Will judgment by scales be used on the last day?

A hand was writing on the wall and it was judging a ruler, it said that he has been weighed on the scales and found wanting. God weighed the good deeds against the bad deeds of a ruler here before passing judgment to him. Will this technique be used on judgment day or will it apply to people who lived during the era of the old covenant? **Daniel 5:27** >you have been weighed on the scales [of righteousness] and found deficient This is because even Paul said people must appear before a seat of judgment: >For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due to him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.(2 Corinthians 5:10) Will all bad deeds be accounted for together with the good deeds, put on a balance which decides your fate? This is because there were millions of people who lived in the Old Testament era and the name of Jesus had not yet been given. Since all must appear before a seat of judgment and its not their fault to be be born in that era, then a scale that measures their righteousness against their wickedness must be used?
