Final hour

By no means would I deny the resurrection of the body at the Final Hour. Rather, I would argue, on the one hand, that the ‘‘grave’’ signifies a trajectory that leads, for the majority, to Judgment at the Final Hour, and, on the other, that Heaven can be conceived not simply as a ‘‘place’’ awaiting us at the end of some chronological continuum but as a dimension of being that exists in a mode of time transcending terrestrial temporality, a location transcending terrestrial space, and partaking of a substance scarcely imaginable for the human mind. ‘‘My Kingdom is not of this world’’ (John 18:36) because ‘‘the Kingdom of God is within you’’ (Luke 17:21). Heaven can thus be conceived as both transcending the world metaphysically and penetrating the world ontologically.
