P'tahil had now lost his power over men, and was driven by his father out of the world of light into a place beneath it, whence he shall at the day of judgment be raised, and after receiving baptism be made king of the `Uthre with divine honours.
The Hereford map is surmounted by a picture of the Day of Judgment.
The legend is that they are the souls of unbaptized children wandering through the air till the day of judgment.
As a day of judgment it is accompanied by terrible convulsions of nature (not to be taken figuratively, but probably intended literally by the prophets in accordance with their view of the absolute subordination of nature to the divine purpose for man).
Oh, what a joy it will be to be found blameless in the day of judgment!
