My perspective on "the last judgment," when I don't think of it as an exercise in speculative fiction, is that it's the sign of an oversized temper-tantrum: a creator is unhappy with the results of his own work, so he destroys it rather than fixing it, causing a great deal of pain to everyone involved.
That is, if one accepts the triple-omni situation as background. If he's not omnipotent, it doesn't apply. Of course, if he's not omnipotent, several of the other arguments fall apart.

Who are you to try and understand the last judgement or God's divine plan? Heres a revelation. He is omnipotent. You can count on it. And whoever said he was going to destroy creation? Its not so negative as you make it out.
