Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
let the field exult, and everything in it.
Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy
before the Lord; for he is coming,
for he is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness,
and the peoples with his truth.
The Hebrew word בּוֹא or bo', translated here as coming, is very context sensitive.
It can also mean abide, attain, bring, bring forth, enter, invade and, in five cases of scripture, sunset.
Judge is less variable. But the cultural, legal, philosophical meaning of judge is quite diverse.
How Deborah served as judge is much different than Samuel or Solomon.
How about: "That Which Exists is emerging to fulfill creation."
Psalm 96
