THE MEANING OF THE TERM “JUDGE.”

“1. It is used in the Bible in the sense of a trial according to law and evidence; the idea being drawn from a civil or criminal court....JEO 95.1

“2. It signifies a penal judgment; or the execution of judgment.JEO 95.2

“The terms are both used in reference to the judgment of the human race. All men will be brought to trial, or into judgment, and all their deeds and their moral characters will be examined, and their everlasting states will be determined by the evidence produced from God’s books, including the book of life, which will decide the moral character and everlasting destiny of each individual of Adam’s race. If their names are found in ‘the book of life,’ they will be saved; and if not found there, they will be cast into the lake of fire, the second death. But the degree of reward or punishment will be graduated by what each one has done....JEO 95.3
