In Malachi: “Behold, the day of the

‹ Book 2 · Section 27 Book 2 · Section 28 ›

Lord

cometh

,

burning

as

an

oven

;

and

all

the

aliens

and

all

the

wicked

shall

be

as

stubble

;

and

the

day

that

cometh

shall

burn

them

up

,

saith

the

Lord

.

”

Also

in

the

forty

-

ninth

(

or

fiftieth

)

Psalm

:

“

God

the

Lord

of

gods

hath

spoken

,

and

called

the

earth

.

From

the

rising

of

the

sun

even

to

the

going

down

thereof

,

out

of

Sion

is

the

beauty

of

His

glory

.

God

shall

come

manifestly

,

our

God

,

and

shall

not

keep

silence

.

A

fire

shall

burn

before

Him

,

and

round

about

Him

shall

be

a

great

storm

.

He

hath

called

the

heaven

above

,

and

the

earth

,

that

He

may

separate

His

people

.

Gather

together

His

saints

unto

Him

,

those

who

arrange

His

covenant

with

sacrifices

.

And

the

heavens

shall

announce

His

righteousness

,

for

God

is

the

judge

.

”

Also

in

Isaiah

:

“

The

Lord

God

of

strength

shall

go

forth

,

and

shall

break

war

in

pieces

:

He

shall

stir

up

contest

,

and

shall

cry

over

His

enemies

with

strength

.

I

have

been

silent

;

shall

I

always

be

silent

?

”

Also

in

the

sixty

-

seventh

Psalm

:

“

Let

God

arise

,

and

let

His

enemies

be

scattered

:

and

let

those

who

hate

Him

flee

from

His

face

.

As

smoke

vanisheth

,

let

them

vanish

:

as

wax

melteth

from

the

face

of

fire

,

thus

let

the

sinners

perish

from

the

face

of

God

.

And

let

the

righteous

be

glad

and

rejoice

in

the

sight

of

God

:

and

let

them

be

glad

with

joyfulness

.

Sing

unto

God

,

sing

praises

unto

His

name

:

make

a

way

to

Him

who

goeth

up

into

the

west

.

God

is

His

name

.

They

shall

be

put

to

confusion

from

the

face

of

Him

who

is

the

Father

of

the

orphans

,

and

the

Judge

of

the

widows

.

God

is

in

His

holy

place

:

God

,

who

maketh

men

to

dwell

with

one

mind

in

an

house

,

bringing

forth

them

that

are

bound

with

might

,

and

equally

those

who

provoke

unto

anger

,

who

dwell

in

the

sepulchres

:

God

,

when

Thou

wentest

forth

in

the

sight

of

Thy

people

,

in

passing

into

the

desert

.

”

Also

in

the

eighty

-

first

Psalm

:

“

Arise

,

O

God

;

judge

the

earth

:

for

Thou

wilt

exterminate

among

all

nations

.

”

Also

in

the

Gospel

according

to

Matthew

:

“

What

have

we

to

do

with

Thee

,

Thou

Son

of

David

?

why

art

Thou

come

hither

to

punish

us

before

the

time

?

”

Likewise

according

to

John

:

“

The

Father

judgeth

nothing

,

but

hath

given

all

judgment

to

the

Son

,

that

all

may

honour

the

Son

as

they

honour

the

Father

.

He

that

honoureth

not

the

Son

,

honoureth

not

the

Father

who

hath

sent

Him

.

”

So

too

in

the

second

Epistle

of

Paul

to

the

Corinthians

:

“

We

must

all

appear

before

the

judgment

-

seat

of

Christ

,

that

every

one

may

bear

the

things

proper

to

his

body

,

according

to

those

things

which

he

hath

done

,

whether

they

be

good

or

evil

.
