What will happen to the great men of the world when they stand before Christ?
The great men of the world will one day stand before Christ, who will be in His role as Judge and the Almighty God. The books will be opened, including the Book of Life, and they will be judged and face their eternal doom.
Les explains that Christ was God and never laid aside His deity; He laid aside His glory, but never His deity. God the Son stood before the Roman governor, but one day, unless that governor was saved, he will stand before the same one—this time in His role as Judge and the Almighty God. Les says all the great men of this world will one day stand before Him to be judged and to face their eternal doom. The books were opened, including the Book of Life. The surrounding context also shows Israel on trial, with Pilate washing his hands and claiming innocence, though the transcript challenges that claim.
