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.

An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages
CAB 7:E-92
Now let us go another step, but before we do let us review our case thus far. First of all we know most assuredly that the purpose of God stands in election. It was purposed in Himself. It was God's purpose to bring forth a people like unto Himself that would be a Word Bride. She was chosen before the foundation of the world IN HIM. She was fore-known and beloved before she was ever brought forth during the ages upon the earth. She was redeemed by His blood and can NEVER come into condemnation. She can never be in...
An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages
CAB 9:E-116
Now I said a moment ago that the false vine came into full fruition in this age. Her fruit would mature and ripen. That is correct. This evil-spirited church, full of iniquity, will be revealed as the mustard seed that grew into a tree wherein lodged the fowls of the air. At her head will be the antichrist, the mystery of iniquity. All this is true. And if this is true, then it must also be true that the Bride Church will mature, and her ripeness shall be an identification with her Lord by means of the Word, and he...
The choosing of a Bride
65-0429E §69
I remember one time a prophet went up to take a king ... to make a king out of Jesse's sons, to take another king's place, Saul. And so Jesse brought him out and---he was a great big, fine boy---and said, "The crown will look right on his head." And the prophet went to pour oil on him, and said, "God has refused him." And he refused every one of them, till he come to a little old stoop-shouldered, ruddy-looking fellow. And he poured the oil upon him, and he said, "God chose him." See, we choose by sight; God choose...

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...
