102 JESUS IS COMING.
The expression is not in the Scriptures. Pre-millen-
nialists believe that the Judgment is general, only in the
sense that all are judged but not all at the same time.
The Judgment of believers, as sinners, is past, being
accomplished in Christ on the cross.
"He that heareth my word, and believeth on Him that
sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into con-
demnation (Greek, Judgment) ; but is passed from death
unto life." John 5:24. See also John 3:17-19 (R. V.)
Judged instead of condemned. 18
There is a Judgment day coming, not a day of twenty-
four hours, but a long series of years. Day is used to
designate such a period in 2 Cor. 6 :2 ; Eph. 6 :13, and Heb.
19
3:8. The "Hour" in John 5:25, has been over eighteen
centuries long. So "the hour" in John 5:28 may be cen-
turies of years.
This "Day of Judgment"** is also called "The Day of
6 5
the Lord," "The Last Day,"* and "The Great Day."*
