Chapter 33: Of the Last Judgment
1. God has appointed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness by[1] Jesus Christ,a to whom all power and judgment is given by the Father.b In that day, not only the apostate angels will be judged,c but likewise all persons that have lived upon earth. They will appear before the tribunal of Christ to give an account of their thoughts, words, and deeds, and to receive according to what they have done in the body, whether good or evil.d

2. The purpose of God in appointing this day is for the manifestation of the glory of:
· His mercy, in the eternal salvation of the electa
· His justice, in the damnation of the reprobate who are wicked and disobedient.b
For then the righteous will go into everlasting life and receive that fullness of joy and refreshing that will come from the presence of the Lord.c But the wicked, who do not know God, and do not obey the Gospel of Jesus Christ, will be cast into eternal torments and be punished with everlasting destruction, cast out from the presence[2] of the Lord, and from the glory of His power.d

3. Christ would have us to be certainly persuaded that there will be a day of judgment, both to deter all men from sin, and for the greater consolation of the godly in their adversity.a Thus, He will have that day unknown to men, that:
· They may shake off all carnal security and always be watchful, because they do not know at what hour the Lord will come
· They may be ever prepared to say, “Come, Lord Jesus, come quickly,b Amen.”
