For example, it says “And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and the books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their words, according to the things written in the books.” (Revelation 20:12), this is a powerful image, shown where all human beings are about to be judged before God.
