HE shall judge the world in righteousness!
(Thomas Tymme)
"HE shall judge the world in
righteousness, and HE shall
administer judgment for the peoples
in uprightness." Psalm 9:8
In this final judgment,
tears will not prevail,
prayers will not be heard,
promises will not be admitted,
repentance will be too late; and
as for riches, honorable titles,
scepters, and crowns--
these will profit much less!
The inquisition shall be so minute and
diligent, that not one light thought nor
one idle word shall be forgotten.
For TRUTH HIMSELF has said,
not in jest, but in earnest,
have spoken--they shall give
an account in the day of judgment!"
(Matthew 12:36)
Oh, how many who now sin with great
delight, yes, even with greediness
(as if Christians served a GOD of
wood or of stone, which sees nothing,
or can do nothing), will be then
astonished, ashamed, and silent!
Then shall the days of your
vain mirth be ended--
and you shall be overwhelmed
with everlasting darkness; and
instead of your fleeting pleasures--
you shall have everlasting torments!
