28. That
Jesus Christ shall come as a Judge.
In Malachi: “Behold, the day of the
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.”4112
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.”4113
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?”4114
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.”4115
Also in the eighty-first
Psalm: “Arise, O
God; judge the earth: for Thou wilt exterminate among all
nations.”4116
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?”4117
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.”4118
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.”4119
