==Definition==
*the [[judgment]] of [[humankind]] expected in some religious [[traditions]] to take place at the end of the world.
==Description==
The '''Last Judgment''', Final Judgment, Day of Judgment, Judgment Day, or The Day of the Lord or in Islam Yawm al-Qiyāmah or Yawm ad-Din is part of the [[eschatological]] [[world view]] of the Abrahamic religions and in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frashokereti Frashokereti of Zoroastrianism].
In [[Christian]] [[theology]], it is the final and [[eternal]] [[judgment]] by God of every [[nation]]. The concept is found in all the Canonical [[gospels]], particularly the [[Gospel of Matthew]]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futurism_(Christianity) Christian Futurists] believe it will take place after the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resurrection_of_the_Dead Resurrection of the Dead] and the [[Second Coming]] of Christ while [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_Preterism Full Preterists] believe it has already occurred. The Last Judgment has [[inspired]] numerous artistic depictions.
Although the Last Judgment is preached by a great part of Christian mainstream churches; the Esoteric Christian tradition—composed, among others, by the Essenes and Rosicrucians—the Spiritualist movement, Christian Science, and some liberal theologies reject the traditional conception of the Last Judgment as inconsistent with an all-just and loving God, in favor of some form of universal salvation.

Max Heindel taught that when the [[Return of Michael|Day of Christ]] comes, marking the end of the current [[Epoch V|fifth or Aryan epoch]], the human race will have to pass a final [[examination]] or last judgment, where, as in the Days of Noah, the [[chosen ones]] or [[pioneers]], the sheep, will be separated from the goats or stragglers, by being carried forward into the next evolutionary period, inheriting the [[ethereal]] conditions of the New Galilee in the making. Nevertheless, it is emphasized that all beings of the human [[evolution]] will ultimately be saved in a distant [[future]] as they acquire a superior grade of [[consciousness]] and [[altruism]]. At the present period, the [[process]] of human evolution is conducted by means of successive rebirths in the physical world and the [[salvation]] is seen as being mentioned in [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_revelation#Chapter_3 Revelation 3:12], which states "Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the [[temple]] of my God and he shall go no more out". However, this western [[esoteric]] tradition states—like those who have had a [[near-death experience]]—that after the death of the physical [[body]], at the end of each physical lifetime and after the life review period (which occurs before the silver cord is broken), it occurs a [[judgment]], more akin to a Final Review or End Report over one's life, where the life of the subject is fully [[evaluated]] and scrutinized. This judgment is seen as being mentioned in [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews#The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews.2C_IX Hebrews 9:27], which states that "it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the [[judgment]]".
