Of the Separation of the Good and the Bad, which Proclaim the Discriminating Influence of the Last Judgment.
City of God — St. Augustine
The passage also which I formerly quoted for another purpose from this prophet refers to the last judgment, in which he says, "They shall be mine, saith the Lord Almighty, in the day in which I make up my gains," [1467] etc. When this diversity between the rewards and punishments which distinguish the righteous from the wicked shall appear under that Sun of righteousness in the brightness of life eternal, -- a diversity which is not discerned under this sun which shines on the vanity of this life, -- there shall then be such a judgment as has never before been.
