“man’s judgment” (lit., “man’s day,” marg.) is used of the present period in which man’s
mere “judgment” is exercised, a period of human rebellion against God. The adjective
, “human, belonging to man” (
), is doubtless set in contrast here to
$
, “belonging to the Lord” (

, “a lord”), which is used in the phrase “the Day
of the Lord,” in Rev. 1:10, “The Lord’s Day,” a period of divine judgments. See

(
, 968), primarily, “a step, a pace” (akin to
, “to go”), as in Acts
7:5, translated “to set (his foot) on,” lit., “footroom,” was used to denote a raised place or
platform, reached by steps, originally that at Athens in the Pnyx Hill, where was the place
of assembly; from the platform orations were made. The word became used for a tribune,
two of which were provided in the law courts of Greece, one for the accuser and one for
the defendant; it was applied to the tribunal of a Roman magistrate or ruler, Matt. 27:19;
John 19:13; Acts 12:21, translated “throne”; 18:12, 16, 17; 25:6, 10, 17.
In two passages the word is used of the divine tribunal before which all believers are
hereafter to stand. In Rom. 14:10 it is called “The judgement seat of God,”
RV
(
KJV
, “of
Christ”), according to the most authentic mss. The same tribunal is called “the judgment
seat of Christ,” 2 Cor. 5:10, to whom the Father has given all judgment, John 5:22, 27. At
this
believers are to be made manifest, that each may “receive the things done in
(or through) the body,” according to what he has done, “whether it be good or bad.”
