The Judgment of this World Is Done

John 12:31 KJV
Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

Though the world was not judged in the same sense it will be judged when the wrath of God is poured out, the world was judged in a more significant way at this time; this is when the judgment of the world was poured out in all of its fury upon the Lord Jesus Christ. Others had died the death of crucifixion but
Of no other did God make them to be sin for the whole world.
Of no other did not sun refuse to shine at the noon time and
Of no other does the Bible say their visage was so marred it was almost not possible to make him out as a man


When Christ went on the cross, the righteous for the sinner, all of the wrath of God, His judgment of the world, was focus on that one Person at the one time. Truly that was the judgment of the world. Now, any and all who will flee to Christ may find shelter and eternal safety from the wrath of God.

That this passage is specifically speaking of that judgment is demonstrated by our Lord's next statement, "...now is the prince of this world cast out." This judgment sealed the doom of Satan. This judgment finalized God's sentence against the devil.
