Paul’s many references to the eschatological judgment generally fall in line with common Jewish apocalyptic expectations. The judgment is directly associated with the day of the Lord and the punishment of the wicked. Moreover, Jesus’s messianic identity and Parousia are understood within this eschatological framework. The fact that Paul generally makes passing references to the eschatological judgment (e.g., “the judgment seat” in Rom. 14:10 and 2 Cor. 5:10) without definition or explanation reinforces the supposition that he simply takes for granted the Jewish apocalyptic narrative in his writings. -John P. Harrigan
