New Defender's Study Bible Notes

4:2 was set in heaven. This reads literally “was being set in heaven.” Evidently, Christ’s “judgment seat” (Romans 14:10; II Corinthians 5:10) is being translated from the far-off third heaven (II Corinthians 12:2—God’s present abode) to the atmospheric heaven, where we shall all be “caught up…to meet the Lord in the air” (I Thessalonians 4:17). There we shall be judged (as born-again believers), not for salvation but for rewards or loss of rewards (I Corinthians 3:13-15).
