3.1 Eternal
It is called Eternal Judgment because the sentence passed is fixed for all eternity. Upon the execution of
the sentence, the penalty received is also for all eternity.
Intermediate Period
Satan and the fallen angels are awaiting for the execution of their sentence. They only have a short
time (Rev 12:12). They have no part in the salvation plan of God. Jesus said’ “the ruler of this world .
. . has nothing in Me.” (John 14:30)
At the start of the 1,000- year reign of Christ, satan will be bound. After the 1,000 years, he will be
released from his prison, (Rev 20:7) for a while and then he will be cast to the lake of fire. (Rev 20:10)
Intermediate Period
God gave man a GRACE period between the passing of the sentence and the execution of the sentence
because "He is not willing that any should perish but that all come to repentance.” (2 Pet 3:9). During
this period, man can be saved through faith in Christ Jesus. The “old man” (sinful nature) is
condemned already. Christ, crucified, provides death to this “old man”. Christ, resurrected, provides
life to the new man. (Rom 6:6-8)
“Through one Man’s (Christ’s) righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting unto justification
of life”. (Rom 5:18)
NOTE:
Wood, hay, and stubble will be burned. The New Jerusalem will have no use for these kinds
of materials. (Rev 21)
“Those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation” . (John 5:29)
The final destination of all the wicked dead is the lake of fire. (Rev 20:15)
