Judgement (Proverbs 20:8)

A king sit son the throne and is supposed to have no evil surrounding him.

"A king who sits on the throne of judgement winnows out all evil [like chaff] with his eyes." Proverbs 20:8, Amplified

A king must sit on the throne of judgement, for if he does not do so, evil is allowed to run rampant in his kingdom. Jesus is not that King as of yet, but He will come to take possession of HIs throne very soon. The signs all point to the end being near.

Evil hides from righteousness. When we die, we will all face a judgment. There are those who never accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Those will have to go through the White Throne Judgement, which will ultimately end in Hell. Then there are those of us who have accepted the work of Jesus on the cross. We will have to face a judgment as well. "But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ." (Romans 14:10, NKJV) This judgement in the original language translates to beama, this is the beamaseat of Christ. It is that time in our lives when we will have to answer for everything that we have done, separating the wheat from the chaff if you will. Paul talks about this concept elsewhere. "For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each one's work will will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is." (First Corinthians 3:11-13, NKJV) That fire is the judgement; all our works will be judged by fire, burning the wood, hay and straw and leaving the gold, silver and precious stones.
