Will presidents and world leaders one day stand before Jesus?
Yes. Scripture indicates that one day the Roman authority who judged Jesus will stand before Him, along with presidents, kings, senators, corporate heads, and the great men of this world. Revelation 20 describes the great white throne where the dead, small and great, stand before God.
Les explains that Jesus once stood before a Roman authority, but one day that same Roman authority will stand before Him. He says this will also include presidents, kings, senators, corporate heads, and the great men of this world. Les then points to Revelation chapter 20, beginning at verse 11, describing the great white throne at the end of time and human experience as eternity is ushered in. There the dead, small and great, stand before God, and the person on the throne is Christ. Les calls this a reversal of the earlier scene where God stood before the Roman governor.
And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
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.
