“To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”
to judge everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have done in the ungodly way, and of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against him — the Enochian prophecy continues, articulating Christ's judgment function: to convict (elegxai) all creation of ungodliness, whether manifested in deeds or speech. The repetition of 'ungodly' (asebeia, 'impiety' or violation of divine law) emphasizes the comprehensive nature of the false teachers' rebellion and the comprehensive scope of coming judgment. Christ's judicial authority extends over both the hidden and spoken dimensions of rebellion, nothing escaping his scrutiny.
