<p>1:15 <i>To execute judgment upon all and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him</i>- The judgment of the Lord's second coming will not be a simple destruction of the wicked. Through the condemnation / judgment process, they will be convicted of all their sins, including all their hard words they spoke against the Lord. Such is the Lord's knowledge that words spoken by men in this life will be quoted back to them at judgment. By their words will men be justified and condemned (Mt. 12:37); see on Mt. 12:36; Lk. 13:28.</p><p>Num. 32:23 prophesied of Israel in their time of condemnation: &quot;You will be sensible of your sin when evil overtakes you&quot; (LXX). Truly has Ez. 6:9 prophesied of the rejected: &quot;They shall loathe themselves for their evils which they have committed in all their abominations&quot;. Jude 15 would even suggest that the purpose of judgment being executed is to convict the rejected of <i>all</i> their ungodly deeds and hard words. Through realising their condemnation they will realize in awful detail exactly <i>why</i> this had to be. Our own self-examination now will be stimulated by realising the depth to which we <i>deserve</i> condemnation, even though by grace we are saved rather than condemned.</p>
