Day of Wrath

Final divine reckoning

Day of Wrath is a name for the Last Judgment in Christian theology—the final day when God judges all souls.

The phrase comes from the Latin hymn *Dies Irae*, used in masses for the dead.

It evokes apocalyptic imagery of divine reckoning: The preacher warned of the coming Day of Wrath.

The term appears in discussions of end times and in artistic works depicting damnation.
