Whether all men will be present at the judgment?

❌ Objection 1 : It would seem that men will not all be present at the judgment. For it is written (Mt. 19:28): "You . . . shall sit on twelve seats, judging the twelve tribes of Israel." But all men do not belong to those twelve tribes. Therefore it would seem that men will not all be present at the judgment.

❌ Objection 2 : Further, the same apparently is to be gathered from Ps. 1:5, "The wicked shall not rise again in judgment."

❌ Objection 3 : Further, a man is brought to judgment that his merits may be discussed. But some there are who have acquired no merits, such as children who died before reaching the perfect age. Therefore they need not be present at the judgment. Now there are many such. Therefore it would seem that not all will be present.
