XXXVIII.

Then shall the holy angels run on their commission to gather

‹ Section 37 Section 39 ›

together

all

the

nations

,

whom

that

terrible

voice

of

the

trumpet

shall

awake

out

of

sleep

.

And

before

the

judgment

-

seat

of

Christ

shall

stand

those

who

once

were

kings

and

rulers

,

chief

priests

and

priests

;

and

they

shall

give

an

account

of

their

administration

,

and

of

the

fold

,

whoever

of

them

through

their

negligence

have

lost

one

sheep

out

of

the

flock

.

And

then

shall

be

brought

forward

soldiers

who

were

not

content

with

their

provision

,

but

oppressed

widows

and

orphans

and

beggars

.

Then

shall

be

arraigned

the

collectors

of

tribute

,

who

despoil

the

poor

man

of

more

than

is

ordered

,

and

who

make

real

gold

like

adulterate

,

in

order

to

mulct

the

needy

,

in

fields

and

in

houses

and

in

the

churches

.

Then

shall

rise

up

the

lewd

with

shame

,

who

have

not

kept

their

bed

undefiled

,

but

have

been

ensnared

by

all

manner

of

fleshly

beauty

,

and

have

gone

in

the

way

of

their

own

lusts

.

Then

shall

rise

up

those

who

have

not

kept

the

love

of

the

Lord

,

mute

and

gloomy

,

because

they

contemned

the

light

commandment

of

the

Saviour

,

which

says

,

Thou

shalt

love

thy

neighbour

as

thyself

.

Then

they

,

too

,

shall

weep

who

have

possessed

the

unjust

balance

,

and

unjust

weights

and

measures

,

and

dry

measures

,

as

they

wait

for

the

righteous

Judge

.
