Reconciling the brief Life of a Young Child
What happens to us immediately following death?
Eileen Renders
What we know is what has been written in the Catholic Bible by Jesus’ Apostles and Disciples. To understand our destiny, I am providing those Verses that will enlighten and guide us.
The Catholic Church shows distinction from the Particular Judgment occurring just after death and the Final Judgment, which occurs when all life is extinguished and all will be publicly judged, and only Heaven and Hell will exist.
Corinthians 5:8 “We are happy then to be away from the body and prefer to be at home in Heaven.”
Corinthians 3:15 “If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he will be saved, yet so as through fire.”
Hebrews 9:27 “As it is appointed unto men, once to die, and then the judgement.”
John 14:2-3 “In My Father’s house are many mansions, if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” 14:3 “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there ye may be also.”
Matthew 25:31-46 “This passage describes the Last Judgment, when the Son of Man will separate the righteous from the unrighteous, likening them to sheep and goats. The righteous will inherit the kingdom prepared for them, while the unrighteous will depart into eternal punishment.”
Revelation 21:4 and 20:15 “ And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. And death shall be no more. And neither mourning, nor crying out, nor grief shall be anymore. For the first things have passed away.” 20:15 “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Symbolizing the Final Judgment.
1 Thessalonians 4:17 “Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.”
