Revelation 20:11-15 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away… I. THE SEAT OF JUDGMENT — a great white throne. 1. Its dignity. A throne is the seat of royalty (1 Kings 10:18, 19; Isaiah 6:1). 2. Its purity. White is an emblem of purity. As from the majesty of this throne there can be no appeal, so with respect to the equity of it there can be no just cause of complaint. II. THE AUTHOR OF JUDGMENT. 1. Who is the Judge? Jehovah in the person of Christ. The Father judgeth no man (John 5:22). 2. His qualification for His work. III. Infinite knowledge. (1) Unspotted justice. (2) Unlimited power. III. THE SUBJECTS OF JUDGMENT. "I saw the dead, small and great," etc. 1. The appearance will be universal. 2. The appearance will be inevitable. IV. THE RULE OF JUDGMENT. Conclusion: 1. Flee to the Cross of Christ. 2. Ever associate that day with feelings of the deepest solemnity. (J. G. Breay, B. A. .)
