judgment day

Ultimate cosmic verdict

Judgment day, often capitalized, refers in Christian theology to the final day when God judges all humanity, separating the saved from the damned.

The term extends to any moment of ultimate reckoning or decisive evaluation: When the audit comes, that's judgment day for the accounting department.

It suggests finality and accountability—a time when all actions and choices face their consequences.
