is an ongoing process. The judgment doesn't take place at one time by Christ, and the information that we've been told about the judgment is some kind of sandbox illustration that the Lord wants us to believe, even though it really doesn't happen that way. And what I'm suggesting is that the information that we have demonstrates that Christ goes through in an orderly fashion in the judgment. He begins with the dead, and there comes a point when he begins judging the living, and we're also told in connection with that that judgment begins at the house of God, and after the house of God, judgment will proceed out into the world. So we need to see this process of the judgment as an ongoing thing that had a beginning point, 1844, and an ending point when Michael stands up and human probation closes. And in that sequence, first the dead are judged and then the living, and in that sequence, first God's house, and then those that are outside of God's house. This is from Review and Herald, January 11th, 1887. It is possible to be a formal partial believer and yet be found wanting and lose eternal life. It is possible to practice some of the Bible injunctions and be regarded as a Christian and yet perish because you are lacking in essential qualifications that constitute Christian character. The destroying angels have the commission from the Lord, begin at my sanctuary. And they began at the ancient men which were before the house. If the warnings which God has given are neglected or regarded with indifference, if you suffer sin to be cherished, you are sealing your soul's destiny. You are weighed in the balances and found wanting. Grace, peace, and pardon will be withdrawn forever. Jesus will have passed by, never again to come within the reach of your prayers and entreaties. While mercy still lingers, while Jesus is making intercession for us, let us make thorough work for eternity. Now here Sister White says, begins at the sanctuary, but if you notice very closely what she says, there's a point where if we're not going to live up to the life that's been given to us, and it comes our time in the judgment, we're going to be found wanting. And then she says, after that, after we're found wanting, the Lord will never listen to our prayers again. So what she's saying there is there is a time when living people will be judged and they will be lost, but they will continue to live for a certain amount of time, but the Lord's not going to hear their prayers. Now I would suggest that this begins at the Sunday Law, where the church is divided by that test, and then it's going to proceed out into the world. Christ Object Lessons, page 310.
