Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

But in all seriousness, we are called on the Last Day to appear before Him. But we must differentiate the particular Judgement from the general Judgement. They are different and happen at different times. The particular Judgement happens immediately after death.

I want the Bema rewarding judgement seat. The GREAT WHITE THRONE judgment is reserved for the unsaved.
