at the last day

at the last day
   when you are dead
   The last day is, for devout Christians, the Day of Judgment, although the numbers of those in the dock might seem to merit a longer sitting:
    The subject of the sermon preached to us... was the certainty that at the last day we must give an account of the deeds done in the body. (J. Boswell, 1791)
