Revelation 20:11-15 — No chair. No floor. No ground beneath your feet. This is

what every unsaved person will face at the great white throne judgment.

⛪ Preached at Pilgrim Baptist Church • Cookeville, TN • June 14, 2026.

📚 Part of our verse-by-verse expository series through the Seven Judgments of God

This expository preaching message walks through Revelation 20:11-15, the final

judgment of the unsaved dead before eternity begins. Every person from Adam to the

end of the millennial kingdom who never trusted Christ will stand before God at the

great white throne judgment — with nothing to stand on, nothing to hide behind, and

nothing left to argue.

If you've ever heard someone say they can't accept the idea of eternal judgment, or

that God is unfair to send anyone to hell, this message is for you. The great white

throne judgment is the moment every argument against God collapses — the tables

sinners tried to turn on God will be turned on themselves. This is not a popular

topic, but it is one every person needs to understand before it's too late.

This verse-by-verse exposition connects Revelation 20 with 1 Corinthians 6 (believers

will not be judged here, but will participate in this judgment), Isaiah 64:6 (our

righteousness is filthy rags), and Psalm 32:5 (the depth of God's forgiveness for

those who confess). The sermon explains the books that are opened, the Book of Life,

and why the basis of this judgment — works — is exactly why every person needs the

free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ instead.

This sermon walks through Revelation 20:11-15, explaining:

- The great white throne judgment is the final judgment before eternity

- This judgment is for the unsaved dead only — believers will not be judged here

- "Books" of works are opened alongside the Book of Life

- Names are written in the Book of Life at conception and blotted out by rejecting Christ

- Every person will be judged according to their works if they reject grace

- God is no respecter of persons — fame and status mean nothing at this judgment

- Man is without excuse: creation, Scripture, the church, and conscience all testify of God

- Evolution is exposed as a false religion at this judgment

- Isaiah 64:6 — our righteousness is filthy rags before a holy God

- Psalm 32:5 — the thoroughness of God's forgiveness for sin, iniquity, and transgression

- Salvation by grace through faith vs. judgment by works

- This is the second death — the lake of fire
