See a throne, not an ordinary seat of power, but a a great white throne that fills uh the vision. The whiteness is it's not soft, it's not gentle, it's the it's the white of absolute purity and and final authority, the kind of white that exposes everything it touches. Okay, seated on that throne is the one whose presence causes the earth and the heaven to completely flee. There is no place left for them. Creation itself retreats because it cannot remain in the face of the one who now judges without any veil or intermediary whatsoever. The throne stands alone in the open, and before it, before it, every human being who has ever lived is brought to stand. The dead come from every direction, the sea, the oceans give up, all of those it has held for centuries, millennia. Death and Hades release the ones they have kept for all this time. No age is missing, no rank is excused, kings and peasants, the famous and the forgotten, those who lived in the height of the little seasons' deception, and those who lived long before it be ever even began, all of them, every single one of them, all of them stand in the same place. They are not ghosts, they're not shadows, they are fully present, fully conscious, more alive than they have ever been, and completely and fully accountable. Great and small alike are there, and the distinction of earthly status means nothing in front of this throne that we're talking about. Angels move amongst them. These are not the fallen powers that operated during the little season. These are the holy ones who have remained faithful to their calling, they've remained faithful to their assignments in the divine council. Some gather the dead from the places that they have been held. Others, others, others stand as witnesses to the records that are about to be examined. The angels, their presence is orderly, it's purposeful. They are not spectators here. They are carrying out the administration of the judgment that the one on the throne has decreed. Okay? Are you seeing the picture? Nothing is chaotic here. Everything proceeds according to the perfect justice that has been waiting for this moment. Ever since the little season began to its final up until the final deception, like books are opened. Not one book, many books. These are the records of every life, every word that has ever been spoken, every action taken, everything, every action not taken, every thought entertained in secret, all of it. All of it has been kept. The books are not symbolic, they contain the actual works of each person who has ever lived. As they are being opened, the deeds of every life are brought into the light with complete accuracy. Nothing's messed up. There is no argument, there's no excuse, there are no hidden detail that can be withheld here. The examination is absolutely thorough because the judgment is final here. Another book is opened alongside the other ones. This one is different. It is the book of life. In it are written the names of those who belong to the Lamb. Okay, the names are not there because of any work that are recorded in the other books. They are there because of the Lamb, Christ's, Christ's own work on their behalf, because those because those whose names appear in there responded to Jesus in faith and continued in that faith and loyalty through the pressures and all of the deceptions of it in their entire life. Doesn't mean they didn't mess up, but for those whose names are found in the book, the works recorded recorded in the other books are examined in a different light. They are the evidence of a life that was truly joined to Christ. And for those whose names are found, are not found. The works stand alone as the record of a life lived in willful alignment with the deception and the powers that ruled during the little season and even before that. So, like one by one, one person by person, souls are brought before the throne. There is no rushing, there's no confusion. Each person steps forward under the weight of their own life. And the air itself, the air itself seems to grow heavier as their name is called, and the books are opened in front of all of them, in front of them, and and the words written there begin to speak. Every hidden choice, okay, every secret thought, every act done in darkness or in light rises from these pages. The conscience of the person, long either buried or ignored, now rises with them, with these pages. It speaks clearly, without hesitation, confirming or condemning what has already been recorded. Okay. Now, for those whose names are found in the book of life, the the conscience of that particular person testifies on their behalf. It remembers the moments that they turned away from sin, the quiet acts of faithfulness when no one was watching, and the the loyalty that they held on to, even as the deception grew really thick around them. As times got hard, they stayed loyal. The conscience does not boast of perfection here. It simply confirms that their faith was real and that it endured. For those whose names are not found in the book of life, the um the conscience turns against them. It drags forward every single moment that they knew the truth and they knew the truth was being twisted and then chose to believe the lie anyway. Um it recalls the times that they silenced its voice, the voice of your conscience, the opportunities that they walked away from, um opportunities as in following Christ, and the deliberate decisions that they made to follow the powers and the deception of the age that they that they lived in. The conscience here gives no, it gives absolutely no room for excuses. It speaks with painful, with painful, exact detail about what they actually chose, even when they tried to drown it out during their lifetime. Um, before the throne, in front of the throne, that same that same voice now accuses without mercy. The regret that follows this is deep and it's final. It is a sound of a conscience that was ignored for too long and finally then having its says its say. As the judgment moves forward, the books lay out every single work with I mean absolutely merciless clarity with while while the conscience of each person rises from within and and like a second witness, if you if you will. For those whose names are written in the book of life now, the conscience stands with them, affirming that their trust in the Lamb and Jesus was genuine. Now, for those whose names are not there, the conscience turns and accuses, dragging every hidden compromise, um, every deliberate choice out into the open. They speak in perfect agreement. There's no gap between what was done outwardly and what the heart knew uh inwardly. Now the one who is seated on the throne judges with perfect knowledge, and nothing remains hidden. So as we continue to watch the books being read, we we see the specific sins that marked the lives of those who's who the lives of those who are being removed. And some of these people had lived in sexual immorality, they lived in perversion, others had been consumed by greed, dishonesty, and the love of money. Not having money, but the love of money. Now, some had some had given themselves to hatred, um, violence, um, horrible things. Others had practiced idolatry, worshiped fallen gods, and then will and willingly followed the lies of a little season eventually. So these same sins appear in the lives of many who stand among among those whose names are written in the book of life. They too had at times committed sexual immorality. They've been they had been greedy, uh dishonest, told lies, given over to hatred at times, or turned to gods that they worshiped. But when these same sins are read from the from the books of those in the book of life, they are from the book of life, they are not held against them. Like it's not, those things are not being held against them. The record shows that they chose to seek forgiveness through Jesus and chose to turn, chose to turn from those sins in genuine repentance and then walked in newness of life by the power of the Spirit. So for those being removed, the the very same sins stand as the evidence against them because they never repented or placed their trust in Christ. The um the difference is not that one group was sinless and the other was not. Okay. The difference is what they did when with their sin when it was exposed or when the conviction came. You see? So, like we we watch as the judgment continues without haste, without confusion. The the angels move with a steady purpose as each life is examined. They're their their presence is not it's not distant, it's not weird. Some some stand close to those being judged, their faces marked with a, I mean, think about it, they're marked with sorrow that does not even and it's not going to interfere with the justice that is getting ready to be carried out. Like others, other angels keep their eyes fixed on the one seated on the throne, ready, ready to move at any command. The air around the throne, even feels thick with the weight of what's being revealed here. Nothing is being rushed, nothing, nothing is being overlooked. The the one on the throne, he remains steady and he's unwavering. He's not unfair. He's never looking away until every record has been read and every soul has been accounted for. When the last name, when the last name has been called and the final the final separation has been has been made, we see that the old order, and I mean the the order that allowed the little season to exist with all of its deception and and rebellion, and I mean everything before that too, but but that has come to its end. Now, what lies beyond is this this throne is something entirely new. So anyway, but the those whose names are not written, those whose names are not written in the book of life are removed from the presence of the throne. As they are, as they are taken away, the full weight of what is happening um presses down on the entire scene. I mean, you you can see it in your mind. We've all thought about this kind of stuff. The the humans who are being separated feel the the crushing, crushing anguish of regret. And in that moment, they see with they see with perfect clarity every opportunity they had during their life to turn from their sin and trust Jesus. Um instead, they remember, but but they they were they have to remember the warnings that they just they dismissed, right? The the truth that they they chose to ignore, the the the ways that they willfully aligned themselves with the lies and the powers that dominated the age, whichever age that they lived in. The regret is not only for the fire ahead, it's it's the death, I mean it is it's a it's a devastating realization that they had chosen, they had chosen this end for themselves, that the deception had succeeded with them, and that no excuse or hidden motive can change what is now being read from the books. You see, you see, do you see the picture that's being painted? Like some begin to beg, and their voices, they they they their voices rise in desperation, like begging for leniency, another chance for mercy, and but the response that comes is clear and it's final. It God essentially said, like you had an entire lifetime of leniency and forgiveness offered to you with Jesus open hand to accept them, and you refused it. Um experience their own ancient and final regret. They have known this day would finally get here. They watch the complete end of the rebellion that they began with when they left their proper domain. Remember that? Every single scheme that they advanced, every corruption that they spread through the centuries of their rule, and then eventually the little season, every every nation that they helped deceive is now being answered without any um without any remaining power to resist it. Now their their influence is stripped away forever. This is it. Like the chains, the chains that some that have held them since their ancient sin now lead only to like an irreversible separation from the presence of the throne. Those whose names are written in the book of life stand here. I mean, look at this. Stand and watch this removing, the separation unfold. They see the anguish and the regret on the faces of those being removed, the angels and the fallen angels and people. They see the fallen powers finally stripped of every claim and every influence that they had enacted on people. Everything is being laid bare. Every hidden motive, every secret promise, every moment of defiance or or even cowardice when needed, when it when it was needed otherwise, now is visible to all. And in that, in that moment, their gratitude for the um for the work of Jesus deepens beyond anything they had ever known before. They understand with a fresh and sobering force, force, it is a force, that this could have been their own result. They remember the times during the little season and and and eons before when the deception pressed pressed on them, and when compromise would have been um would have been easier, when it when it would have been easier, it would have been simpler to go along with the lies rather than continue trusting Jesus. They see clearly, they see clearly that without the cleansing work of Jesus the high priest, without his blood covering their failures and the spirit, then sustaining their faith through the pressures of their life, through whatever difficulty or hardship they had during that age, they would be standing in the same line of regret and removal that the other ones are in. The mercy that they receive becomes more precious as they watch what happens to those who those loved ones in their family, to those that even to those people that hated their neighbor, to those that they they didn't even know, like who didn't, those who did not persevere. Their own names in the book of life are not a um they're not a reason for pride, of course. They are they're a reason for deeper and an unspeakable thankfulness to Jesus who had secured them and and that they had continued to trust him through the very season that is now ending in this judgment. Then something shifts. From the side of the throne, holy angels bring forward a bound figure, okay? He's winged he's winged uh and terrible in his ruined, ruined beauty. A think about it, a low gasp moves through those still standing here, which is who are left are the redeemed of mankind, as they finally see him with unveiled eyes. For the first time, they truly understand who has been, and they see who has been high, who has been behind the deception, this who has been behind the suffering, who has been behind the lies of the little season. Some people cover their mouths here, others step back in horror. Even the holy angels who have not laid eyes on him for a millennia, for two millennia, whatever, they grow still at the sight of what he had become. The voice of the one on the throne turns toward, turns toward this fallen cherub. And the words that follow are not rushed. They they they they have the weight of eternity behind them. He says, You reached from my throne with hands that I formed, you who were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty, the anointed cherub who who covered, who who who you who walked among the stones of fire, and you who you were blameless until iniquity was found in you. You were clothed with every precious stone, sardis, topaz, you had you had diamond, barrel, emerald, the most beautiful stones upon you. And the the workmanship of your your tablets and of your pipes was prepared in you the day that the the day that you were created. You were the seal of perfection. You were the covering cherub, you know, you were the most glorious of all my created beings, and still it was not enough for you. You said in your heart, I will ascend to heaven. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit upon the mount of the congregation in the sides of the north. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High. God saying, You tried to lift your hand against the throne that holds all things together. You who wore the priestly stones and stood in the very presence of my glory, turned your beauty into a complete rebellion and your wisdom into destruction. You deceived the woman in the garden. You twisted my words and offered her a lie wrapped in light. And through her, you brought death into the world and then passed it down to every generation after. You deceived the nations across every single age since time began. You offered them power, you offered them pleasure and false security, and they bowed down to you. You held the kingdoms of this world in your grip and offered them to whoever would worship you, whoever would have been the knee, whoever gave you fealty. You stood before me and wagered on the faithfulness of my servant Job. And through him you wagered on all of mankind. You accused them day and night before me, saying that they only serve me because I blessed them with things, with physical things, with trinkets. You threw suffering at them like fire. You tempted them with every desire of the flesh and the eyes. You used pain, you used loss, you used death, you used confusion, betrayal, and the weight of the little season itself to break them. You whispered lies into their minds and turned brother against brother and filled the earth with complete violence, perversion, and despair. And when and when my son took on flesh and entered this world, their world, mankind's world, you rose up in open war in heaven, and you gathered your forces and fought against my my Michael and my angels, raging against the incarnation itself. Desperate, you were desperate to stop what had been promised from the foundation of the world. And still, and still. Still, they chose me. Mankind chose me through all of it. Through the suffering that you brought, through the through the temptations that you that you you crafted with your hands, through through the powers that I gave you, the deception that you spread across nations and generations. They chose me when it cost them everything. They chose me when it looked, when when the lie looked easier to them. They chose me when their own flesh cried out against it. They chose me when you had every single advantage, every kingdom, every tool of deception at your complete command. They chose me when the little season was at its darkest. And they still chose me. You have been weighed Satan. You have been measured, and you have been found wanting. Even the holding places of the dead are emptied and destroyed. Okay. Nothing, nothing that belonged to the old order is even allowed to continue. The little season, with all of all of its resets and cover-ups and strong delusions, has reached a terminus. It has reached its appointed limit, right? So like the throne has done what no human effort or hidden history could do. It has brought every hidden thing into the open, and I mean like and rendered a verdict that cannot be overturned. This is this is permanent. And so when it's finished, the weight of the judgment still hangs in the air, but ahead of it, something new begins to come through. The fire has consumed what could not remain. Okay. And what comes next stands kind of stands untouched. Like it's a new heaven and a new earth where righteousness dwells without opposition, righteousness dwells without deception, and righteousness dwells without regret. Okay. It is truly amazing that on that day you will hear the greatest thing that you will ever hear. Well done, good and faithful servant, enter into my rest. We have to endure in the meantime. Okay? That's Christ. Just think about it. You who suffer. Or we who suffer. It's almost like it's been designed into everything. Because Jesus, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, God in the flesh, the Word made flesh. What did He come to do? He came and He was born as a man and He came into suffering. He came into being He He had it tough. But He came into that and He shared that and He showed us that I'm doing it. You're gonna do it too. If you don't have to suffer in this life, thank God every day for it. But for those that do suffer, in whatever measure it is, we always compare our suffering. Well, my suffering is worse than this one, or my suffering is not, you know, it we always do these pissing contests, and we we we get lost in the weeds when we do that. But Jesus, he came into this world to suffer in order to cleanse the unrighteous for those for those that desire it. So as we walk behind him, stepping in his steps, holding his hand, trying to touch his robe throughout throughout our life, right? You walk by faith and not by sight. And one day we will see what we had faith in. We will see in the flesh. We will see what we believed in, we will see him, and that'll be a great day. So so I will say um hope you guys are doing very well. And um that would be the that's gonna be the end of this 10-part series, and then I will I'm gonna start working on the other stuff I told you about in the previous episode, and then but in the meantime, I do have some some things I'm gonna I'm gonna post, some videos I'm gonna post and um kind of as a as a small break before we start the the final leg of this whole little season thing. So I hope you're doing fantastic, guys, and uh thank you for your encouragement and um I hope that I've been encouraging to you uh in some measure. And um like I said, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email email me or write a comment. I will I will respond um as best I can. So um may the Lord bless you, and may the Lord keep you, may the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you, and may the Lord lift up his countenance to you and grant you peace tonight.
