For he cometh to judge the earth. Nature, inanimate and animate, may well be asked to rejoice when God comes to judge the earth—since he is sure to judge it aright. With righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity. "God by his righteous judgment will bring the whole earth from a state of sorrow into a state of salvation and joy" (Hengstenberg).
