The Bema and White Throne

Judgment is the process of discernment - bringing truth to light.

For the Body of Christ this takes place at the bema, the judgment seat of Christ.  For all others it is the Great White Throne.

All will be led by the Holy Spirit into the presence of pure Love, pure Light.  Each will have joyfully received the Savior, some without seeing Him, others upon seeing Him in His Glory. There each one's life will be laid bare for them. Jesus will gently discern to each the purpose the flesh (the Adamic nature) has served in Father's work.
There also, having served its purpose, the flesh will be stripped away, forever consumed, leaving only the pure, flawless vessel of Father's making, a perfect and unique expression of Father's Glory.  There, all wrongs will have been made right, tears turned to joy, sorrows to rejoicing.
When the last has been purified thus, Jesus will yield His reign to the Father, and with our Savior pre-eminent, Father will at last be All in all. 
And that dear friends is the end of the beginning.  Beyond that we have only the faintest glimpses.  We only know that it has not entered into our thinking what Father has in store next.
