Notes on Judgement and John

Mankind was warned by John that the time of judgement was upon them. With the coming of the lord all mankind were either saved or damned. Many including John the Baptist were surprised and confused by Jesus' ministry, they expected him to come as a King in judgement. The part they missed is that we are judged at death and the judgement is not of this world but absolute in the next.

To Understand my faith better I have decided to construct these pages. They are strictly educational, non-commercial and to foster scholarly discussion. All Bible quotes are from the New International Version unless otherwise stated. I use the NIV because while not a perfect translation, certainly the best available. All mistakes are my own and if you differ from my thoughts I welcome your comments. J. Barry O'Connell Jr.
