[[Image:Stefan Lochner - Last Judgement - circa 1435.jpg|thumb|370px|''The Last Judgment'' painted by Stefan Lochner in the [[15th century]].]] In the [[Christian]] religion, '''The Day of Judgment''' is the day in the future when all people who are living or dead will be judged by [[God]]. It is often known as the '''Last Judgment, Final Judgment, Judgment Day, Doomsday''', or sometimes it is called '''The Day of the Lord'''. ==Beliefs of the early Christians== In the [[Torah]] the [[prophet]]s had said that one day [[God]] would send His [[son]] to forgive people for the wrong things they had done and to [[salvation|save]] their [[soul]]s. In the early years of the Christian church people thought that, although Jesus [[Christ]] had now visited the world and died for us on the [[crucifix|cross]], [[salvation]] will only be completed when the world ends and all people alive or dead will face God who will judge them. ==References to the Day of Judgment in the Bible== The Day of the Lord is mentioned several times in the Old Testament (e.g. [[Book of Ezekiel]] chapter 13 v.5 and [[Isaiah]] chapter 2 v.12). In the [[New Testament]] the coming of Christ as Judge of the world is mentioned very often. In [[Saint Paul|Paul’s]] letters and in the Revelation to [[Saint John|John]], then Christians who are saved by their faith in Jesus will reign with Christ. When Christ comes, His arrival will be announced by a [[trumpet]] call. He will come down from [[heaven]]. All the people who are alive will stay alive, and all the people who are dead will become alive again.<ref>[[First Epistle to the Thessalonians]], Chapter 4 v.17</ref> Christ’s [[Second Coming]] is talked about in the ancient [[creed]]s. In the [[Apostles' Creed]] it says: “He ascended into heaven...From thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead”. In the [[Nicene Creed]] it says: “He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead”. ==The Day of Judgment in art== This belief about the Day of Judgment has inspired many pain
