ultimate judgment
Last word given
Ultimate judgment is a final, authoritative verdict from which there is no appeal.
In religious contexts, it refers to divine judgment at the end of time or after death, when souls face eternal consequences: We will all face ultimate judgment.
More broadly, it means the definitive assessment that settles a matter: History will render the ultimate judgment on his presidency.
