30. That the Lord would come in the fulness of time and would judge, is meant by His words,

When the Son of man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit on the throne of His glory; and there shall be gathered before Him all nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the he-goats (Matthew 25:31-32).

This coming of the Lord is meant by the following words concerning Jesus Christ, in the Apostles' Creed: "He ascended into the heavens, He sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead;" and also by this concerning the Lord Jesus Christ in the Nicene Creed: "He ascended into heaven; He sitteth at the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again in glory to judge the quick and the dead; of whose kingdom there shall be no end.
