Question

What does hoti elthen he hora tes kriseos autou ("for the hour of his judgment is come") mean? What is this judgment -- the cross, the second coming, the investigative/pre-advent judgment, or something else? Why does the aorist elthen present it as an accomplished fact? How does krisis (G2920) differ from katakrima (G2631)? Trace krisis through the LXX to Daniel 7's dina. How does Daniel 7:22 establish this judgment is FOR believers? How can judgment be "good news"? Does the pre-advent judgment undermine assurance? Address using Daniel 12:1, 1 John 4:17, Romans 8:1,33-34, John 5:24. How does Romans 2:16 prove judgment IS gospel content?
