According to the Concordant Literal New Testament version of Revelation 20:12, every last person judged at the Great White Throne is subsequently condemned and sent to the lake of fire, which is the second death (Revelation 20:14). None of us deny that these unbelievers are eventually liberated from the lake of fire when death is abolished and God becomes all in all (1 Corinthians 15:28), but is it true that when the book of life is opened not one single person at the Great White Throne is judged favorably?

Those at the Great White Throne are judged according to their acts, not their faith. We all know faithless people whose lives are spent doing good deeds. Are not these deeds recognized at a judgment primarily known FOR the recognition of them (Revelation 20:12)?

None of this makes sense. And yet God's Word need not conform itself to our definition of "sense." Must we then surrender to the prospect of not seeing our unbelieving loved ones again until the consummation of the eons?

Fear not! Mr. A.E. Knoch, the translator of the Concordant Literal New Testament, did a strange, uncharacteristic–and in my opinion, AWFUL—thing when confronted with Revelation 20:12 and the Greek word "krino." Leave the Greek texts to speak for themselves and watch what REALLY happens with your loved ones at the Great White Throne.
