The Day of Doom; Or, a Poetical Description of the Great and Last Judgement

"The Day of Doom; Or, a Poetical Description of the Great and Last Judgement" by Michael Wigglesworth is a powerful poem that paints a picture of Judgment Day through a Puritan lens. The poem begins on a seemingly peaceful night, but soon explodes into a chaotic scene as Christ returns to judge everyone. The poem uses strong imagery to show the horror of the moment when the dead rise and face their final judgment, emphasizing the importance of avoiding sin and preparing for the end of times, as humanity faces the consequences of their actions.
