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.

The choosing of a Bride

The other is pregnated by the Word of God and will bring forth the body, the finished body of Jesus Christ---which is the bride. The body of Christ isn't finished yet. How many knows that? A man and woman is one. And Christ is one body, the Word---the bride will have to be the rest of that body. And the two together makes the one body again, like Adam was at the beginning. A man and his wife are one. Now, she---the true bride---so sold out to Him that she uses no mind of her own. His mind, of course, is His will, a...

Revelations chapter 12 does not pertain to the bride. Revelations chapter 12 (I haven't looked it up but I know it), it's the woman standing in the sun with the moon under her feet. The moon represented the law; the woman represented Israel, the church; and the twelve stars in her forehead was those twelve apostles, twelve church ages, and so forth, which just passed. See? And the sun was at her head. Which you see, the moon is a shadow of the sun, which the law was a shadow of good things to come. And that woman i...

How striking, now! He takes the place where we are to dwell in through the same process. Now He's called the church through justification; called it through sanctification; then filled it with the Holy Ghost and fire, and He took it through a process that He Himself, the Holy Spirit Himself, the Son of God, could dwell in the human heart. Now it has to go through that before He can come into it. Notice, He done the world (where that bride is going to live in) the same way---his same plan of salvation.

And there that bride's looking to the coming of the Lord Jesus, with that secret, secret coming of Christ shall come and catch away his bride in the night. Like a book I read of Romeo and Juliet one time, how he come with a ladder and got his bride out among them. That's what ... Jesus will come some day and looking for that. He's not looking to his creeds, but looking to Christ, waiting for Him to come, with his heart centered. They come blood relation like Isaac and Rebekah---own blood relation. That's what we ha...
