A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
Daniel 7:10
"The final judgment is a most solemn, awful event.
This must take place
before the universe.
God will be honored and His government vindicated and glorified, and
that in the presence of the inhabitants of the unfallen worlds.
On the
largest possible scale will the government of God be vindicated and
exalted.
It is not the judgment of one individual or of one nation, but
of the whole world.
Oh, what a change will then be made in the
understanding of all created beings. Then all will see the value of
eternal life."
E.G.W., Letter 131, October 14, 1900, to Elder A. G. Daniells
