"The whole purpose of the great white throne judgment is to clear away all the old religious heavens that have ruled us, and the earth of the flesh and the works of the flesh that have bound us, to make way for God’s new order — the new heaven and earth of CHRIST’S KINGDOM. I do not say that even that heaven and earth are an eternal order, for Paul tells us of a reality beyond all this: “Then cometh the end, when He shall have DELIVERED UP THE KINGDOM to God, even the Father; when He shall have put down all rule and all authority and power…and when all things shall have been subdued unto Him, then shall the Son also Himself be subject unto Him that put all things under Him, THAT GOD MAY BE A-L-L I-N A-L-L!” (I Cor. 15:24,28). That is certainly beyond the new heaven and the new earth of the kingdom of Christ! We experience these things more and more in our lives as we walk with the Lord. This is the ongoing process by which Christ is “making everything new.” By it He transforms us into a new creation in which God can live, work, express, and manifest Himself in the totality of His life, glory, and power. When our old earth and heavens flee from before the Lord’s face, when we allow no room for them in our experience, God’s judging and refining has at last destroyed all carnality, sinfulness, religiosity, and all immature spirituality from our lives."

"High above the earth realm, and far beyond all the heavens of spiritual experience lies the GREAT WHITE THRONE — and the invitation is extended: “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in His throne” (Rev. 3:21). But you will never know Him in the majesty, power, glory, and all-surpassing eminence of His throneship, my beloved, until YOUR EARTH and ALL YOUR HEAVENS have fled away, and you have put on the Lord Jesus Christ in the fullness of His divine nature, to manifest Him in all His wondrous beauty and majesty. Those who share His throne are like Him, exactly like Him, so that should they number in thousands, or in millions, there is only ONE who is seen upon the throne! Can you not see that this process is going on all the time, as we are changed progressively into His likeness from one glory to another; day by day our flesh-life is fleeing away, and day by day our lower heavens are passing away. Isn’t it wonderful!"
"The judgments of God are first and foremost not external, but internal; not future, but on-going. The Word of God, history, and our own experience shout aloud the truth that the soul’s verdict is even now being written moment by moment, not by recording angels in heavenly books on some distant shore, but by each man himself on the fleshy tables of his own heart. This present life is to each of the consecrated ones his “day of judgment” — his day of trial, testing, proving, chastening, his day of being brought to perfection in Christ. When any man anywhere at any time begins to be dealt with by God to bring him into his full salvation, the “day of judgment” will begin to function in mighty power in his life. The apostle Peter’s words are in harmony with this: “Judgment must begin at the house of God!” (I Pet. 4:17). This passage in the Greek text speaks of the judgment of God flowing out from the house of God; but nothing can flow out from the house of God that hasn’t first become an experiential reality within the house of God. Oh, yes, let all men know that all judgment must begin at the house of God! This does not imply a sudden visitation of catastrophes, calamities, and troubles, but it means that there will be a concentration of divine instruction and discipline, as the Father purifies each individual, until He can gather to Himself a FIRSTFRUITS."

"The very first key to understanding the book of Revelation is the fact that the book is, in its entirety, a book of symbols. Any other approach will leave you hopelessly lost in a sea of confusion, or limited to an array of implausible literalistic conclusions, or muttering like a mad man about things utterly ridiculous. “I saw the dead, small and great,” John declared. When Jesus came this world was spiritually a cemetery. ALL were dead! NONE were living! “For to be carnally minded is death,” is the Spirit’s own graphic and accurate definition of what it means to be dead (Rom. 7:6). "And you hath He quickened (made alive) who were dead in trespasses and sins” (Eph. 2:1). To the spiritually dead the apostle commands, “Awake thou that sleepest and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light” (Eph. 5:14). Let us with pure minds and an understanding enlightened by the spirit of revelation from God consider these meaningful words: “And I saw the dead…stand before God.” I saw the DEAD — S-T-A-N-D! And immediately the “books” were opened."

"And think not, O man, that should your earthly body be laid in a silent and motionless tomb, that the Almighty must then resort to some celestial scrolls wherein heavenly angels have faithfully recorded your every thought and deed. NO! All is accurately recorded in the law of your own life, deep within the recesses of your own nature, in your spiritual and soulical condition and state of being, and to deal with you in judgment God has but to “stand you up” and prompt you to speak or act — and immediately you will manifest exactly what is inscribed in the constitution of your inner life and heart. At once your “book” will “open,” each line being made clear, and you will be judged by the things written in that book which you are. There will be no mistake then, because the books will show the truth. I do not know what your name may be. There may be ten thousand or ten million men or women of the same name as yourself, but when the Lord puts His hand upon your book and opens it, it will be your book, and that of nobody else. What you are, is what you are, and what will be read will be out of your book.
