What Does the Bible Say About
God's Judgment?

God's Judgment will be for all Mankind

Job 34:21-24
⁽²¹⁾ For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.
⁽²²⁾ There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
⁽²³⁾ For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.
⁽²⁴⁾ He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.

Ecclesiastes 12:14
For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

Acts 17:31
Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

Romans 14:10-12
⁽¹⁰⁾ But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
⁽¹¹⁾ For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
⁽¹²⁾ So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

Matthew 12:36-37
⁽³⁶⁾ But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
⁽³⁷⁾ For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

John 5:28-29
⁽²⁸⁾ Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
⁽²⁹⁾ And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

God's Judgment is Righteous

Romans 2:5-7
⁽⁵⁾ But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
⁽⁶⁾ Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
⁽⁷⁾ To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

2 Thessalonians 1:5-9
⁽⁵⁾ Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
⁽⁶⁾ Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
⁽⁷⁾ And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
⁽⁸⁾ In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
⁽⁹⁾ Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

2 Timothy 4:8
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
 

God's Judgment is Just

John 5:28-30
⁽²⁸⁾ Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
⁽²⁹⁾ And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
⁽³⁰⁾ I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
 

God's Judgment will be Swift

Luke 17:24-30
⁽²⁴⁾ For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
⁽²⁵⁾ But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
⁽²⁶⁾ And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
⁽²⁷⁾ They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
⁽²⁸⁾ Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
⁽²⁹⁾ But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
⁽³⁰⁾ Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
 

God's Judgment Has Been Given To Jesus Christ

John 3:35
The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

John 5:22-27
⁽²²⁾ For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
⁽²³⁾ That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
⁽²⁴⁾ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
⁽²⁵⁾ Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
⁽²⁶⁾ For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
⁽²⁷⁾ And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

John 6:27
Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

2 Timothy 4:8
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
 

Many will be Shocked and Surprised at God's Judgment

Matthew 7:21-23
⁽²¹⁾ Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
⁽²²⁾ Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
⁽²³⁾ And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Matthew 22:14
For many are called, but few are chosen.

Matthew 7:13-14
⁽¹³⁾ Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
⁽¹⁴⁾ Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
 

God's Judgment is Eternal

Hebrews 6:2
Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

2 Thessalonians 1:7-9
⁽⁷⁾ And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
⁽⁸⁾ In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
⁽⁹⁾ Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

Matthew 25:41
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Matthew 25:46
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

We are in the Last Time

Hebrews 12:26-27
⁽²⁶⁾ Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
⁽²⁷⁾ And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

Hebrews 9:26
For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

1 Corinthians 15:23-24
⁽²³⁾ But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

These Things must Happen Before Judgment

⁽²¹⁾ And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
⁽²²⁾ For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

1 Timothy 4:1-3
⁽¹⁾ Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
⁽²⁾ Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
⁽³⁾ Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

2 Thessalonians 2:2-9
⁽²⁾ That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
⁽³⁾ Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
⁽⁴⁾ Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
⁽⁵⁾ Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
⁽⁶⁾ And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
⁽⁷⁾ For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
⁽⁸⁾ And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
⁽⁹⁾ Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

 

Jesus Christ's Return will be Unmistakable

Matthew 24:23-27
⁽²³⁾ Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
⁽²⁴⁾ For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
⁽²⁵⁾ Behold, I have told you before.
⁽²⁶⁾ Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
⁽²⁷⁾ For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

1 Thessalonians 4:16

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

2 Peter 3:10
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Those Who Have Died In Christ shall Rise First

⁽³¹⁾ When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
⁽³²⁾ And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
⁽³³⁾ And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
⁽³⁴⁾ Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
⁽³⁵⁾ For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
⁽³⁶⁾ Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
⁽³⁷⁾ Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
⁽³⁸⁾ When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
⁽³⁹⁾ Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
⁽⁴⁰⁾ And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
⁽⁴¹⁾ Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
⁽⁴²⁾ For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
⁽⁴³⁾ I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
⁽⁴⁴⁾ Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
⁽⁴⁵⁾ Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
