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."*
