Part 14 - The Last Judgment - by P.K.Odendaal - October 2012.
This used to send shivers up my spine, but not anymore - and
you can prepare yourself for this to take the sting out of it. But sure as we
live, there will be a Final or Last Judgement of the World. It will be like a
court case for individuals and nations, and it is easiest to think of it in
terms of a court case on earth, as what we have on earth is based on a justice
system instituted by God for Israel.
The basis for any such a court case is the presence of a
judge (Jesus Christ), an accuser (Satan), an accused (me and you), witnesses
(anyone we wish to call), and the Law (Mosaic Law and the Bible). We all know
the procedures which will be followed. Satan will bring in an accusation
against us, we will plead guilty or not, and if we plead innocence, we will need
to defend ourselves with suitably prepared witnesses and arguments in terms of
the Law (and the rest of the Bible).
