THE GREAT WHITE THRONE
REVELATION CHAPTER 20:11-15… “And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 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. 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, and death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”

This is the most monumental scene in Scripture. For it involves the destinies of all of God’s intelligent beings. Angels, demons and man…. eternal life or eternal death. The statements made in these 5 verses are quick, profound and concise. They have been designed for impact. They are solemn and thought provoking. They leave no room for mistake. They are to be unquestionably taken as to happen literally. (Have I contemplated these Words to such a degree that I own them as Truth?)

Questions immediately come to the mind.

What does it mean that the earth and heavens of Genesis 1:1 had no place found for them, that they have “passed away”? It could simply mean that since the Majestic Holy Judge took the seat on the Great White Throne, that those corrupted inanimate things had no place in this place or its proceedings. Then an inadequate example being the “all rise” as the Judge enters and takes his seat.

Think in terms of this realm as another material realm or of matter; as the universe we are generally confined to, is a created realm. Other than the Eternal realm of the Heaven where God resides. Meaning that the Great White Throne is set in Heaven’s realm, and all intelligent beings are now to stand before Him who is upon that Great White Throne. So the moving of all beings into that realm could of made this material realm appear to John’s eye as having “…fled away…” An example of this could possibly be found in Scripture in Christ leaving this realm for that realm. “Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed through the heavens….” (Young’s literal translation of Hebrews 4:14) Meaning he did not go higher and higher until He finally reached Heaven, but that He literally passed through one realm into another.

Scripture does state that the actual dissolving and melting by intense heat of this realm is an occurrence associated with this final Great White Throne Judgment. The explanation becomes clearer then. Remove the façade and the real appears along with the new. This would explain, “..the earth and heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.” It also could explain the absence of mention of those then living not standing among the dead to be judged. They now are those of the nations inhabiting the new heaven and earth of the next chapter. [Chapter 21:1 with 24-27] The fire that falls down from heaven, and devours those enemies of God that come up in final battle against the saints and the beloved city in Revelation 20:9, is also that “…consuming fire…” [Hebrews 12:29] It dissolves the elements of the earth and its heavens, as correspondingly the fire of the lake of fire in the center of the earth now consumes the other locales of Death and Hades. Unrestrained now, it meets the fires from above, (Genesis 8:2) as suddenly all the dead are released from their dissolving restraints, and then all righteous living men are released from their clay bodies that held them to this material realm. And they are purged and reconstituted for the inhabiting of the reconstituted purged elements of the new heaven and earth. Simultaneously, ALL dead intelligent beings of the 2nd Resurrection, in a few moments, find themselves suspended upon the vast and endless landscape among the myriads before the Great White Throne Judgment. And there, far below, the lake of fire, that sea of molten glass now back within its banks, looms ominously. The only remaining trace and reminder of the dissolved ancient universe.

Scripture reveals in those other great Judgments of Genesis in its history wherein God has shown us that He does not utterly destroy or obliterate out of existence that which He has created and subsequently........
