7 Judgements of scripture

1) judgement of the cross a) man's sins were judged at Calvary (2 Cor 5:21; Gal 3:13; Rom 8:1)

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. (2 Corinthians 5:21 AV)

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: (Galatians 3:13

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (Romans 8:1 AV)

b) Satan was judged also (Col 2:14,15; John 16:11)

Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. {in it: or, in himself} (Colossians 2:14-15 AV)

Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. (John 16:11 AV)

c) judgement of the past and never will be repeated

2) the judgement of the sinning believer (1 Cor 11:30-32)

For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. (1 Corinthians 11:30-32 AV)

3) the judgement of the believers works (22:12; Rom 14:10; 1 Cor 3;10-19; 4:5; 2

Cor 5:10) takes place at the Rapture (2 Tim 4:8) at the judgement seat of

Christ (bema)

And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. (Revelation 22:12 AV)

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. (Romans 14:10 AV)

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. (2 Corinthians 5:10 AV)

4) judgment upon Israel (Ezek 20:33-38; Mt 24:9-10) takes place after the tribulation period those who reject their Messiah will not enter the kingdom; those who have received Him will enter it ( Rom 11:26)

Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. Mt 24:9-10
