In the final harvest judgment, that of the wheat and grapes before the great white throne, there will be two classes of defendants - (1) the Father and (2) all sinners, past and present.

Our Father in Heaven, the one Almighty God, Yahweh, has been falsely accused by Satan of being unfair, unjust, a murderer, a liar and a tyrant. These are all characteristics of Satan, the accuser, who projects them onto the Father. These accusations have been taken up and repeated by other (wheat and grape) enemies.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. John 8:44

The most important part of this Great White Throne judgment is proving that Yahweh, the Father is completely just, loving, fair, honest, faithful, dependable and true. Our Father is on trial before the universe as a defendant against the false accusations of Satan.

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of El: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; Isaiah 14:12-16

As the Father's innocence is proven the sense of guilt in sinners will increase in inverse proportion. The sinful defendants will see and admit and be converted and bow before the Almighty.

The first proof is that the Father exists - I am.

This will be a shock to the atheists and agnostics. Their lives were built on the premise that there was no God or that he was dead.

This won't take much proof because there he will be in his glory and majesty. How could anyone, in His presence, doubt or deny His existence?

The Deists will be forced to admit that the Father did care and intercede.

The evolutionists will see that they were created and have a Father who loves them.

The Marxists, communists and socialists will admit that there is only one just, perfect law, given by our Father.

The idolaters will admit that there is only one true God and their idols were nothing.

The murderers and liars and sorcerers and whoremongers will see the results of their sins.

The whole Great Controversy between Yahweh and Satan will be laid out. Satan will be unmasked and revealed as the liar, accuser and murderer from the beginning (see When All is Revealed).

The loving Father didn't do all that killing and hate. It was Satan, the destroyer.

For the Son of man [the image of his Father] is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. Luke 9:56

With the Father's love and innocence proven, every knee will bend in worship of the Father.

Every sinner will be shown their own deeds, judged by their own measure, as their own jury and convinced of the Father's innocence and their own guilt.

These are the defendants, the innocent Father and the guilty sinners.
