Will the Bride Go Through the Great White Throne Judgement and Be Judged?
1) Direct answer
No. The Bride will not stand at the Great White Throne to be judged. She has already passed from judgment into life and will be with Christ in that hour.
2) Scriptural explanation
- John 5:24: “He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
- Romans 8:1: “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.”
- Revelation 20:6: Those in the first resurrection “shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years,” and “on such the second death hath no power.”
- Revelation 20:11-15 shows the Great White Throne after the thousand years, where the dead are judged.
- 1 Corinthians 6:2-3: “Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? … we shall judge angels.”
- Revelation 3:21: The overcomer sits with Him in His throne.
3) Simple clarifying logic
Now notice, the White Throne comes after the Millennium. By then the Bride has already been caught up, united to the Bridegroom, and has reigned with Him a thousand years. The Scripture says the saints will judge the world, not be judged with the world. The Bride’s sins were judged at Calvary; she stands justified. She may appear at the judgment seat of Christ for reward and placement (2 Corinthians 5:10; 1 Corinthians 3:13-15), but not for condemnation at the Great White Throne.
4) Reinforcing statement
It’s not the Bride on trial there; it’s the rejected Word judging the unbelieving. The Bride is with the Judge.

God is talking about the bride here. Do you want to see another picture of her? It is over in Revelation 7:4-17, "And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.

1. His Hair as White as Snow. John first notices and mentions the whiteness of His hair. It was white, and as bright as snow. This was not because of His age. Oh, no. The brilliantly white hair does not signify age but experience, maturity, and wisdom. The Eternal One does not age. What is time to God? Time means little to God, but wisdom means much. It is as when Solomon called to God for wisdom to judge the people of Israel. Now He is coming, the Judge of all the earth. He will be crowned with wisdom. That is wha...

I believe according to Revelation 13:16 that the bride will have to stop preaching for the beast is demanding the mark in the hand or forehead if permission to preach be granted. Denominations will take the mark, or be forced to quit preaching. Then the Lamb will come for His bride and judge the great harlot.

...nce knowest Thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee." There it is. When He comes, that Word will come against all nations and all men. And none will be able to stand against it. It will reveal what was in every heart as He did with Nathanael. The Word of God will show who did the will of God and who didn't. It will make known the secret works of every man and why he did them. It will divide asunder. That is what it says in Romans 2:3,...

But some day those feet of brass will stand upon the earth. And the Judge of all the earth He shall be, and with equity and perfection will He judge mankind. And there will be no evading that judgment. No turning of that justice. There will be no tempering of it. He that is unjust will be unjust still; he that is filthy will be filthy still. The Unchanging One will not change then, for He never has and never will. Those feet of brass will crush the enemy. They will destroy the antichrist, the beast and the image an...
