Dooms were used to remind medieval Christians of the afterlife and Judgment Day, and to help keep them mindful of sinning by showing in graphic detail the dramatic difference between Heaven and Hell. A Doom was usually sited at the front (Chancel end) of a church, often on the Chancel arch itself, so that it would be constantly in view of worshippers as they looked towards the Priest during services. This was a very effective method of control of the illiterate mass who could not read the Latin Bible or understand the Latin the Priest was preaching.

Although there are many different versions of the theme, the theme's format stays broadly the same. On one side of a Doom painting is Heaven, whilst on the other is Hell. At the top of the image sits Jesus Christ in glory with His hands raised in judgment. Typically flanking Him is Mary the Mother of Jesus on one side and The Apostle John on the other, with the rest of the Twelve Apostles encircling the three of them. The angels are blowing their trumpets to raise the dead for judgment. Commonly the Archangel Michael is depicted in the centre, with the scales he will use to weigh the souls of humanity to see if individually they are fit for Heaven: one person is on one side of the scale while demonic creatures that represent the sins committed by the person are on the other side of the scale. The creatures are trying to tip the scales in their favour while, in some versions of the painting, The Virgin Mary has a rosary placed next to the person she wishes to protect or has her hand on the scale to counterbalance the demons' attempts.

Those who are worthy of Heaven are brought to the gates of Heaven, frequently represented by a castle with large walls built to keep out sinful impurities. This is most commonly depicted on the left hand side of Doom paintings. Groups of angels adorn the walls of Heaven celebrating the welcome possession of the Saved as they make their way to Heaven's gates where, waiting by the entrance, is The Apostle Peter who has a key he uses to open up the gates of Heaven for the Saved to come in and enjoy eternal rest and happiness and to be in God's presence forever. In theology, salvation can mean three related things: freed forever from the punishment of sin Revelation 1:5-6 NRSV - also called deliverance;[1] being saved for something, such as an afterlife or participating in the Reign of God Revelation 1:6 NRSV - also called redemption;[2]) and a process...

Those who are unworthy of Heaven are depicted on the other side of the painting being seized by demons bringing them into the mouth of Hell, beyond which (albeit out of sight) lie the bowels of Hell where endless pain and torment await them. The mouth of Hell is usually represented by a huge reptilian monster (Leviathan) with its fiery mouth open wide to receive the Damned as they are being forced into it. In some cases the demons have chains tied around the Damned who are helplessly being pulled in, while in others the Damned are being dragged or carried in. In yet other cases the Damned are brought into Hell while being forced to ride in wheelbarrows or carried in baskets.
