The Final Judgement

The Final Judgment

---

It shoots fast enough for effective crowd control, yet packs more than enough punch to easily shred through even the most heavily armored targets as well. Final Judgment upgraded with charging barrels is arguably the most well-rounded weapon for player characters who specialize in heavy weapons can acquire as it has only two weaknesses - its high weight and the few moments its barrels need to spin up to firing speed, a trait which makes it slightly handicapped in close quarters combat.

It is carried by Arthur Maxson during the quest Airship Down.

Final Judgment

Maxson will appear with a full set of Tf power armor and the weapon aboard a Vertibird while the Institute synths are trying to hack Liberty Prime. There is a small possibility to recover this weapon after the Prydwen is destroyed but it may glitch under the wreckage of the airship. If this happens, try the command cc If one is currently siding with the Minutemen and wants to obtain this weapon without siding with the Brotherhood of Steel, just continue the Railroad quests until receiving the quest Precipice of War , but do not go to Police Station.

Alternately, one can still acquire the weapon after completing Precipice of War by continuing with Rockets' Red Glare ; engage the Brotherhood of Steel members in the main deck area, plant the explosives, and then the player character should get ambushed by Maxson and two unnamed Brotherhood of Steel members one will have power armor and a Gatling laser as the player character exits the Prydwen via the command deck. They'll open fire as soon as loading completes, there's very little cover available and the energy weapons can deplete one's health very quickly.

Maxson also uses it during The Nuclear Option. For the Son of Man is to come with His angels in the glory of His Father, and then He will repay every man according to his works Mt The judge will be Christ Himself, for He is the one who, by His suffering and death, has received the power to judge.

It is the Crucified One who will call men to account at the end of the ages. He has won this right as a man through the perfection of His human life. Christ will judge all men exclusively on the basis of how they have served Him by serving all men—the least of the brethren. Before Him will be gathered all the nations, and He will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, and He will place the sheep at His right hand, but the goats at the left. And when did we see Thee a stranger and welcome Thee, or naked and clothe Thee?

And when did we see Thee sick or in prison and visit Thee? I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome Me, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me. And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life Mt All spiritual life is fulfilled in this one parable of Christ, for the heart of it is love, both for God and for man. In commenting on this teaching about the final judgment, Saint Augustine has said that Christ Himself is truly the one who is found in all of these conditions, just as He is the one who is the Savior in each of them.

Those who were in purgatory will have already been purged, meaning they would have already been released into Heaven, and so like those in Heaven and Hell will resurrect with their bodies. These differences may only be apparent and not actual due to differing theological terminology and tradition. The Eastern Orthodox Church teaches that there are two judgments: This judgment is generally believed to occur on the fortieth day after death. Although in modern times some have attempted to introduce the concept of soul sleep into Orthodox thought about life after death, it has never been a part of traditional Orthodox teaching, and it even contradicts the Orthodox understanding of the intercession of the Saints.

Eastern Orthodoxy teaches that salvation is bestowed by God as a free gift of Divine grace , which cannot be earned, and by which forgiveness of sins is available to all. However, the deeds done by each person are believed to affect how he will be judged, following the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats. How forgiveness is to be balanced against behavior is not well-defined in scripture, judgment in the matter being solely Christ's.

Similarly, although Orthodoxy teaches that salvation is obtained only through Christ and his Church, the fate of those outside the Church at the Last Judgment is left to the mercy of God and is not declared. The theme of the Last Judgment is extremely important in Orthodoxy. Traditionally, an Orthodox church will have a fresco or mosaic of the Last Judgment on the back western wall see the 12th-century mosaic pictured at the top of this page so that the faithful, as they leave the services, are reminded that they will be judged by what they do during this earthly life.

The icon of the Last Judgment traditionally depicts Christ Pantokrator , enthroned in glory on a white throne, surrounded by the Theotokos Virgin Mary , John the Baptist , Apostles , saints and angels. Beneath the throne the scene is divided in half with the "mansions of the righteous" John Separating the two is the River of fire which proceeds from Jesus' left foot. For more detail, see below. The theme of the Last Judgment is found in the funeral and memorial hymnody of the Church, and is a major theme in the services during Great Lent.

The Kingdom of Heaven

It is also found in the hymns of the Octoechos used on Saturdays throughout the year. Lutherans do not believe in any sort of earthly millennial kingdom of Christ either before or after his second coming on the last day. Particularly among those Protestant groups who adhere to a millennialist eschatology, the Last Judgment is said to be carried out before the Great White Throne by Jesus Christ to either eternal life or eternal consciousness in the lake of fire at the end of time.

Salvation is granted by grace based on the individual's surrender and commitment to Jesus Christ. A second particular judgment they refer to as the Bema Seat judgement occurs after or as salvation is discerned when awards are granted based on works toward heavenly treasures. Nevertheless, the body is not fully redeemed until after Death is destroyed after the Great Tribulation. Protestant Millennialism falls into roughly two categories: Premillennialist Christ's second coming precedes the millennium and Postmillennialist which sees Christ's second coming as occurring after the millennium.

Dispensational premillennialism generally holds that Israel and the Church are separate. It also widely holds to the pretribulational return of Christ, which believes that Jesus will return before a seven-year Tribulation followed by an additional return of Christ with his saints.

Although the Last Judgment is preached by a great part of Christian mainstream churches; the Esoteric Christian traditions like the Essenes and Rosicrucians , the Spiritualist movement , Christian Science , and some liberal theologies reject the traditional conception of the Last Judgment, as inconsistent with an all-just and loving God , in favor of some form of universal salvation.

Max Heindel taught that when the Day of Christ comes, marking the end of the current fifth or Aryan epoch, the human race will have to pass a final examination or last judgment, where, as in the Days of Noah , [43] the chosen ones or pioneers, the sheep , will be separated from the goats or stragglers, [44] by being carried forward into the next evolutionary period, inheriting the ethereal conditions of the New Galilee in the making.

Nevertheless, it is emphasized that all beings of the human evolution will ultimately be saved in a distant future as they acquire a superior grade of consciousness and altruism. At the present period, the process of human evolution is conducted by means of successive rebirths in the physical world [45] and the salvation is seen as being mentioned in Revelation 3: However, this western esoteric tradition states—like those who have had a near-death experience —that after the death of the physical body, at the end of each physical lifetime and after the life review period which occurs before the silver cord is broken , it occurs a judgment , more akin to a Final Review or End Report over one's life , where the life of the subject is fully evaluated and scrutinized.

In art, the Last Judgment is a common theme in medieval and renaissance religious iconography. Like most early iconographic innovations, its origins stem from Byzantine art , although it was a much less common subject than in the West during the Middle Ages. In the 15th century it also appeared as the central section of a triptych on altarpieces , with the side panels showing heaven and hell, as in the Beaune Altarpiece or a triptych by Hans Memling. The usual composition has Christ seated high in the centre, flanked by angels and the Virgin Mary and John the Evangelist who are supplicating on behalf of the souls being judged in what is called a Deesis group in Orthodoxy.

Saint Michael is often shown, either weighing souls on scales or directing matters, and there might be a large crowd of saints, angels, and the saved around the central group. At the bottom of the composition a crowd of souls are shown, often with some rising from their graves. These are being sorted and directed by angels into the saved and the damned.

Almost always the saved are on the viewer's left so on the right hand of Christ , and the damned on the right. The saved are led up to heaven , often shown as a fortified gateway , while the damned are handed over to devils who herd them down into hell on the right; the composition therefore has a circular pattern of movement. Often the damned disappear into a Hellmouth , the mouth of a huge monster, an image of Anglo-Saxon origin.

Last Judgment

The damned often include figures of high rank, wearing crowns, mitres and often the Papal tiara during the lengthy periods when there were antipopes , or in Protestant depictions. There may be detailed depictions of the torments of the damned. Included in this fresco is his self-portrait, as St.

Bartholomew 's flayed skin. The image in Eastern Orthodox icons has a similar composition, but usually less space is devoted to Hell, and there are often a larger number of scenes; the Orthodox readiness to label figures with inscriptions often allows more complex compositions. There is more often a large group of saints around Christ which may include animals , and the hetoimasia or "empty throne", containing a cross, is usually shown below Christ, often guarded by archangels; figures representing Adam and Eve may kneel below it or below Christ. A distinctive feature of the Orthodox composition, especially in Russian icons, is a large band leading like a chute from the feet of Christ down to Hell; this may resemble a striped snake or be a "river of Fire" coloured flame red.

If it is shown as a snake, it attempts to bite Adam on the heel, but as he is protected by Christ is unsuccessful. The sequence of events according to the most commonly held belief is the annihilation of all creatures, resurrection of the body, and the judgment of all sentient creatures. It is a time where everyone would be shown his or her deeds and actions with justice. The exact time when these events will occur is unknown, however there are said to be major [49] and minor signs [50] which are to occur near the time of Qiyammah End time.

It is believed that prior to the time of Qiyammah , two dangerous, evil tribes called Yajooj and Majooj are released from a dam-resembling wall that Allah makes stronger everyday. Many verses of the Qu'ran, especially the earlier ones, are dominated by the idea of the nearing of the day of resurrection. Belief in Judgment Day is considered a fundamental tenet of faith by all Muslims.

It is one of the six articles of faith. The trials and tribulations associated with it are detailed in both the Quran and the hadith , sayings of the Prophet Muhammad. Hence they were added in the commentaries of the Islamic expositors and scholarly authorities such as al-Ghazali , Ibn Kathir , Ibn Majah , Muhammad al-Bukhari , and Ibn Khuzaimah who explain them in detail.

Every human, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, is believed to be held accountable for their deeds and are believed to be judged by God accordingly. In Judaism , beliefs vary about a last day of judgment for all mankind. Some rabbis hold that there will be such a day following the resurrection of the dead. Others hold that this accounting and judgment happens when one dies.

Still others hold that the last judgment only applies to the gentiles goyim and not the Jewish people. The Bab and Baha'u'llah taught that there is one unfolding religion of one God and that once in about every years a new messenger prophet, Rasul al-Nabii, or as Bahais call them, Manifestation of God , comes to mankind to renew the Kingdom of God on earth and establish a new Covenant between humanity and God.

Each time a new Manifestation of God comes it is considered the Day of Judgement, Day of Resurrection, or 'the Last Hour' [54] for the believers and unbelievers of the previous Manifestation of God. The Bab told of the judgment:. Rather, the resurrection of all shall occur in the form of those that are living in that age.

If they belong to paradise, they shall be believers, if to hell, they shall be unbelievers. There is no denying that upon the Day of Resurrection, each and every thing shall be raised to life before God, may he be praised and glorified. For God shall originate that creation and then cause it to return. He has decreed the creation of all things, and he shall raise them to life again. God is powerful over all things.

Also, the coming of The Bab is the promised Mahdi and Qaim , and the coming of Baha'u'llah is the return of Christ through His Revelation, which respectively signify the Day of Judgement foretold by Muhammad [56] and the Day of Resurrection foretold by the Bayan [57]. Baha'u'llah wrote in the Kitab-i-Aqdas: The Bab wrote, "He Who will shine resplendent in the Day of Resurrection is the inner reality enshrined in the Point of the Bayan" [60].
