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.

Who is your little queen in the home? She ministers food to you. Is that right? (What you're late on now.) But when she ministers to you, that's what... The bride ministers to Christ, the Word.

There's just going to be a few of them go on. We know that "As it was in the days of Noah eight souls were saved, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man." There just be a few souls saved.

Now, remember, the true Bride... Now, there is a false bride. We get that in Revelation 17. She says, "I am a widow and have no need of nothing," sitting upon the scarlet-colored beast, and so forth, (or beast rather). But the true Bride will be made up of thousands times thousands of people. But it will be the Elect out of every Church Age-every time a message went forth and the people believed it, and accepted it in all of the light it was, when they were sealed away until that day of Redemption. Don't Jesus spea...

Oh, praise the Lord Jesus! Watch here, how the Word cannot fail. Now watch here in Isaiah. I got it wrote down here, if I can find it again. Just a minute. Isaiah 4:5. Now listen, he's talking of the coming of the Lord, how that women would be so immoral. Oh, he said, "Seven women..." Listen, let's just read it. Look here: And in that day seven women shall take ahold of one man, saying, We'll eat our own bread, ... wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.

Now, there'll be... The first that'll take place will be the coming of the bride. There will be people in the world... Now, you might different a little with this, but listen close. Just because that you accepted Christ as personal Saviour, that doesn't mean that you're going in the rapture. That's for the elect, that'll go in the rapture. There'll be a remnant left here on earth that'll go through the persecution and the great tribulation. The church will be caught up in the rapture.
