In the murder mystery, Mr.Justice Wargrave is guilty of killing not one, but nine people and himself.

“‘I’m talking to you young man. The day of judgment is very close at hand’. Subsiding onto his seat, Mr.Blore thought to himself: ‘He's nearer the day of judgment than I am !’ But there, as it happens, he was wrong” (p 15-16)
This quote hints that Mr.Blore’s death and his day of judgment is coming very soon. The “day of judgment” is a theological concept about Jesus returning to earth to judge the living and the death. Mr.Justice Wargrave will come to judge Mr.Blore for him and his crimes.
In this quote, an old man says to Mr.Blore that his day of judgment is close and this happens while Mr.Blore is on the train heading towards Indian island. The old man says it in a way where it is almost like he is saying, whatever you have done you will be judged and soon be brought to justice.
