Judgment Day さばきの日 (マタイによる福音書 10:15, ヨハネの黙示録 20:15)

聖書節

まことに、あなたがたに告げます。さばきの日には、ソドムとゴモラの地でも、その町よりはまだ罰が軽いのです。”(マタイ10:15)

“いのちの書に名のしるされていない者はみな、この火の池に投げ込まれた。”(ヨハネの黙示録10:15)

起源と適用

裁きの日はいつ来て、どういう事が起きるのでしょうか?裁きの日に人々は過去の行い、態度、そして気持ちによって裁かれます。マタイによる福音書でイエス様は神様を信じていない人たちはずる賢さと罪深さで悪名高いソドムとゴモラの人々のようになると言われた。彼らの名前は命の書には載らず、火の池に投げ込まれます。この時というのは誰も予想ができません。なぜなら盗人の様に、人々が夜で注意をしてない時に訪れるからです。
