They wait for the Great White Throne Judgement of the doomed.
At the Great White Throne Judgement, the time for mercy and grace has passed. In this moment all that is left is a final pronouncement or sentencing. (Revelation 20:11-15)
Revelation 1:3: "Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand."
The Creator, Mover and Shaker Of The Earth warned us in the Book of Revelation in 96 A.D.

Why would an omniscient entity create beings to punish if they didn't obey his every command?
Sounds more like government than God.

We are created in his image him, so we could share in his love, grace, and goodness. We are to be in harmony with him. It says in Col 1:16 that we are created for his pleasure, and his purpose. Why not serve him, he sent his son to die in our place for our sins. I would rather live for him, and go to Heaven, and not believe in him, and go to hell. This is an eternity decision. There is no choice but the right one. We all sin daily, but he loves us so much, his blood covers our sins. We just have to believe he is who he says he is, the living Son of God. We just have to repent of our sins, turn to him, and then live for him daily. When I do wrong, the Holy Spirit will convict you, so you can ask for forgiveness, and believe me, I do it all the time. But his love covers me. There is no feeling like knowing you are
loved by him, his peace, and joy he gives, knowing how precious he is toward me, and all of us. We are not worthy, but he makes is worthy.

I was in the seminary studying to become a catholic priest. For two weeks when I discovered that every priest teacher there was gay.
I decided to go to hell my own way and I dropped out.
My doubts about God haven't changed in 62 years.
I do however, admire the faith that others have.

That is the saddest part of the Catholic Church - that they don't allow priests to have relationships with women. That was one of the main reasons why I left it. It seemed odd to me, even at a fairly young age, that not allowing men to have relationships with women was not a good idea - that stifling the natural urges that men have towards women would cause big problems for them. That and the fact that they wanted me to go through man (priests and the Pope) to talk to God (i.e., telling God directly I am sorry that I sinned rather than telling a man in a small room behind a veiled wall I am sorry that I sinned). There are a few other reasons involving the nuns at the Catholic school I went to, but that's too long a story. 😐
It took me a few years to come back to Christ, but in spite of my doubts when a young Catholic, I missed Jesus. I missed talking to Him and having him beside me as I made my journey through the life He gave me.

Every believer will give an account to Jesus.
Yes, we will (Romans 14:12), - though Jesus Christ could more aptly give us a recitation of everything we have ever done, as He not only knows every action we have ever taken, but every thought we have ever had.
Whereas we will most likely not remember half of them unless the Lord brings them to our mind.
The good news is our salvation is neither in doubt or in jeopardy, only our reward, [the number of stars in our crown].
I care nothing about the award or position... To be a janitor in heaven in His presence will be sufficient.

The Final Judgement will be held Before the Great White Throne: Judgement of all the unsaved, those who did not accept God's offer of salvation thru Jesus Christ.
Revelation 20:11–15 "Then I saw a great white throne and Him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them.
12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life.
And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done.
13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done.
14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
15 And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."

Opps.
My most humble apologies, m'Lady.
My cap is off and I am bowing with respect, even if only figuratively.
