Who stands before God at the great white throne?
The dead, small and great, stand before God at the great white throne. These are the lost from Cain to the end of the thousand-year reign, judged according to their works from the opened books, while another book, the Book of Life, is also opened.
Les explains that the great white throne is set somewhere out in space. At that throne, the dead, small and great, stand before God. He identifies “the dead” as the lost from Cain all the way to the end of the thousand-year reign. The books are opened, and another book, the Book of Life, is opened. The dead are judged out of the things written in the books according to their works.
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.
