The Lord Jesus said, "I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth" (John 16:12–13). And in 1 Peter 4:17 it is written: "For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God." These scriptures all prophesy that in the last days the Lord will come to express the truth and perform the work of judgment among those who believe in Him. However, many of our brothers and sisters in faith believe that because they believe in the Lord, their sins are forgiven, that they don't need to accept God's judgment, and that when the Lord comes they will be directly brought into the kingdom of heaven. Is this notion in keeping with God's words? Does believing in the Lord and having one's sins forgiven really qualify someone to enter the kingdom of heaven? What exactly is involved in God's work of judgment in the last days? What does it have to do with man being raptured into the kingdom of heaven? The crosstalk Judgment of the Last Days will reveal the answers to you.

Lord Jesus said,"Not every one that said to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of My Father which is in heaven" (Mat 7:21).
Almighty God says:"Though Jesus did much work among man, He only completed the redemption of all mankind and became man’s sin offering; He did not rid man of his corrupt disposition. Fully saving man from the influence of Satan not only required Jesus to become the sin offering and bear the sins of man, but it also required God to do even greater work to rid man completely of his satanically corrupted disposition. And so, now that man has been forgiven of his sins, God has returned to the flesh to lead man into the new age, and begun the work of chastisement and judgment. This work has brought man into a higher realm. All those who submit under His dominion shall enjoy higher truth and receive greater blessings. They shall truly live in the light, and they shall gain the truth, the way, and the life."
"In the last days, Christ uses a variety of truths to teach man, to expose the essence of man, and to dissect the words and deeds of man. These words comprise various truths, such as man’s duty, how man should obey God, how man should be loyal to God, how man ought to live out normal humanity, as well as the wisdom and the disposition of God, and so on. These words are all directed at the essence of man and his corrupt disposition. "
"In undertaking His work of judgment, God does not simply make clear the nature of man with a few words; He exposes, deals with, and prunes over the long term. These methods of exposure, dealing, and pruning cannot be substituted with ordinary words, but with the truth of which man is utterly bereft. Only methods such as these can be called judgment; only through judgment of this kind can man be subdued and thoroughly convinced into submission to God, and moreover gain true knowledge of God. What the work of judgment brings about is man’s understanding of the true face of God and the truth about his own rebelliousness."
