Is Judgment Day real

Answer 1

yes

ANOTHER ANSWER:

"Judgment Day" is one of those terms [like "apocalypse"] that few people understand, that, thanks to modern Hollywood entertainment, teamed with false religious and secular teaching, conjures up images of lots of death, destruction and other pyrotechnic displays.

Just as "apocalypse," for instance doesn't mean "a giant asteroid is on course to destroy planet earth" [apocalypse has no more sinister meaning than: "the REVEALING"]… neither is the REAL "Judgment Day" revealed in The Bible what most people think - as vague as this world's teachings are about it is.

Everyone's idea about it is different.

"Judgment Day" is the LAST PHASE of GOD'S PLAN for His creation… a plan that very few people know and understand, thanks to the lying, deceptive god man chose to worship and obey in the beginning [see Gen.3], the Great Dragon, Satan the Devil [Rev.12:9].

The annual outline for His Plan is found in the 23rd chapter of the book of Leviticus, which few people read… much less grasp what it's saying.

In Leviticus 23, the repetitive "seven yearly phases" of God's Plan [which if believed, understood and observed each year by God's servants would keep them in remembrance of it] follows a pattern of the annual "crop-growing seasons;" the early "spring harvest" and the more abundant "fall harvest" at the end, or the last days, of the year:

The first three Spring Harvest Phases:

Phase One: The Passover [the shedding of God's Blood for the Salvation of the world and mankind].

Phase Two: The Days of Unleavened Bread [the opening of the Truth of God's inspired Word to the hearts and minds of those who "believe" and "trust" {have Faith} in what it says].

Phase Three: Pentecost [the conception of a Child of God within a human spirit with the miracle Seed of God's Holy Spirit, made available to anyone of any and all nations where the Faith of Abraham exists - see Gal.3:7]

The last four Fall Harvest Phases:

Phase Four: The Feast of Trumpets [the seven"trumpet plagues" of the book of Revelation are counted down for those called servants of God who are able to see it in this "narrative parable" that Christ gave to John for God's servants to know and understand what's soon coming upon planet earth and mankind - see Rev.1:1-3. Jesus Christ returns at "the sounding of the LAST TRUMPET" - see Matt.24:31; I Thess.4:16; I Cor.15:52; Rev.11:15-18. The Feast of Trumpets begins as the FIRST PART in the Last Days of God's Plan on the Day God has assigned to it in Leviticus 23: the Day of the LORD; the Day when Jesus Christ returns to earth to establish His Kingdom upon it, along with Justice and Equity - Isa.9:6-7].

Phase Five: The Day of Atonement [on that Day, Satan will be captured and bound for a thousand years… unable to persuade and deceive the nations, hearts, and minds {spirits} of men, as Christ and His Immortal Chosen Servants {during this present time of this early spring harvest} run things and rule on planet earth. On that Day after Christ returns, He will "lay the sins of the world" that He has borne for man, during this early spring harvest time dispensation - lay them"upon the head of him whose sins they REALLY ARE - SATAN THE DEVIL!" See Lev.16]

Phase Six: The Feast of Tabernacles [thethousand-year "Sabbath Day" rule of the Kingdom of God on earth -- Rev.20:1-6!]

PHASE SEVEN: JUDGMENT DAY [The LAST GREAT DAY OF THE FEAST {of Tabernacles}; of the Thousand Year Rule of Christ on earth. Judgment Day is the Day of "assessment." The Day when the experiences of all men's lives, saved in the memory banks of their spirits, will be reviewed and"rewarded" accordingly. The recorded Books of the Bible will be laid open… the most BESTSELLING BOOK THROUGHOUT HISTORY… and everyone who has ever lived and died will be MEASURED against what is written in those books; AGAINST THE THINGS THEY'D DONE IN THEIR LIVES! - John 12:48-48; Rev.20:11-15; see also Dan.7:10]:

"'See, I AM COMING SOON, and MY REWARD IS WITH ME, to REPAY ALL according to their deeds." (Rev.22:12 NLT New Living Translation)

Judgment Day is indeed real. It's slated for the LAST GREAT DAY of God's Plan for the majority of mankind. But it's also GOING ON RIGHT NOW for the Household of God here on earth:

"For the time is come that JUDGMENT MUST BEGIN AT THE HOUSE OF GOD: and IF IT BEGIN FIRST AT US, what shall the end be of them that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL [good news] OF GOD?" (I Peter 4:17)

For those whom God is calling now… those who should know, understand and be conforming to God's Truth through OBEDIENCE to it… God's Judgment is much more severe and His punishment all the more harsh:

"Do not be eager, my brethren, for many among you to become teachers [leaders of the church]; for you know that WE TEACHERS SHALL UNDERGO SEVERER JUDGMENT. For we often stumble and fall, ALL OF US. If there is any one who never stumbles in speech, that man has reached maturity of character and is able to curb his whole nature." (James 3:1-2 NLT)

But most people think God's Judgment will cause the vast majority of mankind who have never heard… much less grasped the Truth of His Word or received His Holy Spirit within them… will also automatically fall under His wrath. But that's not what the Scriptures reveal about Judgment Day, the Last Great Day of God's Plan.

Jesus Christ, the MAN, KEPT and OBSERVED THE HOLY DAYS THAT HE GAVE TO MOSES TO RECORD IN LEVITICUS 23 FOR HIS SERVANTS TODAY. And Jesus has THIS to say to mankind as a glimpse into what that Day will be like for the vast majority of mankind who had never been called by God during the Early Spring Harvest, but who shall appear before His throne in the Great Fall Harvest:

"IN THE LAST DAY, that GREAT DAY OF THE FEAST [the EIGHTH DAY of the Feast of Tabernacles that pictures JUDGMENT DAY], JESUS STOOD and CRIED, saying, IF ANY MAN THIRST, LET HIM COME UNTO ME, and drink. HE THAT BELIEVETH ON ME, AS THE SCRIPTURES HATH SAID [believes in Him according to the Scriptures… not as so many false denominations of "Christianity" teach], OUT OF HIS BELLY SHALL FLOW RIVERS OF LIVING WATER. (But this spake He of the {Holy} Spirit, which they that believe on Him should receive: for the Holy Spirit was not yet given: because that Jesus was not yet Glorified.)" (John 7:37-39)

Judgment Day IS REAL. It's going on, now, for those whom God is presently calling out of the world to rule with Him in the world to come. And it waits for those on that Last Day of God's Plan who never heard or knew about it.

"And since it is reserved for ALL MANKIND ONCE TO DIE, and afterwards TO BE JUDGED; so the Christ also, having been once offered in Sacrifice in order that He might BEAR THE SINS OF MANY, WILL APPEAR A SECOND TIME, separated from sin [by the Day of Atonement], TO THOSE WHO ARE EAGERLY EXPECTING HIM, to MAKE THEIR SALVATION COMPLETE." (Heb.9:27-28 NLT)

Answer 2

It's NOT going to come because me and my pals, a Beheeyem named Space Bar

and an Elgyem named Sticky are smarter than the un-scientific people who wrote

the Bible.

Answer

Judging by the incorrect grammar, syntax and layout in the pseudo-answer above, the writer doesn't seem quite as 'smart' as he thinks he is. Nor, maybe, is he as wise as the Biblical writers.

Christians worship Jesus Christ as God incarnate and as a result trust in his words and his deeds. This trust is born out in his teaching and in the many miracles that he performed, not least his own rising from the dead. While the people of those times were 'unscientific' in the modern sense of the word, they were certainly intelligent and rational (let's not forget that the Greeks set out the basis for all modern mathematics, especially geometry. The ancient Arabs were excellent astronomers. The Egyptians were first-class builders - just look at the pyramids as an example). And in those days, the news spread of the resurrection of Jesus so quickly that the Christian Church mushroomed throughout the Roman Empire despite great persecution. And lives are still being changed today by this one simple carpenter from Nazareth.

One of Jesus' promises was his resurrection - which categorically happened, or the Christian Church would not be here today. Another promise was that he would one day return to judge the earth. Christians, therefore cannot accept one promise and not the other.

Thus the return of Jesus Christ to judge the earth will happen one day. We do not know when, but it will happen - if we are to trust in Jesus' promise. Judgement will be of the dead and the living, black and white, male and female, gay and straight - and idiots and the wise. Let's hope that the answerer above choses the path of humility and wisdom in the rest of his life rather than glib pseudo-intelligent smugness, as this really has no place on this forum.
