no place was found for them.

Many of those who sleep in the dust
of the earth will awake,
some to eternal life,
and some to shame and eternal contempt.

Do not be amazed at this, because a time is coming when all who are in the graves will hear His voice

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in Me, even if he dies, will live.

And I have a hope in God, which these men themselves also accept, that there is going to be a resurrection,

both of the righteous and the unrighteous.

For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead also comes through a man.

For we say this to you by a revelation from the Lord:

We who are still alive at the Lord’s coming will certainly have no advantage over those who have fallen asleep.

Small

A voice came from the throne, saying:

Praise our God,
all His slaves, who fear Him,
both small and great!

Stand

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 tribunal of God.

Therefore don’t judge anything prematurely, before the Lord comes, who will both bring to light what is hidden in darkness and reveal the intentions of the hearts. And then praise will come to each one from God.

For we must all appear before the tribunal of Christ, so that each may be repaid for what he has done in the body, whether good or worthless.

The books

A river of fire was flowing,
coming out from His presence.
Thousands upon thousands served Him;
ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him.
The court was convened,
and the books were opened.

And another

In the same way, the victor will be dressed in white clothes, and I will never erase his name from the book of life but will acknowledge his name before My Father and before His angels.

All those who live on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name was not written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slaughtered.

The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up from the abyss and go to destruction. Those who live on the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast that was, and is not, and will be present again.

Nothing profane will ever enter it: no one who does what is vile or false, but only those written in the Lamb’s book of life.

Let them be erased from the book of life
and not be recorded with the righteous.

At that time
Michael the great prince
who stands watch over your people will rise up.
There will be a time of distress
such as never has occurred
since nations came into being until that time.
But at that time all your people
who are found written in the book will escape.

However, don’t rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

Yes, I also ask you, true partner, to help these women who have contended for the gospel at my side, along with Clement and the rest of my coworkers whose names are in the book of life.

General references

So the Lord God called out to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”

“All of you are standing today before the Lord your God—your leaders, tribes, elders, officials, all the men of Israel,

“Is it not stored up with Me,
sealed up in My vaults?

He judges the world with righteousness;
He executes judgment on the nations with fairness.

For God will bring every act to judgment, including every hidden thing, whether good or evil.

There is nothing covered that won’t be uncovered, nothing hidden that won’t be made known.

The Father, in fact, judges no one but has given all judgment to the Son,

He will repay each one according to his works:

For each person will have to carry his own load.
