Question: Please say something about the time of the judgments in Matthew 25, Revelation 19, and Ezekiel 37. Is there any portion in Scripture which supports the common idea of a general judgment?
Answer: The judgment of the living nations in Matthew 25 is a seasonal judgment, that is, the Lord as King will sit on the throne of His glory, and the living nations (Gentiles) be gathered before Him.
It will take place after the Lord comes out from heaven with us in manifested glory. The judgment is final, therefore “everlasting” in its results.
The warrior judgment in Revelation 19 takes place before this. Ezekiel 37 will not be fulfilled until Israel and Judah, the ten tribes and two tribes, shall be “one” in the land of Jehovah. Scripture nowhere speaks of a general judgment.
Question: What is having the heart sprinkled from an evil conscience, Hebrews 10:22? Is it practical walk?
Answer: It is rather the position in which the blood of Christ has set us. See 1 Peter 1:2.
Question: If wisdom in Proverbs 8 means the Lord Jesus, what is the meaning of “I was set up,” and “I was brought forth”? Does ver. 31 mean that Christ was looking forward to the future?
Answer: The whole passage is highly poetic and figurative. Now inasmuch as Christ is “the wisdom of God,” in this wonderful scripture, Christians of all ages have discerned the description of Christ Himself. Such phrases as you allude to are not to describe His beginning, but rather to show as far as human language can, that He was ever with God, “set up from everlasting” being equivalent to this.
Ver. 31 describes the delight Jehovah ever had in man, and His dwelling with him, a subject alluded to throughout Scripture (Ex. 15; John 14), but not consummated till sin is banished forever in the new heavens and earth (Rev. 21:3).
