Hebrew chapter 9:27 states "It is appointed onto men once to die and after that the judgment". The big question is, does the righteous too face the judgment?
Jesus Christ, the chief Judge on the day of judgment says, " Truly, truly I say unto you, he who hear my words and believe him who sent me has eternal life; he does not come into judgment but has passed from death to life" (John 5:22-24).
Lazarus upon death did not come into judgment but passed from death to life. Angels took his spirit to heaven and rest in the bosom of Abraham. So he was not judged. ( Luke 16:19-31).
Roman chapter 8:1 states that there is therefore now no condemnation unto them that are in Christ Jesus. Those that were slain for the testimony of Jesus are before the alter of God in heaven(Rev. 6:9-11).
During the second coming of Jesus Christ, known as the rapture, the death in Christ shall rise up first and be caught up together with the living to meet the Lord in the sky (1thes 4:1-end). The did not stand before judgement.
Jesus said unto the robber on the cross, " Truly I say unto you today shall thou be with me in paradise". He did not come into judgment but went directly to paradise"( Luke 23:43).
In Revelation chapter 20:1-4, the death in Christ resurrected and sat on thrones to judge and not to be judged.
NOW WHO FACE THE JUDGEMENT?
As required in this world only a law breaker should be arrested by a law enforcement agency; first the law breaker has to be tried in court and if found guilty, will be sentenced to life imprisonment or be condemned to death as required by the law. The very procedure is also applicable to all those who died as sinners.
In the book of Isaiah chapter 24:21-22 it is stated that on the coming day of judgment, some lawbreakers shall be put into prison and later be judged.
In Revelation chapter 20:1-end, those law barkers who did not resurrect during the resurrection of the saints later resurrected and appeared before the great white throne judgment and were judged according to what is written in the books and if anyone's name is not found written in the book of life were cast into the lake of fire which is the second death.
Now in the case of the rich man and Lazarus, the rich man being a lawbreaker found himself in the lake of fire as a judgment.
Thefore Hebrew 9:27 should be re-written as, It is appointed unto sinners to die once and after that the judgment" and not to include all men. This will go in line with all the prophecies both in the old and New Testament backing the re-appearance of the biblical prophets as saints who are free from judgment and reborn to fulfilling various assignments from one generation to another.
So teaching without a corresponding link becomes an error.
Most Christains only accepted Hebrew 9:27 without balancing the scripture. Most bible preachers are only one sided in their teaching.
Teaching of scriptural passages is like the work of an accountant and Bank official who must ensure that the debit and credit side in the account record is balanced and that is also the work of an Auditor.
They don't audit the bible to ensure that the negative (which is the Debit) and the positive side ( which is the Credit Side) is balanced on the pulpit because they are lot of contradictions in the bible.
So each one only teaches either the negative or the positive side that suite himself and in that same understanding introduce it in theological schools as the acceptable standard. The question is who introduced the standard? So bringing the positive and the negative side to make it one is their biggest problem on the pulpit.
Take for example, one portion of the Bible is written "God is a killer" and the other portion of the bible states "God is not a killer". How to bring the two portions together in order to become one is the problem.
Prophet Goodnews Adolphus audits most portion of the bible in order to make it one without contradictions as an accountant and not only depending on either the debit or credit side.
In order to audit the financial records, you have to do a thorough research to find out any missing figure to balance the record so that it does not seen as one sided record. Thefore prophet Isaiah wrote: "Seek from the book of the Lord; none shall be missing and none shall be without her mate" (Isaiah 34:16).
Meaning the prophetic words in the bible is balanced and each words has it's corresponding link within the bible and not outside the bible; so none is missing and none without her mate.
These correspondences are found in the prophetic books from Prophet Isaiah to Malachi and some prophecies given from Genesis to the book of Revelation. This does not include historical narratives which are subject to errors and may not have the exact correspondence quite unlike prophecies.
Therefore in accounting during auditing such figure without a corresponding link is removed in order to balance up the debit and credit side and same is applicable to the bible and also in the Koran and other religions books. Such teachings which does not has it's corresponding link should be ignored in order to create a balance.
The argument as regards re-incarnation stated in the days of the Apostles as some false preachers and prophets of certain religious organization taught that a sinner must die and re-incarnate several times until he come to perfection as is being argued even in this modern times by those very ancient religions.
That is reason why Apostle Paul wrote in Hebrew 9:27 to debunk that all men die ones and after that the judgment which is quite contrary to the fulfillment of the biblical prophecies in respect of the re-appearance of certain biblical saints who are totally free from judgment whose spirits put on another flesh to perform the same or similar assignment as God's faithful messengers including the sons of perdition such as the Antichrist (Rev. 17:8-11).
Also in corresponding to the two Witnesses such as Elijah and Moses revealed to re-appear in the end-times according to Revelation chapter 11 who were born by women and to be reborn like the Antichrist.
The spirit of Abraham re-appeared in the body of Simeon who was told that he will not see death until he had seen the Lord Jesus Christ the Messiah and of whom the Messiah said to the Jews that, Abraham saw him and was glad ( John 8:56 ). The spirit of Elijah returned in the flesh of John the Baptist; thefore John the Baptist was the Elijah in another flesh as Jesus testified(Luke 1:13-17 and Mat. 11:7-15)
The body of a man dies and return to the earth and becomes dust because from the dust it was formed but the spirit in the man either goes to the place of punishment awaiting trial if he dies as a sinner or to God in paradise if he dies as a saint depending if he has completed his days.
The body of the man is like a container and the spirit is the content. This content can be emptied into any other container; but the quality of the container may not be exactly like the first container but the content is the same like in the first container.
Certain product we buy in the market could have the same taste but the container could be re-designed differently and even made of higher quality all to attract the buyer.
So is the body of the man containing the spirit. The body bearing the spirit could be made of different races, cultural background, from one generation to another which may confuse you unless you have the spiritual eye to recognize it but the taste is the same as the original. The same spirit could come with a new message for a different assignment as already predicted.
More of these mysteries will be revealed in my articles on the end-time events.
