PThe Great White Throne Of
Judgement”
_By J. M. Little
First in series
When will this final
—take plnrr** Nnt
at the end of the Tribula
tion Period. The judgement
that takes place at the end
of the Tribulation Period
mentioned in Matthew 25 is
the judgement of the na
tions, an entirely different
judgement from the final
judgement mentioned in
Rev. 20. This judgement
will take place at the end of
the millenial reign of
Oj-ist. Now we have courts
set up to try breakers of the
law. Human government is
ordained of God. I respect
every office in the land, but
I disdain some of the men
who'bold those offices be
cause they are wicked and
ungodly men who hate my
heavenly Father. I am not
commanded to respect a
liar, cheat, stealer of
other men’s wives. That is
the way you are living.
How many men violate the
sacred trust of their of
fice? ’Hie higher a man
goes in public office, the
more holy he is supposed to
-be. loot whatJwppened in_
Sodom and Gomorrah. The
same thing is happening all
:_t_:__-_:___
Who will preside over
this righteous judgement?
God Himself. “And I saw a
great white throne, and
-Him that sat on it, from
whose face the earth and
the heaven fled away ; and
there was found no place
for them,” (Rev. 20:11).
Here we see the first and
second heavens and the
earth fleeing from before
the face of a thrice holy and
righteous God. Even the
heavens are sinful in God’s
sight. We see God Al
mighty sitting on this
throne. No man can sit on
it, it rightly belongs to our
heavenly Father.. John
said, “There was found no
place for them.” Which
means that they will be
destroyed. God is going to
destroy the earth and the
two heavens closest to the
earth. The third heaven is
where God dwells. The be
loved Apostle Paul spoke of -
a man being caught up to
the third heaven, (II Cor.
12). Paul was that man
himself. The Lord took
Paul to Heaven and re
vealed some things to him
and brought him baofc
down to earth to preach the
Gospel as no man h»H done

before him, and hasn’t
tee since. Paul had li
teraOy bean to Heaven and
•een what awaited him on
the other side. Therefore,
he could all the more en
dure the beatings and im
prisonments he had to go
through. What did it matter
what he had to suffer? He
had seen the prise-on the
other side for all his suf
ferings. I wish we could
look by faith and see the
prize on the other side and
It wouldn’t matter what we
have to suffer in this life
because of our testimony
of the Lord. Are you look
ing by faith at your re
ward on the other side? If it
weren’t for Christ within
I’d go under.
Yes, the Lord God of
Heaven shall sit on this
throne and judge you. The
very God you deny, the
same One who is holding
you out of Hell at this
second, is going to judge
you. Now is the day of His
goodness and mercy. There
will be no mercy for you at
this time when you stand
before Him to be judged.
-There i mwwt ha turn «/».
vereign wills in the uni
verse. There can only be
one, God’s will. And just as
the sinful heaven and earth
had to flee from the pre
sense of God, so will every
unregenerate soul have to
flee from God. Sin cannot
live in the presence of God.
Did you know that? In your
unregenerate condition, at
this moment, if you should
be ushered into Heaven
where God dwells, you
could not stand to be just in
Heaven, let alone in the
presence of God. Your sin
ful body would be so tor
mented in all the right
eousness and you would
quickly say; “Saint Peter,
open the door and let me go
on to Hell where I belong.”
That’s right, you couldn’t
stand to be in the presence
of God in your unregen
erate state. Do you ever
think about it like that? In
our next message, we will
look at those who will have
to be judged at this final
-judgement. -Are vou in
Christ? I praise U»e Lord
Some Ailments
Need Medical
Attention
No one wants to call a
physician for every minor
bump, scratch, bruise or
ache. On the other hand,
some ailments need medic
al attention. The North
Carolina Medical Society
says there’s no easy
answer for every situation.
Of course, if the problem
is an obvious emergency
. (a broken bone, severe
bleeding, possible heart at
tack or stroke, diabetic
coma, or severe abdomin
al pain) the victim should
be taken to a hospital
emergency department im
mediately, preferably in an
ambulance attended by
paramedics. The decision
is tougher in less obvious
cases.
In general, it’s wise to
call the doctor:
-when-the patients com
plaints seem to be too
severe to be endured.
-when apparently minor
symptoms persist for more
than a few days.
-when the symptoms re
turn repeatedly.
-when in doubt.
That last piece of advice
is especially important.

Redesigned To
Prevent Fraud
First Citizens Bank’s
MasterCard has a new de
sign which should help stop
fraudulent duplication of
the card.
According to Bill Baker,
vice president and man
ager of the bank’s Bank
card Division, Raleigh, the
new design includes a
hologram, a three-dimen
sional image which is en
graved with a lasor print
er. The MasterCard holo
gram changes colors to
show either a globe or the
letters “MC” when the
-P»rH ir.-tiitwt "The hnln
gram is almost impossible
to duplicate which decreas
es the likelihood of counter
feiting the MasterCard,”
Baker said. The hologram
was designed by Master
Card International.
The design at the top
portion of the card features
the First Citizens Bank
logo and its traditional
blue color.
The new MasterCards
will be issued to custom
ers beginning in May,
according to Baker. As
cards presently in use ex
