PITCHED HIS TENTS NEAR SODOM / GENESIS 13:12

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 13:12

Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.

PITCHED HIS TENTS NEAR SODOM / GENESIS 13:12

One of Lot’s Biggest mistakes was that he seemed to love personal gain more than he hated Sodom’s wickedness (Genesis 13:10-13).

  1. If he had been more determined to do what was right (Hebrews 1:9), he would not have put up with the evil in Sodom, and he certainly would not have chosen to live there (Genesis 13:13). Perhaps he felt that Sodom’s beauty, wealth and cultural advantages outweighed the risks to himself and his family. Perhaps he believed he would remain spiritually faithful to God. But by willfully choosing to expose himself and his family to Sodom’s immoral and ungodly lifestyle, Lot learned the bitter lesson that his family was not strong enough to resist its evil influences (Genesis 19:24-26, 30-38).
  2. Unless we are certain that God is specifically leading us into risky situations in order to reach people with the salvation in order to reach people with the salvation message, we must be careful not to place ourselves or our families in “Sodom” situations. If we do, we are likely to encounter disaster, just like Lot’s family did.

LOT LOOKED UP AND SAW / GENESIS 13:10

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 13:10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.

LOT LOOKED UP AND SAW / GENESIS 13:10

Scripture tells us that “the LORD does not look at the things man looks at” (1 Samuel 16:7). Lot saw only the rich, grassy valley that seemed promising for his future. God, however, saw the people of Sodom who were “wicked and were sinning greatly” (Genesis 13:13). Lot’s failure to recognize and avoid evil eventually led to death and tragedy in his family (Genesis 13:12).

DEATH AND HADES – THE LAKE OF FIRE / REVELATION 20:14

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 20:14

And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

DEATH AND HADES – THE LAKE OF FIRE / REVELATION 20:14

DEATH AND HADES

Hades refers to the place of intermediate punishment where all the ungodly go now when they die to await final judgment (Revelation 1:18; Revelation 6:8; Revelation 20:13-14). After the final judgment removes all the ungodly and Satan himself into the lake of fire there will be no further need for death or Hades. Its fires and torment will be absorbed into the ultimate place of eternal punishment. The only place where death (spiritual death, which is permanent separation from God) will exist is in the place of eternal punishment. Taht is why the lake of fire is referred to as the “second death.” Those consigned to it will have no hope for resurrection or rescue. Anyone whose name is not found in the Book of Life will suffer forever in the lake of fire.

THE LAKE OF FIRE

The Bible portrays a terrible picture of the final doom of the spiritually lost.

  1. It speaks of “trouble and distress” (Romans 2:9), “weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matthew 22:13; 25:30), “everlasting destruction” (2 Thessalonians 1:9) and a “fiery furnace” (Matthew 13:42, 50). It speaks of “gloomy dungeons” (2 Peter 2:4), “eternal punishment” (Matthew 25:46), a “hell, where the fire never goes out” (Mark 9:43), a “fiery lake of burning sulfur” (Revelation 19:20) and “the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever. There is no rest day or night” (Revelation 14:11). Certainly, “It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God” (Hebrews 10:31); “It would be better for him if he had not been born” (Matthew 26:24; Matthew 10:28).
  2. The lake of fire was not originally prepared for people, but rather was the judgment reserved for Satan and the angels who followed him in rebellion against God (Matthew 25:41). By the time the “Great White Throne Judgment” (Revelation 20:11-13) takes place, Satan will have already been thrown into the lake of fire, along with the antichrist and his false prophet. But because of God’s perfect justice, He must also condemn all others who defy Him and do not turn from their own way and accept His gracious offer of forgiveness and eternal life with Him.
  3. Christ’s followers in the New Testament church were extremely aware of the consequences in store for those who persisted in living in sin (going their ow God-defying way). It was for this reason they preached with tears (Acts 20:19) and defended God’s unfailing Word and original message of Christ against all distortion and false teaching (Philippians 1:17; 2 Timothy 1:14).

ACCORDING TO WHAT THEY HAD DONE / REVELATION 20:12-13

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 20:12-13

And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

ACCORDING TO WHAT THEY HAD DONE / REVELATION 20:12-13

The lives of all who did not accept God’s forgiveness and entrust their lives to Him will be completely exposed before God. Every selfish and defiant act and ungodly thought will be called into account. Even the “secret sins,” which it seemed no one knew about, will be brought to light and judged (Luke 8:17; Romans 2:16). All will be judged individually for their works according to God’s standards and principles, with consideration for motives and opportunities (Luke 12:47-48). This indicates differences in the sentencing and degree of punishment, but not in the duration. The torment of the lake of fire (Revelation 20:14) is unquenchable and will last forever.

EARTH AND SKY FLED / REVELATION 20:11

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 20:11  

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.

EARTH AND SKY FLED / REVELATION 20:11

The glory of God and the fire of His judgment surrounding the Great White Throne are so intense that even the elements of the physical universe cannot remine in God’s presence (Revelation 20:11). It seems that since these things are no longer needed, they will cease to exist. This is likely part of the preparation for the creation oof a new heaven and earth (Revelation 21:1; Isaiah 51:6; 2 Peter 3:7, 10-12).

GREAT WHITE THRONE / REVELATION 20:11-13

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 20:11-13

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. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

GREAT WHITE THRONE / REVELATION 20:11-13

The judgment described here is called the “Great White Throne Judgment” (the whit throne reflects God’s purity and holiness). Jesus Christ is the judge (John 5:22). This judgment includes all the spiritually lost (those who did not accept God’s gracious forgiveness and salvation and live by faith in Him) of all time. Some believe that those who are saved (who personally accept and trust Christ) during Christ’s thousand-year reign on earth will be included in this judgment, though that is not clear from this or any other passage.

THE FIRST RESURRECTION / REVELATION 20:6

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 20:6

Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

THE FIRST RESURRECTION / REVELATION 20:6

The term “resurrection” includes the raising to life of Christ and all God’s faithful people of all time. They live and have eternal life because Christ brought triumph and victory over death through His own resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:20-24). This is in contrast to the resurrection of all who died in their sins without ever accepting God’s gracious salvation; they will be raised only to face final judgment at the end of the millennium (Revelation 20:12-13; Isaiah 26:19-21; Daniel 12:2, 13: Matthew 27:52-53; John 11:25-26; 14:19; 1 Corinthians 15:20, 52).

THRONES ON WHICH WERE SEATED / REVELATION 20:4

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 20:4

And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

THRONES ON WHICH WERE SEATED / REVELATION 20:4

Those who sit on the thrones with authority to judge (or “rule”) with Christ during the thousand years are probably faithful followers of Christ from the church age (before the rapture of the church and the judgments of the great tribulation). They are the overcomers from all churches of all time (Revelation 2:7) and may also include God’s faithful people throughout the Old Testament period (Ezekiel 37:11-14; Ephesians 2:14-22; 3:6; Hebrews 11:39-40). It seems that all of these return to earth with Christ when He comes to defeat the armies of the anti-christ and establish His thousand-year reign (Revelation 19:14). Among these are Christ’s original disciples who helped establish the New Testament church; they will judge, or rule, the twelve tribes of Israel (Luke 22:30). Those who come to life after Christ’s return are said to be His faithful ones who died for their faith during the tribulation (Revelation 6:9; 12:17). They will join Christ’s faithful followers from the church age in reigning with Christ during the thousand years. John does not mention the resurrection of the faithful of Christ’s churches who have died because this occurred when Christ removed His church from the earth and took His followers to heaven prior to the great tribulation judgments (John 14:3; 1 Corinthians 15:51).

REIGNED WITH CHRIST A THOUSAND YEARS

This thousand-year reign of Christ is sometimes called “the millennium,” meaning “a thousand Years” (mille, the Latin word for “thousand,” and annus, the Latin word for “year”). The following are some of the characteristics of this millennial reign:

  1. It was predicted in the Old Testament (Isaiah 9:6; 65:19-25; Daniel 7:13-14; Micah 4:1-8; Zechariah 14:1-9; Revelation 2:25-28).
  2. This is when Satan will be bound (Revelation 20:2; Revelation 20:3).
  3. Christ’s reign will be shared by His faithful followers from throughout the church age (Revelation 2:26-27; 3:21; 5:10; 20:4), and possibly also by the resurrected Old Testament followers of God (Ezekiel 37:11-14; Ephesians 2:14-22; 3:6; Hebrews 11:39-40) and those killed for accepting Christ and remaining true to Him during the tribulation.
  4. The people ruled by Christ will consist of those on earth who were faithful to Christ during the tribulation and who survived until the Lord’s coming and those born during the millennium (Revelation 14:12; 18:4; Isaiah 65:20-23; Matthew 25:1).
  5. Those reigning with Christ will have a place of honor above all the nations, as they will minister to and rule both Israel and the other nations (Revelation 20:6; 3:21; 5:10; Matthew 19:28; Zephaniah 3:9-20).
  6. Christ’s reign will bring drastic changes affecting society. There will be peace, safety, prosperity, justice, righteousness and knowledge of God throughout the earth (Isaiah 2:2-4; 11:9-10; Micah 4:4; Zechariah 9:10; 2:5; 9:8).
  7. Nature will also be restored to its original order, perfection and beauty (Psalms 96:11-13; 98:7-9; Isaiah 11:6-8; 14:7-8; 35:1-2, 6-7; 51:3; 55:12-13; 65:25; Ezekiel 24:25; Romans 8:18+23; Isaiah 65:17-25; Ezekiel 36:8-15; Zechariah 14:8).
  8. The nations during this reign will be privileged and grateful to follow Christ in obedience to His rule. However, even under these conditions and without Satan’s influence, human nature will still cause some to choose a path of rebellion and disobedience, leading to punishment (Revelation 20:7-10).
  9. At the end of the thousand years, Jesus will turn the kingdom over to His Father (1 Corinthians 15:24). That will mark the end of time as we know it and the beginning of the final and eternal kingdom of God and the Lamb (Christ, Revelation 21:1-22:5).
