Chap. 332---Every Work will be Brought into Judgment


"God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be
good, or whether it be evil. Ecclesiastes 12:14.
In the case of each individual there is a process going forward which is far more
wonderful than that which transfers the features to the polished plate of the artist.
The art of the photographer merely imprints the likeness on perishable substance;
but in the life-record the character is faithfully delineated, and this record, however
dark, can never be effaced except by the blood of the atoning Sacrifice.
Angels of God are taking a daguerreotype of the character just as accurately as
the artist takes the likeness of the human features; and ... it is from this that we are
to be judged!
When the Judgment shall sit, and the books shall be opened, there will be many
astonishing disclosures. Men will not then appear as they appear to the human eyes
and finite judgments. Secret sins will then be laid open to the view of all. Motives
and intentions which have been hidden in the dark chambers of the heart will be
revealed.
All will appear as a real life-picture.
In that solemn and awful hour the unfaithfulness of the husband will be opened
to the wife, and the unfaithfulness of the wife, to the husband. Parents will then
learn, for the first time, what was the real character of their children, and children
will see the errors and mistakes that marked the lives of their parents. The man
who robbed his neighbor through false representations, is not to escape with his
ill-gotten gains. God has an exact record in His books, of every unjust account and
every unfair dealing.
Memory will be true and vivid in condemnation of the guilty one, who in that
day is found wanting. The mind will recall all the thoughts and acts of the past; the
whole life will come in review like the scenes in a panorama."
