Final judgement

Final judgement

The first reference to final judgement comes from Genesis 1:31

Ge 1:31 ¶ And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Genesis 1 is a table of contents to the rest of scripture. Each day points to a portion within the rest of the Bible. As such, Genesis 1 is a summary of the history of man without mentioning any death (the Book of Life), and we find ourselves in day six where the man (Christ) is the express image of God, and his bride (the church) is being made to be 'like' him.

The final judgement is implied in God's declaration that it was 'very good'. Currently one might suggest that all things are not 'very good'. Between now, and the end of the sixth day, something must take place for God to declare that it is very good. That 'something' is the final judgement.

Note: Because there is no death mentioned in Genesis 1, it is the Book of Life. There is no death in this world. He that is condemned is dead already. Since all men have already been condemned, they are merely walking dead men. Only those who have believed have been made alive and will not die.

Joh 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
