Does 2 Corinthians 5:10 really teach an “end of time judgment” ? By comparing scripture with scripture, the judgment of 2 Corinthians 5:10 falls squarely within the lifetime of Jesus’ contemporary generation. This fact, combined with the first century context of the “end of the world” (age), helps us to understand Jesus’ words in 2 Corinthians 5:10 as the judgment of the Old Covenant world in AD70, and the judgment of all men who lived under that world.
