I now swing back from the soul sobering horror and despair of God’s certain, terrifying and just final judgment of man’s sin to the present hope and eternal joy found in God’s joyful display of divine mercy and grace in His forgiveness of that sin which we receive through faith in Jesus. (Psalm 103:8-17) (Hebrews

The Universal Judgement is the title of a lengthy sermon preached by Samuel Davies, a sermon many consider to be one of the most vivid and biblically accurate presentations of God’s final judgement on mankind.

In Isaiah Chapter 2, we have the prophecy of the “Day of the Lord”, which typically refers to the time of God’s final judgement on a prideful, rebellious mankind (Isaiah 2:12).

Called, predestined, elect, and chosen are all words found in the Bible, particularly in the New Testament.
