CHAP. XXXIII. Of the last Judgment.
CHAP. XXXIII. Of the last Iudgment.
God hath appointed a Day, wherein he will judge the World, in righteousness, by Jesus Christ, to whom, all Power and Judgement is given of the Father. In which Day, not only the Apostate Angels shall be judged, but likewise all Persons that have lived upon Earth, shall appear before the Tribunal of Christ, to give an Account of their Thoughts, Words, and Deeds; and, to receive according to what they have done in the Body, whether good or evil.
GOd hath appointed a Day, wherein he will judge the World, in righteousness, by Jesus Christ, to whom, all Power and Judgement is given of the Father. In which Day, not onely the Apostate Angels shall be judged, but likewise all Persons that have lived upon Earth, shall appear before the Tribunal of Christ, to give an Account of their Thoughts, Words, and Deeds; and, to receive according to what they have done in the Body, whether good or evil.
II. The End of Gods appointing this Day, is, for the manifestation of the Glory, of his Mercy, in the eternal salvation of the Elect; and, of his Justice, in the damnation of the Reprobate, who are wicked, and disobedient. For, then, shall the Righteous go into everlasting life, and receive that fullness of Joy and Refreshing, ⟨p. 54⟩which shall come from the presence of the Lord: but, the wicked, who know not God, and obey not the Gospel of Jesus Christ, shall be cast into eternal Torments, and be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the Glory of his Power.
