The Judgement of Jesus = the Acquittal


Book Description

Hebrews 9.27-28 says, 'And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment, so Christ [Messiah] was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear a second time without sin unto salvation.' Now, after reading the title, 'The Judgment of Jesus = the Acquittal, ' a Christian may say, 'Hey, Jesus was the Son of God; He did not need any kind of Acquittal;' and, from my little dealings with some Jewish brethren, Jesus is considered to have been a Prophet who suffered a horrible death; and was an accursed prophet. Now, if the Jewish brethren are right, Jesus would need from God, an Acquittal. To address the two different opinions, let's refer to the writings of Paul, the Apostle in Galatians 3.13. He writes, "Christ [Messiah] has redeemed us from the curse of the law [Torah], having become a curse for us, for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree" [Deut. 21.23]. Therefore, if what the Apostle Paul says is true--that Christ became a curse for us--then Jesus would need from God an acquittal, because to be cursed equals damnation. According to 2 Peter 1:20-21, it says, "knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit." Therefore, by using the Word of God, and some Prophets' lives as examples, I will attempt to bring to light, through this book, the revelation of this vision: 1) Jesus, the anointed of God, 2) His judgment after death [according to Hebrews 9:27]; and 3) His ultimate Acquittal.




God's Glory in Salvation through Judgment


Book Description

In Exodus 34 Moses asks to see God's glory, and God reveals himself as a God who is merciful and just. James Hamilton Jr. contends that from this passage comes a biblical theology that unites the meta-narrative of Scripture under one central theme: God's glory in salvation through judgment. Hamilton begins in the Old Testament by showing that Israel was saved through God's judgment on the Egyptians and the Caananites. God was glorified through both his judgment and mercy, accorded in salvation to Israel. The New Testament unfolds the ultimate display of God's glory in justice and mercy, as it was God's righteous judgment shown on the cross that brought us salvation. God's glory in salvation through judgment will be shown at the end of time, when Christ returns to judge his enemies and save all who have called on his name. Hamilton moves through the Bible book by book, showing that there is one theological center to the whole Bible. The volume's systematic method and scope make it a unique resource for pastors, professors, and students.

The Biblical Doctrine of Judgment


Book Description

The doctrine of the final judgment enshrines many important truths. It streses man's accountability and the certainty that justice will finally triumph over all the wrongs which are part and parcel of life here and now. The former gives a dignity to the humblest action, the latter brings calmness and assurance to those in the thick of the battle. The doctrine gives meaning to life. . . . The Christian view of judgment means that history moves to a goal. . . . Judgment protects the idea of the triumph of God and of good. . . . Judgment means that in the end God's will will be erfectively done. --from chapter 4
