The Judgement Before the Great White Throne | Derek Prince

Four Judgments

Derek Prince outlines four judgments he understands to be described in the Bible:

1. The judgment seat of Christ — for believers.
2. The judgment of Israel — during the Great Tribulation.
3. The judgment of other nations — before Christ’s throne at the beginning of the millennium.
4. The Great White Throne judgment — after heaven and earth have fled away, when the remaining dead are raised and judged according to what is recorded in the books. Prince says those whose names are in the Book of Life will enter eternity with God; the rest will be banished from God’s presence.

Reflection and Prayer

Prince urges listeners to consider whether they are ready to face God’s judgment and whether they are living in a way they will not be ashamed of. In his closing prayer, he asks God to help people examine their lives, use what they have been given rather than hide it—referring to the “one talent” in the ground—and be ready for Jesus’ return and to account for what they have done.
