very judgment <strong>it</strong>self.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Old Testament as well as <strong>the</strong> New tells <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> judgment. Solomon says: "Let us hear <strong>the</strong><br />

conclusion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> whole matter: Fear God, and<br />

keep his commandments; for this is <strong>the</strong> whole duty<br />

<strong>of</strong> man. For God shall bring every work into<br />

judgment, w<strong>it</strong>h every secret thing, whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>it</strong> be<br />

good, or whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>it</strong> be evil." Eccl. 12:13, 14. Daniel<br />

says: "I beheld till <strong>the</strong> thrones were cast down, and<br />

<strong>the</strong> Ancient <strong>of</strong> Days did s<strong>it</strong>, whose garment was<br />

wh<strong>it</strong>e as snow, and <strong>the</strong> hair <strong>of</strong> his head like <strong>the</strong><br />

pure wool; his throne was like <strong>the</strong> fiery flame, and<br />

his wheels as burning fire. A fiery stream issued<br />

and came forth from before him; thousand<br />

thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand<br />

times ten thousand stood before him; <strong>the</strong> judgment<br />

was set, and <strong>the</strong> books were opened." Dan. 7:9, 10.<br />

<strong>Is</strong>aiah, David, Job, and o<strong>the</strong>r prophets speak <strong>of</strong><br />

this, as well as Solomon and Daniel. Even "Enoch,<br />

<strong>the</strong> seventh from Adam," prophesied <strong>of</strong> this,<br />

saying, "Behold, <strong>the</strong> Lord cometh w<strong>it</strong>h ten<br />

thousands <strong>of</strong> his saints, to execute judgment upon<br />

all." Jude 14,<br />
