Not a lot of detail available for eternity after the 1000 year reign of Christ, but as we rule and reign with him during that period and are residing in the new Jerusalem we will be witneses to the last judgement.

Only God knows what will be assigned us from then on, but whatever, it will be glorious.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.  2 Peter 3:10

Among the numerous odd questions I'd thought about:  If a tree falls in a forest and nobody hears it, does it make a sound?

In other words, where are we when this takes place if we can hear it?

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.  Revelation 20:11

So where does the Great White Throne Judgment happen?

Just some thought questions; I'm not sure if there are any available answers right now.

Absolutely not for the true believer. I cannot imagine the awesome terror that folks will experience there.

If we are to rule and reign with Christ I believe we will be at the great white throne judgment. But from His side of the bench. Recall the scriptures about how on "that day" Nineveh will judge Israel for at the preaching of Jonah they repented, and yet Israel refused to repent on the day of her visitation by the Lord. I believe our presence will judge the unrighteous because of our willingness to repent and receive Him when they were not. I think we will be there to compare and contrast the other side of Elohim's Mercy and Justice, Grace and Holiness.

Rev 20:11-13 "11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done." 

1 Corinthians 6:2 "Or do you not know that the Lord’s people will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? 3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!"

I think that once the Bride and Bridegroom have fulfilled their covenant relationship that we will be connected with Him always, in spirit at least, and that spirit being much more communicative than possible to appreciate now. I think we will witness this event, but I don't think we will have to face the bench as it were. Additionally, as the lost are judged according to their works in this life, the main thing lacking from their works is having believed in Yeshua's finished work for them. I think we will be there as a testimony to what they could have done if they had only trusted in Him. But it's not a theory that I can prove absolutely. We are apparently to judge angels and the things of this world. We're not given a whole lot of detail on that, probably because we don't have the capacity yet to understand what it truly means. I'll trust His agenda to be perfect, however it works out.

Is the heaven that will pass away the first, second or third heaven?

The Greek word used in chapter 20 of Revelations is ooranos.   In English we would say the sky.   Technically it would be the atmosphere around the earth which extends out about 15 miles or so.  After that, there is not enough oxygen to burn.

Knight Michael, I never meant to imply the the Church would be subjects brought before the GWTJ, but I did think we would witness it or possibly be involved in the judgment according to 1 Corinthians 6:2. The context of the sheep/goat judgment would seem to exclude us as judges since knowing Yeshua is the sole determinant at that judgment, whereas the GWTJ involves judging their works. And as contrasted to the Bema seat where we will be judged, not judges.

I've never been settled in my mind whether the wedding supper of the Lamb was before or after the Second Coming of Yeshua. In my mind I see it as occuring in heaven, but it seems that redeemed Israel might be guests as well. Is there scriptural evidence for it predating the second coming that I've forgotten or not heard?

Say, do you think the Bema seat will be like the Olympics where we get scored both on difficulty and performance?

I base that order based on Revelation chapter 19

Revelation 19:7-10 shows the Marriage Supper of the Lamb

Revelation 19:11-19 shows the Second Coming

I don't believe that we will be judging non-believers in the GWTJ.  Only God can see into the heart.

Revelation 20:11-15(NASB)

  11Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them.

12And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds.

13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds.

14Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

15And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

I do believe that we will participate in the judging of the fallen angels. 

1 Corinthians 6:3(NASB)

3Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life?

so, the sheep and the goats separation happens at the white throne, the sheep are found written in the book of life, the goats, not so much...

matt25:31 ¶When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

show me exact scripture to imply sheep and goats are done anywhere other than the white throne... please..

If you look at the Matthew verses you quoted above you see that the sheep and goats judgment is when Yeshua comes down to earth at His second coming in His glory and with His angels. The sheep / goat judgment is required because only believers in Yeshua can come into the Millennial Kingdom. Another clue is the "then He will sit on His throne" which doesn't make sense if He's been sitting on the throne already for 1000 years.

The verse Matthew 25:34 refers to the fulfillment of the promises of God to Abraham which will be fulfilled in the Millennial Kingdom with Christ sitting on the Throne of David and Israel being exalted as the Land where the Lord is. "Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world."

During the Millennial Reign the believers who survived tribulation will have children. Most will believe inYeshua because, well, there He is. But we know some will not because of the rebellion against Yeshua at the end of the Millennial Reign when satan is let loose for a while. Then God slaps them down quick and the GWT judgment is called.

The Great White Throne judgment is the final judgment before eternity begins, evident in part because death gets tossed into the lake of fire. Since the wages of sin is death, if death be gone so must sin. If sin no longer exists, neither will you need any further judgments and you also know that all flesh has either been transformed into Glory or sent to hell / the lake of fire. And you can't have a final judgment until all those who were born have either died or been transformed into Glory. Also the verses right before the GWT judgment have Satan being cast into the lake of fire right before death and hell are tossed in there too. Which must happen at the end of the 1000 year reign of Christ since satan must be loosed for a short time at the end of that reign.

Final bit is that the nations are judged at the sheep/goat judgment, but this isn't the resurrection of all the unsaved dead yet because there are still unsaved people to die in the Millennial Kingdom. This is a judgment of those alive at the end of the Tribulation. Before the GWT judgement is the second resurrection where all those who have died and have not been given glorified bodies are raised up for their time of judgment.

ok tom, look at mt25 again...

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

everlasting fire prepared for the devil IS the lake of fire, done at the white throne...

In verse 46 Matthew states that they will go into an age long correction, or eternal punishment as is usually translated (http://biblelexicon.org/matthew/25-46.htm) rather than fire. As I understand it they are destined assuredly for the lake of fire, but first off to hades for 1000 years and then off to the lake of fire contained within hades.

Verse 41 does talk of fire, but not a lake of fire in the Greek. Just an age long fire. http://biblelexicon.org/matthew/25-41.htm. I wouldn't be surprised if hades has flames, particularly since Christ led captivity captive. I imagine it's been going downhill since that time since as I understand it, God's creative life giving presence has been denied it since that time.

The lake shows up in Revelation 20:14 http://biblelexicon.org/revelation/20-14.htm. This sounds like a different set of flames to me.

The logic of the sheep and goat judgment being the same as the GWT judgment makes no sense to me, and the scripture shows different characteristics of each judgment. But if you care to differ, it will make no difference to either you or me. Neither of us will be judged at either judgment and we'll both know what He's got planned before either of these events occur as I understand it. By the time it's absolutely clear, it seems it's going to be too late for anyone being judged by these judgments to make a change in their status.

Addendum: I also think it is interesting that the word often translated at eternal in Matthew actually means age long, which "practically" means eternal. This translation may well have been decided upon by covenant reform theologians rather than dispensationalist theologians. In reformed theology an age is probably equivalent to forever. In dispensationalism an age means an age. As in the Age of Law, or the Age of the Millennial Kingdom. Which rather works with my argument, that being the main point of putting it here. 

So what happens to the unsaved survivors of tribulation? The troops are destroyed, but there are still people around all the nations who followed the AC and not Yeshua. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor **** offenders  nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.  And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."

The unredeemed cannot enter the Millennial Kingdom of God. Yet there will be millions of them. That's why there's a sheep / goat judgment of the nations before the Millennial Kingdom begins.

Murray Leslie, you still haven't addressed the connection between Joel 3:12  and Matthew 25:32

Don't you think the references to judging the nations in each passage is significant?  I find more similarities between these verses than with what is described in Revelation following the Millennium.

dave, i think joel is talking of the day of Christ, and matthew is talking of the white throne...

tom, not everyone gets the mark, there will be resistance

rev14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

this is like or as some still found written in the book of life at the white throne, given time the ac would have marked or killed everybody, Jesus cuts things short, or no flesh would be saved.. sleep writing, who knew...
