What will it be like when the world comes to an end?

When the world comes to an end, Christ comes for all to see.

The dramatic upheavals (Lk 18:8; Mt 24:3-14) that are foretold in Sacred Scripture the wickedness that will be plainly manifest, the trials and persecutions that will put the faith of many to the test these are only the dark side of the new reality: God's definitive victory over evil will be visible. God's glory, truth, and justice will stand out brilliantly. With Christ's coming there will be "a new heaven and a new earth". "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away" (Rev 21:4).


What will it be like when Christ judges us and the whole world?

Even Christ cannot help someone who does not want to know anything about love; such a person judges himself.

Because Jesus Christ is "the way, and the truth, and the life" (Jn 14:6), he will show what is of lasting value in God's sight and what is not. Held up to the standard of his life, the full truth about all people, things, thoughts, and events will come to light. (YOUCAT questions 111 & 112)
