At
that time mankind will be replenished and reconstituted by the ordaining
Lord. The great human multitude will rise up to judgement when the
Lord of life looses the bonds of death. The sky will burn, the stars
of heaven will fall, the ravening flames will ravage abroad and spirits
will pass into an everlasting habitation. Not in the least will men
be able to conceal that store, the thoughts of their heart, in the
Ruler's presence. Not to him will their deeds be secret, for there
in that momentous day it will be known to the Lord how each person
has previously merited the life everlasting, and everything will be
present that early or late they accomplished in the world. Not a whit
of people's intentions will be hidden there but the notorious day
will reveal all the store of their bosoms' vaults, the thoughts of
their heart. Whoever is determined to bring to God a clear countenance
when the blaze, scorching and gorily ravenous, assays before the triumphant
Judge how souls have been cherished against sins, he must reflect
beforehand upon his spirit's needs. |

Then
the voice of the trumpet and the bright symbol and the scorching fire
and the exalted multitude and the host of angels and the threat of
terror and the harsh day and the high Cross reared upright as a symbol
of power, will summon into his presence the human throng, each one
of the souls which late or early received limbs in the flesh. Then
this, the hugest of hordes, eternal and young anew, will proceed into
the Ruler's presence by desire or compulsion. Summoned by name, they
will carry before the Son of God their breasts' hoard, the trappings
of their existence. The Father will consider how sound are the souls
his sons bring back from the land in which they lived. The bold ones
then will be those who bring a bright countenance to the Lord. Their
power and their joy will be exceedingly blessed as a reward to their
souls, a glorious repayment for their works. It will be well for those
who in that grim hour my please God. |
