those who destroy the earth?
Rev 11:18 & the nations were angry & thy wrath is come & the time of the dead that they should be judged & that you should give reward to your servants / prophets & to the saints & them that fear thy name, small & great; & should destroy those who destroy the earth.

According to Scripture the two judgments are NOT simultaneous.
The judgment of believers in Christ is mentioned in1 Corinthians 3:11-15. This occurs simultaneous to the tribulation period after the church is raptured. The Church will be removed before the tribulation (1 Thesssalonians 4 & 5) since we are not appointed to Wrath.
The Great Throne judgment occurs after Christ returns for the battle of Armageddon at the end of the Great Tribulation. Revelations 19 describes His Glorious return with His bride, the church by His side. He will cast the Anti-Christ and the False Prophet into the Lake of Fire for eternity and then throw Satan into the Abyss for 1000 year confinement (Rev 20:4).
The non-believers will be judged after Christ's Millenial reign (Rev 20:5-15).
I hope all this answers your question.

The saints will receive their crowns shortly after we are all present in Heaven after the Rapture. Proof of this is found at Rev. 4, which begins with the Rapture (with John as an individual example of a raptured person) and ends with a picture of the crowned saints, represented by the 24 "elders." These elders are symbolic of ALL Church saints; read 1 Chron. 23 and 24 for more information.
These rewards will be given prior to any of the judgements against the earth and its inhabitants.
I hope this helps. Peace.

The rewarding of the Saints is happening now and it will go on forever.

You need to read and study all of Revelation - it explains what will happen during the judgement time and the coming of the saints!@

Revelations was about predicting the fall of Rome. You're more than a milleniium and a half too late.

The bible is a great work of fiction. I do not believe in a judgment and reward day.
