Judgment and Divine Justice
Matthew 25:31-46
“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father.'”
Daniel 12:2
“Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.”
Quran 99 (Al-Zalzalah - The Earthquake)
“When the earth is shaken with its [final] earthquake and the earth discharges its burdens, and the man says, 'What is wrong with it?'—that Day, it will report its news because your Lord has commanded it. That Day, the people will come out in scattered groups to see their deeds.”
Bhagavata Purana (Yama and judgment)
“Yama, the Lord of Death and Justice, judges all souls according to their karma. The righteous ascend to the heavenly realms, while the wicked are reborn into conditions that reflect their past misdeeds.”
Avesta Yasna 51
“At the bridge of Judgment, each soul must cross. The righteous pass to the realm of light and endless joy, while the wicked fall into the abyss of darkness and torment. This is the justice of Ahura Mazda.”
Tibetan Bardo Thodol (Bardo of Becoming)
“The consciousness of the dead being experiences visions of deities and wrathful forms, which are projections of its own karmic consciousness. The being's reaction determines its rebirth. Through mindfulness, liberation can be attained.”
