"I said to myself, 'God will judge both the righteous man and the wicked man', for. time for every matter and for every deed is there."God will judge" -This is the ultimate and final season, the time of judgment and nobody is exempt (2 Cor. Ecclesiastes 5:10). Note, the concept of. final judgment isn't. new concept (Ecclesiastes 11:9; Ecclesiastes 12:14; Jude 1:14). Note also that periods of mourning and trial do not exempt us from judgment. People who go through wars and periods of upheaval, must still stand before God in judgment. Physical, mental, or emotional suffering doesn't atone for even one of our sins. And neither will such. judgment be superficial or rushed. No deed will be forgotten (Matthew 12:36 "every careless word"). But someone might say if that is true, then why the delay? Why is not the present the proper time for universal justice?
