3. Christ will be a most knowing Judge: He ⟨p. 67⟩will know all the persons of the wicked; not one shall scape his eye; he will not know them in any way of nearness, and familiar acquainting himself with them; but he will know them in a way of perfect cognizance of their persons; he knew them when they lived and rebelled against his Law; and he will know them again, when they are raised; he will not only have a general knowledge of them, but he will know them particularly: none of the ancient rebels shall be able to hide themselves, either under rocks and mountains, or in the crowd and throng of the wicked which shall be gathered together before him on that day; Christ will find out all his enemies: and he will know all their crimes; he will read them all written in the book of Gods remembrance; and the book of their own consciences being then opened, will present all their sins to his view; the eye of the Judge will be a piercing, all-seeing eye, which cannot be blinded, and therefore there will be no mistake and error in the judgment, through ignorance or false information, as there may be in the Courts of judicature upon the earth.
