Who are 'the dead' judged at the great white throne?
The dead judged at the great white throne are the lost, spanning from Cain until the end of the thousand-year reign. They stand before God, small and great, as the books are opened and they are judged according to their works, with another book, the Book of Life, also opened.
Les explains that the great white throne is set somewhere out in space. He sees the dead, small and great, standing before God. The books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. Les identifies “the dead” as the lost, all the way back to Cain up until the end of the thousand-year reign, who were lost. They are judged out of those 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.
