This is Ellen White's commentary on Revelation 20:11,12

Revelation 20:11-12 (KJV) And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

Face-to-face with eternity

Solemn will be the day of finial decision..... Sad will be the retrospect in the day when the men stand face to face with eternity. The whole life will present itself just as it had been. The world's pleasure, riches, and honors will not seem so important. Men will see that the righteousness they despised is alone value.... Then they will see the results of their choice. They will have the knowledge of what it means to transgress the commandments of God.
