XLV.&#8212;Of the Day of Judgment.

I add something, on account of unbelievers, of the day of judgment.&#160; Again, the fire of the Lord sent forth shall be appointed.&#160; The earth gives a true groan; then those who are making their journey in the last end, and then all unbelievers, groan.&#160; The whole of nature is converted in flame, which yet avoids the camp of His saints.&#160; The earth is burned up from its foundations, and the mountains melt.&#160; Of the sea nothing remains:&#160; it is overcome by the powerful fire.&#160; This sky perishes, and the stars and these things are changed.&#160; Another newness of sky and of everlasting earth is arranged.&#160; Thence they who deserve it are sent away in a second death, but the righteous are placed in inner dwelling-places.
