Description
This card depicts a group of naked people rising from their graves after a trumpet call from Angel Gabriel. The people have their arms spread upwards, ready for judgement. There is also the opposite card i.e. The Judgement Reversed which is also explained below for the benefit of our readers.
The Angel is blowing his trumpet, just like it is written in the Bible book of revelation. We can also see a white flag with a red flag symbol symbolizing sacrifice. The landscape is neutral, but we can see a mountain range in the background that is covered in snow. It symbolizes that no one can avoid judgement.
