On the Day of Wrath
On the Day of Wrath The phrase “ the day of God’s … judgment ” ( Rom. 2:5 ) taken by itself may seem to lend support to the idea of a single general judgment of all humanity. However, the Scriptures do not support such a concept. This phrase must be interpreted in conjunction with passages which clearly indicate that several judgments of different groups occur at different times ( cf . judgment of Israel at Christ’s Second Advent , Ezek. 20:32-38 ; the judgment of Gentiles at Christ’s Second Advent , Matt. 25:31-46 ; the great white throne judgment, Rev. 20:11-15 ). The focus of this passage is on the fact that God will judge all peoples , not on the details of who will be judged when.
