Which judgment are you referring to? Are you referring to the Bema Seat judgment for believers (Pre-Millennium), or the Great White Throne judgment for non-believers (Post Millennium)?
Why was Jesus sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel and not to the Samaritans or the Gentiles? And why did He command His apostles to preach the gospel only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel and not to the Gentiles or to the Samaritans?
James 5
14Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
15And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
16Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Later on in life, I became ill with severe MCS and didn't have any elders of the church to call upon, so I called upon Jesus to be my elder, confessed my faults and sins, asked Him to pray over me and anoint me with oil in the name of the Lord, and poured olive oil on my head, and instantly, He healed me!

But even more important than health, is salvation. If you or he hasn't truly been born-again through repentance (godly sorrow for sin), and faith in Jesus Christ, then that's the priority. There are wolves out there teaching out of the Strong's concordance (from the false prophet James Strong) that repentance means to change one's mind (or turn from sin) - but they are lying to you - they are going outside the Bible to get that definition - the Bible never defines repentance as "turn or change", but it's always a state of sorrow for our actions (and in the case of salvation: godly sorrow for our sins). You cannot earn your way to heaven in anyway:
Ephesians 2
8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Psalms 34:18
"The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit."
Contrite is being broken hearted for your sins (Thou shalt not kill, commit adultery, steal, bear false witness, covet, not honoring parents, etc.), that's why the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ ( Gal 3:24).
Day six, God created man in his own image male and female and God told them Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish(fill) the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over all the earth. "And God saw everything that he had created and said it was very good.
In chapter 2 God rested on the seventh day. Now here the plants of the field had not grown because of no rain, and there was not a man to till the ground, a mist to water the land and LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground and placed him in the garden that LORD God made grow and every tree pleasant to the sight, and good for food for Adam the dress and keep it.
Plants on day three, and man on day six, can we honestly say this is the same?
Then LORD God said it was not good that man was alone unlike the end of day six everything was very good. So, LORD God formed beast of the field and fowl of the air out of the ground and brought them to Adam to name.
On day five we have the fowls out of the water, and day six we have the beast of the earth, cattle, and creeping things, created before man, male and female. In chapter two we have Adam formed and he was alone with no female, animals, and fowls that were formed after Adam.
Can we say this is a more detailed description of the six days?
Why do we try to make fit Adam and Eve in day six when scripture clearly shows they were not? What would it change if Adam and Eve were later, how later, or what went on before them, we are not told? The flood wiped out all but their descendants who were eight, Noah, his sons, and wives, and the line of Seth leading to Jesus, who the Bible is all about, and all humans from Adam until now are descendants of Adam?
God bless,

Thanks.
Day 6 - man
LORD God didn't plant a garden until AFTER he formed Adam. He hadn't made it rain because there wasn't a man to till the ground, but water came up from the earth. So, he formed Adam & planted a garden. God didn't wait until there was a man to till the ground, but that's exactly what LORD God had planned to do.
"And the evening and the morning were the [first] day." I highlight it yellow
It repeats after each day God created.
It's easier to keep the days separated.
When you get to chapter 3 or 5, more info of a certain day is added. So back up to the highlighted words.
Stop and read all the reference notes to other sections in the Bible.
Sometimes it helps to write it out on note paper. Just arrow in those references to other passages.
My Bible looks like the LA freeway with write ins and colors. (Laughing)
Without looking around to see what everyone else was doing (walking around, visiting friends and not working; eating breakfast on company time, etc)
I performed my duties AS UNTO THE LORD) always. I visited with friends on breaks and at lunch. I was at my desk on time. I joined the company choir at Christmas every year. I lasted 45 years plus 2 years volunteer work at my Church in benevolence. Street ministry 2-3 times a week for years.
I took care of my Dad with Alzheimer's; later my mother with Dementia.
When I retired, I didn't know what to do with myself, so I did street ministry in my neighborhood.
Life is lived less complicated when we help others. You don't have time to be depressed or soured on life watching stupid TV. :D
I feel my age, but ministering in this comment room keeps me nearer to my Lord. As long as I can sit in the closet and pray loud. My neighbor may think I'm nuts LOL.
Don't let the times we're living in, drag you down spiritually. Do good to others and be kinder to yourself. I love getting up before the birds do, and listen to them break out in song, to praise God. That's when I talk to Him. I worship Him. He is my best friend. I talk, He listens. He's closer than many of us think.
I think heaven is going to be loads of happiness. Our poor minds can't really latch on to joy. Our world is getting so dark. I pray we'll be the light of Christ as long as we're here.
