XXXIX.
And why should we add many words concerning those
who are 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
1990
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,
1991
and fear and trembling shall consume all
things, both heaven and earth and things under the earth. And
every tongue shall confess Him openly,
1992
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,
1993
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.”
1994
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.
