Article XVII: Of Christ's Return to Judgment.
Also they teach that at the
Consummation of the
World Christ will appear for
judgment and will raise up all the
dead; He will give to the
godly and elect
eternal life and
everlasting joys, but
ungodly men and the
devils He will
condemn to be
tormented without end.
They condemn the
Anabaptists, who think that there will be an end to the
punishments of condemned men and devils.
They condemn also others who are now spreading certain
Jewish opinions, that before the
resurrection of the dead the godly shall take
possession of the kingdom of the world, the
ungodly being everywhere
suppressed.
