Sister, I beg to differ.

It is not ‘obvious’ at all. It’s not stated that only the unrighteous dead will be judged.

When will the righteous from the Millenium be judged?

Quote:
And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. (Revelation 20:11-13)
Here it says that the dead, small and great, would stand before God.

It does not say the unrighteous dead, it just says ‘dead’.

Then it says that the book of life was opened, as well as other ‘books’. The dead were judged out of the books.

And the verse you left out:
“And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." (Revelation 20:15) ... which, by its wording, seems to indicate that some were found in the book of life.

So, I would not assume that ‘dead’ means ‘unrighteous dead’. It’s not there.

Jesus Himself said that the saved would not be judged at the Great White Throne judgment:
Quote:
And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. (John 12:47-48)
Those who reject Christ are judged at the Great White Throne judgment.
Yes, but it doesn’t say ONLY those who rejected Christ will be there.

To say otherwise, sister, is to add to God’s words, imho.
