The lyrics to Sabbath Assembly's song Judge of Mankind are a clear invocation to Lord Jesus Christ as the ultimate Judge of all mankind. The song calls upon the Final Word, that is the last judgment that true believe will face after death. The band also prays for their redemption, asking the Lord to receive their emotions and transform them. The lyrics further express the band's desire to offer their devotion to Jesus Christ, as they pledge to him their allegiance. The refrain of the song calls out to the Lord, asking Him to hear their prayers, purify, and unify them.
Interestingly, the song contains a few surprising lines that mention Lord Satan and Lord Lucifer. The band is not worshiping Satan or Lucifer, but rather acknowledging them as powerful entities that can redeem people's souls. The song is also unique in the sense that it calls upon Lord Jehovah, which is another name for God in Christianity and Judaism.

Theologically self-completing, paradox reconciling, accurate and consistent, honest and majestic worship of thee creator we represent...Truth.

@Jonathan Brooks As it is so be it. nice too meet a like minded person

@Karma Black Yes, yes. As explained in the song 'Transcendence' on their second album, Ye Are Gods,
"Transcendence: JEHOVAH, LUCIFER, and SATAN: THREE distinct and separate patterns of reality, yet each to some extend is present in each one of us."
"The power of JEHOVAH, of LUCIFER, and of SATAN is the dominant power, and conflicted though They may be for the purpose of the Game, upon one matter They are in total agreement -- which means that upon this matter all human beings are equally in total agreement, hard though they may try to hide it, even from themselves. And that matter is the fact of the End. The End of the world as we know it; the End of human kind as we know it; the End of human values as we know them; the End of human endeavours, human creations, human ambitions, human patterns of life, human conventions, human laws and human customs as we know them. On one thing the Gods are in agreement: All these shall be destroyed, to make way for a New Age and a New Way of Life."

@Jonathan Brooks Nice summation the people who don't get the paradox also shouldn't get so stuck on the names used for the powers they are simply there to represent something that has existed before words eternal forces of the universe their existence in you and how it is manifest in us and our world we all contain these extremes as Jonathan put it its a reconciliation of opposites including how they effect us psychologically. You could say Christ is a state of transcending these conflicts to unify ourselves "the lion laying with the lamb"
