Description
Eschatological judgment is the final and decisive judgment of God at the end of the age, when his justice will be openly revealed and his purposes brought to completion. Scripture teaches that God has appointed Jesus Christ as judge and that all people will give account before him. This judgment includes the vindication of God’s people, the exposure of evil, and the righteous assignment of everlasting destinies. While orthodox Christians differ over the precise sequence of end-times events and the relation of particular judgment passages to one another, the central teaching is not in doubt: God will judge the world in righteousness through Christ, and his judgment will be true, holy, and final.
