'Judgment' refers to times when evil is brought to its height. Judgment' has two sides, a principle of good and a principle of truth. The faithful are judged from a principle of good, but the unfaithful, from a principle of truth. In Revelation 17:1, judgement signifies the state of the church at its end.
