Chapter 16: Of the World to Come

That the end of this world is approaching;^a that at the Last Day, Christ will descend from heaven,^b and raise the dead from the grave to final retribution;^c that a solemn separation will then take place;^d that the wicked will be adjudged to endless punishment, and the righteous to endless joy;^e and that this judgment will fix forever the final state of men in heaven or hell, on principles of righteousness.^f
