7. What shall be the process of the last Judgment, and the sentence and execution of it.
7. What shall be the processe of the last Judgment, and the sentence and execution of it.
1. BY the virtue and divine power of Christ, and by his humane voice the dead shall be raised.1 For, All that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and they shall come forth. The living shall be changed, and their mortal bodies shall be made immortal, and they shall be gathered from the four coasts of the world. §22. By the ministry of the Angels all shall be presented before Christs throne. For by the Angels, as by those reapers, Christ shall gather the godly and the wicked from the four coasts of the world, and they shall appear before him. This shall he do by the Angels, not of necessity, but with authority: not as if he had need of the Angels ministry, but thereby to show himself to be Lord of the Angels and of all creatures: and this shall be for the majesty and glory of our Judge. §33. The world, heaven, and earth, shall be dissolved by fire: there shall be a change of this present state, and a purifying of the creatures, but not a consuming or utter abolishing of them all. §44. There shall be a separation of the godly from the ungodly, and sentence shall be given of both. Sentence shall be given (which also we did touch before in the second question) on the wicked principally, according to the Law: yet so, as it shall be with the approbation of the Gospel. Sentence shall be given on the godly principally, according to the Gospel; yet so, that the Law shall allow and like of it. The Elect shall hear the sentence out of the Gospel, according to the merit of Christ apprehended of them by faith, the testimonies of which faith shall be good works. Come ye blessed possess ye the kingdom.
