Judecata Universală în opera imnografică a Bisericii

Abstract

The Last Judgment is the confrontation of the history and the man with the justice of God, at the end of the ages, when the whole world will be brought under the supreme authority of God. The expectation of Christ’s return as Judge of the living and the dead is part of the Christian Creed: all the people will stand before Him to give account of their deeds. The Savior Christ will do the Last Judgment, thing that is not independent of the fact that He is the prototype of man, since the man is the image of Christ, but through Christ was accomplished and the human rebirth. The existence of dogmatic ideas, including those eschatological in embodiment hymnographic of religious books of the Church from the earliest centuries, shows that orientation to the future world and the resurrection hope was a living phenomenon which animated the life of the first Christian communities. Christian’s express desire to unite heaven and earth to live the angelic life even now, shows that Eschaton was, is and will be always conceived as a reality that is not foreign to the present life.
