judged
The final judgment. The subjects are the "dead." As the redeemed were raised from among the dead one thousand years before (Revelation 20:5) and have been in glory with Christ during that period, the "dead" can only be the wicked dead, from the beginning to the setting up of the great white throne in space. As there are degrees of punishment (Luke 12:27); (Luke 12:48) the dead are judged according to their works. The book of life is there to answer such as plead their works for justification, for example (Matthew 7:22); (Matthew 7:23) an awful blank where the name might have been.
