After the Pre-Advent Judgment SIMPLIFIED

After the Pre-Advent Judgment (Investigative Judgment where cases are decided before Christ's 2nd Advent) what happens in the other 2 Phases of the Judgment?
*Basically the 1st Phase is the Investigative Phase followed by the Executive Phase in 2 subdivisions.
(Below deals with the 2 Executive Phases)
And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
Acts 10:42

"Though our Lord comes to execute the judgment (John 5:22, 27; Jude 14:15; 2 Timothy 4:1; Matthew 25:31–46; Acts 10:42; 17:31; Psalm 50:3–5),
and though He makes His people immortal before He gathers them into His presence (1 Corinthians 15:51, 52; Matthew 24:31; 1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17),
yet it is certain that everyone, even of the righteous, shall stand at the judgment-seat of Christ (Romans 14:10).
 

It is not, however, that their cases may be decided for salvation or for perdition, but “that everyone may receive the things done in his body.
Even all the wicked shall stand thus in His presence, that they may receive for their deeds of evil, which have not been repented of, and so neither pardoned nor blotted out.

But the wicked will not stand thus before Christ till the resurrection of the ungodly, at the end of the one thousand years.
---The righteous will appear at Christ’s judgment-seat, that they may receive the reward of well doing;
---and at a later time all the wicked shall stand in His presence, that they may hear their sentence and receive this just reward.
 
In executing the judgment, our Lord is to reward every man according to his works (Revelation 22:12; Matthew 16:27).
Then the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to Paul a crown of righteousness (2 Timothy 4:8).
To all His saints He will in like manner give crowns, but of very different brightness (1 Corinthians 15:41, 42), and assign to each a reward proportionate to his labors and responsibilities (Luke 19:15–19)."
