To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
He's coming to hold everyone accountable and call out all the people who've been living however they want, all the messed up things they've done and all the harsh words they've thrown at God.
There's a day coming when everyone's words and actions get brought to light.
