Our focus is shifting eschatologically toward the end of Time as we approach the end of the liturgical year, as evident in the readings.
Jesus tells His disciples to be aware of the signs that the Reign of God is coming to its fulfillment. Christ will return, and all souls will be judged--imagery also used in the reading from Daniel.
For some of us, we'll experience the horrors of the second death. Others of us will be lifted from the graves to abide with God forever in a perfect, pure relationship with Him, who has offered the sacrifice that has freed us from sin and forgiven us fully, that we may attain the great inheritance of salvation.
