X. Last Things
God, in His own time and in His own way, will bring the
world to its appropriate end. According to His promise,
Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly in glory to
the earth; the dead will he raised; and Christ will judge
all men in righteousness. The unrighteous will be consigned
to Hell, the place of everlasting punishment. The righteous
in their resurrected and glorified bodies will receive their
reward and will dwell forever in Heaven with the Lord.
