Title: The End of the Book Part 2
Series: Revelation-The End of the Book
Author: Jordan Easley
Text: Rev. 20:11-22:5
Have you ever had an appointment on your schedule... that you wanted to skip? Something that was coming up... that you wanted to avoid? I think we all have.
That reminds me of a conversation I had (a while back) with one of our high school boys. He said-I'm freaking out because final exams are coming... and I haven't studied... I've procrastinated all semester, and now exams are in a few days and I'm feeling the pressure.

He said-maybe I can pull the fire alarm or perhaps I can just 'get sick' and skip the exam altogether. In his mind-he thought, if I can just avoid the test, I won't have to face the reality of my failure.

There's no skipping judgment day. Whether we're ready or not, we will all stand before God. The Bible says-we can either stand confidently before God (as people who've been saved and forgiven) or we can stand condemned before God (as people who are lost).
[Hebrews 9:27] goes on to say, 28 so also Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
In other words, at the judgment-when Jesus returns-He will bring salvation to those who are saved... and He will bring judgment to those who are not...
So, get this scene-every person who's ever lived on this earth-LOST without a real relationship with Jesus-will one day stand before the Judge, (at what the Bible ...
