We have our work cut out for us. Our first topic is the resurrection of the dead and that's on page 71. The resurrection of the body. Some obvious non-controversial points, I might just skip over in order to give time for you to ask questions at the end. The timing of the resurrection is at the end of the age. I don't think I need to read verses on that, do I? The verses are listed in front of you. After the second coming of Christ, likewise, the resurrection will occur. That's a very common place in Christian theology. The matter of stages varies according to some other matters. There's one stage, a one stage resurrection according to awe and post-millennialism. Historic premillennialism has two stages in the resurrection. And dispensational premillennialism, as we examined last week, has three stages. The scope of the resurrection is universal. I'll just tap into one verse, John 5, where Jesus, after speaking about spiritual resurrection, says, do not be amazed at this, John 5, 28, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out. As always, we have to interpret awe or any other word in its context. The awe here is further explained as those who have done good will rise to live and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned. The awe is thus the good and the evil, the just and the unjust. The scope of the resurrection is thus universal. The nature of the resurrection body is where we want to spend a little bit of time. The most important thing to emphasize is this principle that there is both continuity and discontinuity with the present body. It is our bodies that will be raised. Romans 8 and 11 speaks to this when it says, if anyone and the verse 9, Romans 8 and 9, if anyone does not have the spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness. And if the spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, Romans 8 and 11, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his spirit who lives in you. God will raise our bodies, our bodies which are now dying bodies, kind of a more of a thought, mortal bodies, he will raise those same bodies from the grave. This notion of continuity between our present bodies and our resurrection bodies is further underscored by the principle in 1 Corinthians 15 that Christ the first fruits has been raised from the dead. 1 Corinthians 15, 4, in summarizing the gospel which was spoken of in verses 1 and 2, he says in verse 3, for what I received I passed on to you as a first importance that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures that he was buried and that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures. He was buried, he was raised, it's the same Jesus Christ who was buried who was raised and verses 21 and 20 and 21 say, but Christ first Corinthians 15, 20, but Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died, who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a human being. The logic seems irresistible, Christ is the prototype, he's the first fruits and it is the same body of Jesus that was put to death that lives again. 1, compare John 2, destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up and there we read he was speaking of the temple of his body, likewise John 10, he has authority to lay down his life and to take it up again, there is continuity. We will not be able to answer every question. I once had a, I'll call him a chubby fellow in a class who was who insisted he did not want his same body in the resurrection. I assured him we could trust the Lord for some of those matters, but I can't answer all those kinds of things. We're going to be recognizable. We'll be the same. Will our infirmities be done away? I think it's safe to say yes. Will we all be a perfect height and weight? I don't know. I really don't know. But two points we have to make to do this right. First of all continuity and Jesus is indeed the prototype. Secondly, discontinuity. There is a sameness, there is also a dissimilarity, a difference. What do you mean? It's all on the positive side. It's a difference, a bunch of differences that make us, that will make us better off. The resurrection body will be imperishable. It will be glorious, powerful, and immortal. Let's begin with Philippians 3. Two great passages on this. The primary one is 1 Corinthians 15 to be sure, but Philippians 3 the last two verses pertain to this matter. Our citizenship is in heaven, a very meaningful expression to the Philippians who were a Roman colony and who had been given Roman citizenship. They understood that expression. Even as they were separated from Italy and yet were considered Roman citizens, so they're separated from heaven and their citizenship is in heaven, he says. We eagerly await a savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body. First of all, we're talking about a supernatural transformation. It is by Christ's omnipotent power that the discontinuity will affect the discontinuity. It's the power of God that will make us new, that will make us better. The simple fact is, although we'll be the same persons, we are not presently equipped to live forever because we do have the anomaly of having eternal life that is life that pertains to the age to come in mortal bodies, in dying bodies. I know in your 15 and 20 and 25, you don't think so, but long about 40, at least the dawn starts to break. I won't go in any more in my own aches and pains there. I'll give you an organ recital, but it gets harder, I understand, and I'm not sure I want to live to be a hundred. I think it'll be better to enjoy life to the fullest than I don't know, I don't want to pick an age, but you know what I'm saying? But it's not going to always be that way. The omnipotent Christ will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body. What's a glorious body like? It is like the resurrection body of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is filled with glory, present bodies, experience, shame. When we use them as instruments of sin, we have all seen beautiful men and women. Beautiful creations of God using their mouths and bodily members to curse God, to rail against other human beings, to do wicked things, to hurt others. That is just a travesty. That's like taking a beautiful work of art and just defacing it with knives and throwing buckets of pain on it. You with me? It's a terrible thing. Well, in that day our weak bodies will be made powerful. Our lowly bodies will be made glorious. They are lowly also in the sense that we have great limitations because of the curse, because of the fall. Let's go to 1 Corinthians 15 where we get much more information. Notice these contrasts. 1 Corinthians 15, 42 and 43. So will it be? This plugs back into the preceding context where he uses an illustration from God's creation to talk about the resurrection body. And here the principles of continuity and discontinuity are illustrated by seed to plant, if you will. When you sow, verse 37, you do not plant the body that will be, but just the seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. The seed you plant is a wheat, is a kernel of wheat, if you're going to get wheat, continuity. That is not the emphasis here. We're talking a kernel gives you wheat. What a difference. Who would have funcate looking at the seed that you're going to get that? It's wonderful to involve children in gardening. And one of our favorite things is to plant sunflowers because of the tremendous growth. And you can just illustrate the principle of growth as the thing breaks the soil, starts to come up. And if you do it weekly, a little child especially can say, look Daddy, your mommy, it's up to my knees, it's up to my waist, it's up to my head. It's up to Daddy's head and on it goes, that's tremendous. But you don't get that from planting other types of seeds. Two of the bulbs, you get it from planting sunflower seeds with me. Continuity. A good grief. A big sunflower smiling at you in the end, there is discontinuity. In the same way, even as beautiful flowers and plants come from little seeds. So there's going to be, so verse 42, will it be with the resurrection of the dead? The body that is sown, he pursues that metaphor now. The body that is sown in death is the sense. It's perishable. Sure it is. It perishes. It decays. Believers' bodies are not exempt from that decay. It is raised imperishable to decay no more. Our bodies will be equipped, will be fitted for everlasting life with God on the new earth. You say, I can't conceive of it. That's okay. Who said that your ability or mind to conceive of things is the basis for what we believe. It isn't. Frankly, I can't exactly conceive of creation either, but I believe it. And just because we can't imagine the resurrection of the dead doesn't mean anything. Let's adjust our imaginations to God's truth. It is sown the body in death. In dishonor, it is raised in glory. Here is a great person who has been a blessing to other people who has faithfully served God. And now he and she has endured some years of suffering and so forth and has died in one's 80s. Okay. There's a certain feebleness to that. You with me. There's a certain remembering the person in the prime of life and seeing it now whereby death is a dishonorable thing. You with me? It's a dishonorable discharge, if you will. You say, she deserved better. Well, she will get better because although our bodies are sown in dishonor, they are raised in glory. It is sown in weakness. No matter what age in the prime of life, if we're cut down, we're pretty weak in the grave with me. We will be raised in power. If we take seriously that Jesus is the prototype, does that mean we'll be able to pass through walls and so forth? I expect so. I guess so. He is the first fruits. It is sown a natural body. It is raised a spiritual body. That's the next point. But bottom of 71, here's the discontinuity. Continuity, it's the same body. Discontinuity. Instead of being perishable, it'll be imperishable. Instead of being lowly flippians three, it'll be glorious. Instead of being weak, it'll be powerful. Instead of being mortal, it'll be immortal and so forth. Question. What's a spiritual body? The term itself could mean a non-material body, but that's impossible that that is the sense in 1 Corinthians 15. How do you say that? Because the chapter is talking about the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. It makes me angry when liberals appeal to the Bible. It seems to me that it would be more honest by not appealing to the Bible at all, but when they quote from 1 Corinthians 15, and when they quote flesh and blood shall not inherit the kingdom of God, to try to prove that there's no resurrection from the dead, I have to admit it makes me mad. Because the chapter is about the resurrection of the dead. The verse must not be taken to mean there's no resurrection, but that again a transformation will take place. What does verse 43 then mean? It is shown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body doesn't mean immaterial, it rather means spiritual slash material, it's spiritual because it is dominated by the Holy Spirit. It is transformed by the Holy Spirit, controlled by the Spirit to such a degree that it is made fitting for the coming age. Our present bodies are not that way. We have eternal life in mortal bodies. We have that which pertains to the age to come in bodies that are afflicted with the results of the curse and that very much pertains to this age. We are that contradiction in terms. We ourselves are already and not yet, but in that day we will be saved in both soul and body and that involves God the Holy Spirit having His way with our bodies so that they could be described as spiritual bodies. It doesn't mean non-physical, it means if you will spiritual slash physical bodies utterly transformed by the spirit of God. I can't say more, I can't tell you about your problem with acne or something else, I suppose that would go away or other matters. I guess we are just guessing, but I do find the discontinuity paradigm to be very helpful and for giving us real hope concerning the age to come. Questions or comments, Tim? Yes, it's a seeming contradiction. The question is, Hukama says correctly that in one place Jesus after resurrection ate fish and in 1 Corinthians 6 it says food is for the body and I got the quote mixed up. But God is going to destroy both of them, both the stomach and the food or something which I don't know if it means we are not going to have any stomachs literally. We are not going to eat, we are not going to eat presumably Jesus didn't need to eat but he was still able to eat. What does that say about restaurants and so forth? I can't imagine so I will leave that one. But I would say he didn't need, we don't get the idea that he was going to be tired anymore and needed to sit down by any more whales and rest but that he would need to eat or drink. Apparently he was able to so will we, I will not drink any more of this fruit of the vine until my father's kingdom. Maybe we'll eat and drink for Mary men and through the glory of God. I don't know but it isn't a parent contradiction. It need not be taken as a real one if you say he didn't have to eat but he chose to eat. It's not hard to see why there to prove to his disciples that he indeed was not a ghost, just a disembodied spirit but that he was embodied, he was raised from the dead. Yes sir, that's a very good point. In Revelation 22 we read of the tree of life bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. The question is how literally are we to take these things? Is not the implication that people will eat of the fruit of the tree of life? I would think so. That's a good question. I could see that being taken literally and that people will and that has been taken by some to be kind of a sacrament of eternal life. But the thought is perhaps it won't be necessary for the sustaining of physical life but it'll be to the glory of God in celebration of eternal life. I have to confess some ignorance and not having thought about that particular question before. Yes, it's a good question. I wish I had a better answer. Scenario, a true story is told of a pastor's two-year-old son or daughter, two-week-old child who died. Another kid, often these kids asked these hard questions, said daddy is a little baby going to grow up in heaven. I don't know if the Bible says, explicitly. As I think about this, it raises lots of questions in my mind. I have more questions than I have answers for. I would have to thank heaven will involve fulfillment for everybody. Being two weeks old I think would hardly give the two-week-old fulfillment. I know some ladies who might enjoy that. And then too, I don't know. I guess I just don't know. I would say we can trust God to do right by all of us. Well, those who died at 100 and feeble, will they be 100 and feeble? They won't be feeble. Will they come back in the prime of their life? Maybe so. What is that? I can't answer. God will do right if I can say that for each of us. I suppose in my own imagining, I see embryos and so forth and little tiny babies as developing so that they can enjoy. But I'm speculating based upon some biblical principles of heaven being best or whatever. Would it be best for us to be children perpetually? I don't know. I don't know what it's going to be like to be a child on the new earth. On the other hand, we speculated about this in my eternal destiny seven hour a little bit. I suggested that something would be missing if there were no children. So I don't have answers. God will do right to be sure. Let me move on with your permission to the topic of the last judgment. Again, some of these preliminary matters are just commonplace. The timing is at the end of the age. It is after all the last judgment. I think we don't need to turn. It's after Christ's second coming. Son of Man will come in his glory, Matthew 2531. Sit on his glorious throne. The nations will be gathered before him. He'll separate them as a shepherd separates his sheep and the goats. It's sufficient. It'll be after the resurrection of the dead. Matthew is not debated among Christians. It is before the new heavens and the new earth, 2 Peter 3 verses 7 and 13. All of that is common enough. Let me talk about the purposes of the last judgment because we do need to work at this point. And I apologize. My order is not good here. Instead of 1, 2, 3, 4, I'd like you to put in the order on your page. 2, 1, 4, 3. That is going from top to bottom. 2, 1, 4, 3. This is not the Missouri Lottery numbers for tonight, folks. 2, 1, 4, 3. That is the first. Let me start with God. I need to rearrange these notes. The chief purpose of the last judgment is to display the sovereignty, righteousness, and glory of God. They're not in any special order. Perhaps it should be glory, righteousness, and sovereignty, or glory, sovereignty, and righteousness. I'm going to look at some of these passages because this is not common knowledge. As in so many other areas, we tend to leave God out when we think about this. And our thoughts turn to human beings, which is fine, but we can't leave God out. Romans 2 5 speaks to hypocrites, but because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God's wrath when his righteous judgment will be revealed. God will give to each person according to what he has done. The last judgment will reveal the righteous judgment of God. That is why I added the word righteousness to this. The first purpose of the last judgment, first and importance since God is the most important being in the universe, the supreme being. Purpose 1 is to display the glory, sovereignty, and righteousness of Almighty God. The day of his wrath will be that time when his righteous judgment will be revealed. God will set wrongs right. And whether justice has been done on earth or not, justice will be done uniformly in that day. That is God's righteousness will be glorified, which means God will be glorified. Revelation teaches this in various places too. Revelation 11, 15 and 16. Revelation has some sayings we're not comfortable with. I would suggest we adjust our emotions to the truth of God as well. 24 elders and others are falling on their faces and worshipping God and saying, we give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, verse 17, the one who is and who was because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign. The nations were angry and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead and for rewarding your servants, the prophets, and your saints and those who reverent your name, both small and great, and for destroying those who destroy the earth. God is worshipped. Why? For rewarding His people. It is true. But He is also worshipped and thanked for reigning with His power and for judging the dead. It's a hard saying. I admit it. Likewise, 15 of Revelation, chapter 15, 3 and 4. The context here is the seven last plagues with them. God's wrath is completed, the victors over the beast and so forth, saying the song of Moses, great and marvelous are your deeds and the song of the Lamb. Looks like old and new testaments are in harmony and fulfillment here. Song of Moses, song of the Lamb, great and marvelous are your deeds. Lord God Almighty, just and true are your ways, king of the ages. Who will not fear you, O Lord, and bring glory to your name for you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed. This is God's wrath revealed in these seven last plagues and He has praised for His great and marvelous deeds. For His justice, glory, verse 4, holiness, verse 4, righteous acts, verse 5. So my notes come from an accumulation of the teaching of these various places. Revelation 16, 5 and 6, an angel says, you are just in these judgments. You who were are and who were the holy one because you have so judged. For they have shed the blood of your saints and prophets. You have given them the blood, you have given them blood to drink as they deserve. And I heard the altar respond, yes, Lord God Almighty, true and just are your judgments. So I suggest we consider the last judgment from a theological perspective as first of all having to do with God. And the revelation of His attributes, at least His glory, righteousness, power, truth and sovereignty, will be displayed. Also His grace will be displayed for His people. Second purpose, which is the first listed here, and it goes with the last one. But number two is negative. The purpose of the last judgment is not to determine who will be saved and who will be lost. That is determined before death, John 3, 16 to 18, depending upon people's response to the gospel of Christ. The one who does not believe has been condemned already, John says, the one who has believed will not be condemned. So we are not saying God is determining people's faith at the last judgment. Okay, number two, which is the first on the list, go down to the fourth one, which now becomes number three. Sorry about that. He doesn't determine people's faiths. He assigns those faiths. So the purposes of the last judgment are to display the glory of God number one. Not to determine who will be saved and lost, but number three, to assign the final destinies to human beings. We've already read the John 5 passage. We're at the voice of the Son of Man, those who are in their graves will come out. Those who have done good to everlasting the condemnation, those who have done... Sorry, those who have done good to everlasting life, good grief. There has a funny theology. Those who have done evil to condemnation. Don't quote me on that one. Four is number three from the top, to reveal degrees of reward and punishment. I added a few pages on degrees of punishment. Was that in a section you read for the night? Somebody, do me a favor. Ed, would you get me a copy of my book out of that box? I don't want to walk outside of the camera sphere here. Thank you very much. I added this right near the end, because people were asking me that. Now, you'll be covering this, won't you? And I said, gulp, I wasn't planning to. So I quickly won 98 to 200. I'm not going to read it to you, but the Bible does teach. It's hard to understand, but the Bible does teach degrees of punishment. Yes, you did read that part. I'm surprised you didn't remember that. The Bible does teach degrees of punishment. W. G. T. Shed, at the end of the last century, said correctly, it seems to me, in answer to the objection, wait a minute, how can it be degrees of punishment, if hell lasts forever for everybody? He said, infinite duration of punishment is compatible with different intensities of suffering. And it is true. And it is true. How can I conceive of the rewards of the righteous? There is friendly disagreement on our own faculty. Some do not think they're going to be rewards. Others of us, like myself, think the Bible teaches it. I can't conceive of it very well. The best I can do is to say maybe some of those parables, about the five cities and ten cities and 20 cities, maybe they're more literal than we thought. Certainly the notion of a new earth would allow for such for culture and for responsibilities. I don't know. I do know being in hell is a terrible thing. It's not an easy street for anybody. So it is terrible, more terrible and most terrible is how I say it. Likewise, being with the Lord on the new earth is wonderful. Could it be even more wonderful and most wonderful? Maybe so. Is that going to be jealousy then in the new earth? Well, I'd be jealous that Ryan Chapel has a hundred cities and I have a couple. No. In that day, we will rejoice. Understand? We will rejoice in the good gifts of God. And in the Lord's blessing on one another. I mean, even as we do now on our best times, right? They're always mingled with a little bit of jealousy or pride. Your self-pity or something. In that day, we will be perfectly satisfied. We will truly rejoice in God's gifts to His people and in what He accomplished through them. So I can conceive of that. Once again, my question is not my ability to conceive. It's what does the Bible teach? It seems to teach. It's not the major accent, but it seems to teach degrees of punishment. It's not the major accent, but it seems to teach degrees of reward. I accept it and I do my best to try to understand it. Did I see a hand out there? Yes. Yes. Okay. Let me just address that one since the first matter it was. You said it was cleared up already. The question is, according to second Peter 3.7, it speaks of the destruction of ungodly men. How does that sound like annihilationism, frankly? One of our students has said. The destruction means things don't exist anymore. How does that swear with eternal punishment, with eternal fire? I will grant you, in itself, by itself, that verse and many others, that use what we call the vocabulary of destruction, perishing and so forth, could be understood as teaching exactly what you suggest, as you have said. They could be understood to teach. Sensation of existence. Okay. The question is, should they be so understood? The answer is no. They certainly shouldn't. Give me an example, you say, of the Bible using that vocabulary of eternal punishment. I'll be happy too. Revelation 17 speaks of the beast going to his destruction. Okay, word destruction. Revelation 17.8, Revelation 17.11, he is going to his destruction two times. Revelation 17.8.11 says the beast is going to his destruction. According to Revelation 19, that destruction is means this. Revelation 19.20, but the beast was captured and with him the false prophet, that skipping down, the two of them, Revelation 19.20, the last sentence. The two of them, beast and false prophet, plainly, are the antecedents. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. I hope this doesn't sound like a puzzle or something. Revelation 17, twice speaks of the destruction of the beast, verses 8 and 11. Revelation 19.20 carries the storyline further along, and speaks of the beast and false prophet being thrown alive into the lake of fire and brimstone. Revelation 2010 says, 2010 is the last in the sequence. I'm just following through the Revelation's further description of the beast destruction. Revelation 2010, and the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever. I thus conclude the beast's destruction, twice spoken of in Revelation 17, involves eternal conscious torment, Revelation 2010. If you want to know how the beast ended up in that lake, that's 1920. So by themselves, the passages using the vocabulary of destruction could be taken to teach the destruction of the wicked in the sense of their eradication so that they no longer exist. If you ask me, should those passages be so taken, my answer is no, because sometimes the Bible uses that very vocabulary to speak of eternal punishment, but even more importantly, some passages I count nine or ten of them are plain, it seems to me, in teaching that there's no end to the punishment of the wicked. Well, therefore, how do I define destruction in that regard? It's not hard. It means the forfeiture of all that is worthwhile in human existence. We use that kind of terminology regularly. As when we talk about one athletic team destroying another one, we mean a route. We mean a great victory. Well, this is going to be a great loss. Okay, a great loss. It means to be rejected by one's maker and to instead of the everlasting bliss that God's people will be as testaments to His grace, we're talking an everlasting horror show as people made in the image of God, made for God in that sense will forever be against God and suffer the wrath of God. It is incomprehensible, it seems to me, in its fullness, circumstances of the last judgment. God will be the judge. This is evident in Scripture. I am trying to save time to leave you time for questions at the end. God will be the judge. In some places, the sun will be the judge. So in John 5, we read, the Father has entrusted all judgment to the Son. I thus conclude the Father and the Son and I would surmise the Holy Spirit will be the judges. It will be the judge. Does the Scripture ever explicitly say the Holy Spirit is the judge? I don't think so. I don't know. But since God is three and one and is inseparable seems to me to be something I can't deny. But the emphasis is on the judgment of the Son as well as of the Father. That answers the question, who will judge? Answer is God. Who will be judged? Angels, the wicked angels and all human beings. First, Corinthians 6, 2 and 3 says, Do you not know that we will judge angels? What exactly that means? I'm not sure. It speaks of believers being present not only present in the judgment but in some sense active. Does it mean we say yes and amen to the judgments of God? Maybe so. Is it more active than that? I don't know. It's rather something rather exceptional. But surely angels are judged. I'll just cite a passage that's not here because you'll recognize it. Matthew 25 and 41 in that place, Jesus says, To the goats, depart from me, you wicked. Into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. Matthew 25, 41. All human beings will be judged. The righteous and the wicked will appear before the judgment of God. The righteous will be vindicated. The wicked will be sentenced to their doom. What is the basis of judgment as the next question? Answer, judgment will be based on thoughts, words and deeds. Wait a minute. Why won't it be based upon whether somebody believed the gospel or not? Why won't it be based upon faith or lack of faith? Well, it seems to be tied to the justice of God. Somebody could protest. It is not fair. Now don't get me wrong. The only remedy is Christ and the gospel. But apparently from these texts, there are more than these. That is a great consistency here. People are judged according to what they have done. That is, God's justice will prevail. Is it not just of God to judge people according to what they have done? If they want to think, there's never a single protest at the last judgment. There's never a shaking in the fist of God and saying, But you didn't choose me! Or I didn't hear about Jesus! No, people want justice. And lately, it's part of the law of God on the heart. They will get justice. And when they see the Lord in that day, Revelation 20 uses this kind of language. The one on the throne, from his presence, heaven and earth, flee away. When they see the majesty of God, when their sins are shown them, there is no protest. Justice is done. The glory of the gospel is that justice was done on Calvary's cross. And that God justly saves sinners like us. But apart from Christ, if we got what was coming to us, we too would be justly condemned. Thank God that we will be justly justified in that day. Because in God's grace, He had the gospel brought to us. And by the working of the Spirit of God, we believed the gospel. I'll just give you my summaries of these texts. First Corinthians 4.5 speaks of motives. You might write the word motives next to that. First Corinthians 4.5, Matthew 12, every careless word, words by your word shall be justified, by your word shall be condemned. Second Corinthians 5.10, the things done in the body, whether good or bad. Deeds, in other words, deeds done while we were alive on earth. There is no chance after death. That is wishful thinking. Revelation 20 should be 12 and 13. Deeds. They were judged according to the things written in the books. Their deeds written in the books. Let's take a break and come back at 10 after and we'll stop at quarter of. Please take a short break so we can finish up our course together.
