In this lecture video, the main focus of the video was the Last Things. There were 4 Last Things that were discussed in the video. These 4 Last Things are Judgment, Heaven, Purgatory, and Hell. There are two different types of judgments discussed in the video. First, there is the Final Judgement when Christ will come in glory to judge the living and the dead. Also, there is the Particular Judgement when each soul is judged immediately at the end of the individual's life. At this moment, it is decided where you will go; Heaven or Hell. You go to Hell if you die with constant rejection of God and His salvation. However, you go to Heaven if you die with the acceptance and worship of God. The ultimate goal of life is Heaven. Heaven is eternal happiness because God is happiness. Heaven is God, the angels, and all the other human beings in union with Him in eternal happiness. The Beatific vision is present in Heaven where there is the face-to-face glory of God. In Purgatory, we are in a special condition or state. Purgatory is a mental state rather than an actual place. While we are in Purgatory, we will be freed of every attachment to sin during our lifetime. We are relieved of some pain knowing that we will eventually be cleansed to go into Heaven. It is temporary separation from God where Hell is eternal separation from God, who is happiness. We go to Hell when an individual dies with constant rejection of God and His Salvation. Along with that, we can go to Hell if we die with mortal sins on our soul without repenting or receiving Penance. All of these things are the Last Things that we find in our textbook.
