1] Judgment day = Is The Last Day

There is only ONE last day that is spoken about in the scriptures

The LAST DAY marks the END of this world [or age]
That is the day when the Lord returns to judge all mankind
It does NOT take place at the end of a one thousand year [earthly millennium]
It DOES take place when the Lord comes back!

John 6:40
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:44
No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:54
Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

2] Two Groups Of people: Saved and Lost

Those who received Jesus Christ and those who rejected him
Those who received Jesus Christ = will go to be with the Lord forever
Those who reject Christ = will go to the furnace of fire

The SAVED are those who receive Jesus Christ

The LOST are those who reject Jesus Christ

Matthew 13:40
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
Matthew 13:41
The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
Matthew 13:42
And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 13:43
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

The Lord compared the LOST to TARES (weeds)

The Lord compared the SAVED to the WHEAT
The TARES are tossed into the fire while the WHEAT is gathered [saved]

Jesus said that the RIGHTEOUS would SHINE!

The prophet Daniel spoke along those same lines

Daniel 12:2
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Daniel 12:3
And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

Daniel spoke about TWO different groups [saved and lost]
Daniel said that the WISE would SHINE just like Jesus said!

The Jewish apostle Paul = spoke about two different groups

The JUST and the UNJUST

Acts 24:14
But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
Acts 24:15
And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

1 Peter 3:18
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

Peter exalted Jesus Christ [the JUST] who died for the UNJUST

The Lord Jesus Christ compared the FINAL JUDGMENT to a haul of fish in a boat
The GOOD fish were kept but the BAD fish were thrown away

Matthew 13:47
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
Matthew 13:48
Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
Matthew 13:49
So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
Matthew 13:50
And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

3] All who have ever lived will be judged on the same DAY of JUDGMENT

Jesus Christ said he will come again and Judge ALL mankind at the SAME time!

Matthew 16:27
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

The Apostle Paul said that Judgment happens at the Second Coming

2 Thessalonians 1:7
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
2 Thessalonians 1:8
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 Thessalonians 1:9
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
2 Thessalonians 1:10

When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

The Apostle John spoke about that very same day in the Book of Revelation

John spoke about TWO groups [the SAVED and the LOST]

Revelation 20:12
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.
Revelation 20:13
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell (hades) delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
Revelation 20:14
And death and hell (hades) were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Revelation 20:15
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

The Lord Jesus Christ said that Sodom and Gomorrah would have it easier on Judgment Day than all of those who reject the Gospel that was preached to them!

Jesus Christ showed NO PARTIALITY toward Jew or Gentile

Jesus told his followers to shake the dust of their feet off in any place that rejected His gospel of SALVATION!

Matthew 10:14
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
Matthew 10:15
Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

That applies to ALL who reject Jesus Christ!

That includes both Jew and Gentile [ALL mankind]

Matthew 11:23
And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
Matthew 11:24
But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

Mark 6:11
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
Mark 6:12
And they went out, and preached that men should repent.




4] Example Of Jewish People Rejecting The Gospel of Jesus Christ At Antioch

Paul and Barnabas shook the dust off their feet against the unbelieving Jews [Matthew 10:14]

They simply OBEYED what the Lord Jesus Christ told them to do [Matthew 10:14]

They did not teach about a postponement of the Gospel for Jew or Gentile

They told the UNBELIEVING Jews that they JUDGED themselves UNWORTHY of EVERLASTING LIFE! They REJECTED God’s OFFER of EVERLASTING LIFE! That is totally mind-blowing! And yet that is what MOST people actually do!

Paul knew the gospel and what it told him to do = and he did just that!

Acts 13:44
And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
Acts 13:45
But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
Acts 13:46
Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
Acts 13:47
For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
Acts 13:48
And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
Acts 13:49
And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.
Acts 13:50
But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.
Acts 13:51
But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.
Acts 13:52
And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
