According to the philosophy of the book of Wisdom, the Greek philosophy, judgment takes place at the moment when the soul is separated from the body.
Judgment is at the moment of death.
So death and judgment, death and judgment - so that in Sheol already the good are separated from the evil. Now here you have the Christian concept. The Kingdom of God which comes to an end at the moment of death. After death, judgment. In the hereafter the souls of the good are separated from the souls of the evil ones - as Christ puts it, the sheep from the goats.
