XXXIX.

And why should we add many words concerning those who are

‹ Section 38 Section 40 ›

sisted

before

the

bar

?

Then

the

righteous

shall

shine

forth

like

the

sun

,

while

the

wicked

shall

be

shown

to

be

mute

and

gloomy

.

For

both

the

righteous

and

the

wicked

shall

be

raised

incorruptible

:

the

righteous

,

to

be

honoured

eternally

,

and

to

taste

immortal

joys

;

and

the

wicked

,

to

be

punished

in

judgment

eternally

.

Each

ponders

the

question

as

to

what

answer

he

shall

give

to

the

righteous

Judge

for

his

deeds

,

whether

good

or

bad

.

With

all

men

each

one’s

actions

shall

environ

him

,

whether

he

be

good

or

evil

.

For

the

powers

of

the

heavens

shall

be

shaken

,

and

fear

and

trembling

shall

consume

all

things

,

both

heaven

and

earth

and

things

under

the

earth

.

And

every

tongue

shall

confess

Him

openly

,

and

shall

confess

Him

who

comes

to

judge

righteous

judgment

,

the

mighty

God

and

Maker

of

all

things

.

Then

with

fear

and

astonishment

shall

come

angels

,

thrones

,

powers

,

principalities

,

dominions

,

and

the

cherubim

and

seraphim

with

their

many

eyes

and

six

wings

,

all

crying

aloud

with

a

mighty

voice

,

“

Holy

,

holy

,

holy

is

the

Lord

of

hosts

,

omnipotent

;

the

heaven

and

the

earth

are

full

of

Thy

glory

.

”

And

the

King

of

kings

and

Lord

of

lords

,

the

Judge

who

accepts

no

man’s

person

,

and

the

Jurist

who

distributes

justice

to

every

man

,

shall

be

revealed

upon

His

dread

and

lofty

throne

;

and

all

the

flesh

of

mortals

shall

see

His

face

with

great

fear

and

trembling

,

both

the

righteous

and

the

sinner

.
