ESCHATOLOGY AND ITS SPIRITUAL DIMENSION

Summary/Abstract: As for the end of history and the world as we know it, this is usually reinforced by the idea of justice, but an eternal and absolute justice that can only be provided by Someone Almighty, not a corrupt and unsatisfactory human justice. This sense of justice is found in all human beings throughout the ages, as evidenced by the many codes of law that have been developed over the centuries in an attempt to imitate divine justice. In the texts of the Holy Gospels, the Saviour gives us a much deeper understanding of the meaning of life after death. He emphasises the individual destiny of each person after death, moving away from the collective idea of judgement (of the whole nation) and giving each person a special value. Man is called to appropriate the resurrection of Christ in order to reign with him "a thousand years". But this co-reign will not be fully realized until the Second Coming of Christ, when the whole world will be purified and transfigured, but after the Universal Judgment, when eternal justice will be established.
