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. Eccl. 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.
