The Great White Throne Judgment, as described in Revelation 20:11-15, is a pivotal event in Christian eschatology where all the unrighteous dead of all ages are judged.[1] This judgment occurs after the millennium, following Satan's final, brief rebellion and his subsequent casting into the lake of fire.[2]
According to www.iAsk.Ai - Ask AI:
The basis for this judgment involves two primary sets of records: "books" and the "Book of Life." The "books" contain a record of the works of the deceased, serving as the basis for a just assessment of their deeds.[3] The "Book of Life," on the other hand, is crucial for determining salvation. Those whose names are not found written in the Book of Life are condemned.[4] The outcome for those not found in the Book of Life is to be cast into the lake of fire, which is referred to as the "second death."[5] This "second death" signifies an eternal separation from God, distinct from physical death, and there is no resurrection beyond it.[6] In contrast, those who participated in the "first resurrection" are eternally secure.[7]
