Heaven: The Throne of Judgment
Friday, January 24, 2025 – Day 20
Read Revelation 20
Key Verses:
Then I saw a great white throne and Him who 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, standing
before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the
dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13 The sea
gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And
they were judged, each one according to his works. 14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of
fire. This is the second death. 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake
of fire. Revelation 20: 11-15 (NKJV)
Key Reflection:
Revelation 20 is the culmination of the matter in the war between good and evil. Satan is bound. Satan
is released. Satan opposes God. Satan is tormented forever in the lake of fire (hell). There is no room
found in heaven for the devil nor for creation. 24 Death will be in hell too, along with all whose names
are not written in the Book of Life. The eternal fate of humanity will be decided.

Thought:
The most important book in all of existence is the Book of Life. Only Jesus knows whose names are
written in it. Assurance is given to those whose names are written in it and those whose names have
been blotted out. 25 Judgment will be according to our works that will not be forgotten. We must
worship, work and then wait to ensure that our names are written in it.
24F
Prayer:
Lord, I come to you in the name of Jesus. My desire is to please you in all things. I never want my name
to be blotted out of the Book of Life. Convict me by the power of your Holy Spirit when I operate in a
way that puts my name in jeopardy. I do not want to live with death, I want to live with you. In Jesus
name I pray, Amen.
Question:
1. Where will your name be?
