The Righteous Judge
the Wicked The thousand year period is also a time of judgment. But remember that the judgment consists of four main stages: 1. The pre-advent judgment of the righteous before Christ’s second coming. 2. The reward of the righteous at the second coming. 3. The judging of the wicked during the 1,000 years. 4. The reward of Satan and the wicked at the end of that period. (You may wish to review guide 13 that deals with stages 1 and 2 of the judgment, the investigation and reward of the righteous.) We will now look at stages 3 and 4, the investigation and reward of the wicked. We’ve already seen that the righteous dead come from their graves at the second coming of Christ and, with the righteous who have never died, leave this earth and are taken to God’s heavenly paradise with Jesus and the holy angels. Those redeemed by Christ find their home in heaven during the 1,000 years. What will the righteous be doing in heaven during this 1,000-year period?
