Question

What happens at the end of the millennium? Who is judged at the great white throne? How does this final judgment relate to the Daniel 7 court scene and the Day of Atonement? How does the book of life function as the DOA determination -- whose sins are covered vs. whose are not? What is the "second death," and how does the overcomer promise at Smyrna (Rev 2:11) connect to it?

OVERCOMING (from Revelation overcomer promises)

  • Ephesus (Rev 2:7): tree of life
  • Smyrna (Rev 2:11): not hurt of second death
  • Pergamos (Rev 2:17): hidden manna, white stone
  • Thyatira (Rev 2:26): power over nations
  • Sardis (Rev 3:5): white raiment, not blotted from book of life
  • Philadelphia (Rev 3:12): pillar in temple
  • Laodicea (Rev 3:21): sit with me in my throne
  • General (Rev 21:7): inherit all things

Note: The Sardis overcomer promise (Rev 3:5) directly connects to the book of life theme in this study -- "I will not blot out his name out of the book of life" (cf. Exo 32:33; Psa 69:28).
