The Great White Throne Judgment

After one thousand years of the reign of Jesus Christ upon the earth, the great white throne judgment will take place.
It will be a judgment of all the dead from the beginning of human existence on the earth.
The only people who will not need to be judged will be the redeemed people, both dead and living, who arose to meet the Lord at the Rapture.
- Revelation 20:11-12
  - And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away, and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God, and the books were opened.
