But he[Jesus] taking her by the hand, cried out, saying: Maid, arise. ... And her spirit returned: and she arose immediately. And he bid them give her to eat."

Committed to God's care at death

And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years."

But Jesus again answering, saith to them: Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God? It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Who wondered the more, saying among themselves: Who then can be saved? And Jesus looking on them, saith with men it is impossible; but not with God. For all things are possible with God."

• 1 Thessalonians 4:15 "For the Lord himself shall come down from heaven with commandment and with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God: and the dead who are in Christ shall rise first."

Degrees of happiness in heaven

• Wisdom 2:24 "But by the envy of the devil, death came into the world"
• Romans 5:12 "Wherefore as by one man sin entered into this world and by sin death: and so death passed upon all men, in whom all have sinned."

And JESUS WEPT ... for he[Lazarus] is now[dead] of four days. ... When he had said these things, he cried with a loud voice: Lazarus, come forth. And presently he[Lazarus] that had been dead came forth..."(Jesus, Martha and Mary lamented over the death of Lazarus, and Jesus rose Lazarus from the dead, even after he had been dead for four days.)

Death is to be feared and respected

• Saint Mark 14:32-33 "And they came to a farm called Gethsemani. And he saith to his disciples: Sit you here, while I pray. And he taketh Peter and James and John with him: and he[Jesus] began to fear and to be heavy.(Jesus, Himself, had a natural fear of the type of death we was about to undergo.)

All who die in Christ shall live with him

• Romans 8:17 And if sons, heirs also; heirs indeed of God and joint heirs with Christ: yet so, if we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him."
• 2 Saint Timothy 2:11 "A faithful saying: for if we be dead with him, we shall live also with him."

PURGATORY

Purification necessary for heaven

• Saint Matthew 5:48 "Be you therefore PERFECT, as also your heavenly Father is perfect."(A soul that is not spiritually PERFECT can NOT enter Heaven. We will not enter Heaven until we are made spiritually perfect by the fire of Purgatory.)
• 1 Saint Peter 1:16 "Because it is written: You shall be holy, for I am holy."

An intermediate state of purification

• Saint Matthew 5:26 "Amen I say to thee, thou shalt not go out from thence till thou repay the last farthing[penny]."(We CAN NOT enter heaven until we have paid all our debt of sin due to the temporal punishments of our sins. It is like having a credit card. One will not be free from debt until they have paid all their credit card bills. In God's Infinite Justice He demands that Perfect Justice be made. Does it make any sense that one who has commited many mortal sins and makes a death-bed conversion should receive the same reward as one who has only commited venial sins?)
• Saint Luke 12:58-59 "...and the judge deliver thee to the exacter, and the exacter[one who settles balances, one who demands payment from] cast thee into prison[Purgatory]. I say to thee, thou shalt not go out thence until thou pay the very last mite[penny].

Degrees of expiation of sins

• Saint Luke 12:47-48 "And that servant, who knew the will of his lord and prepared not himself and did not according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not and did things worthy of stripes shall be beaten with few stripes. And unto whomsoever much is given, of him much shall be required: and to whom they have committed much, of him they will demand the more."(According to our sins, we will be "beaten with stripes", have to make expiation for all of our sins in Purgatory.)
• Psalms 88:33 "I will visit their iniquities with a rod and their sins with stripes."

Can be aided by prayer

• 2 Machabees 12:44-45 "For if he had not hoped that they that were slain should rise again, it would have seemed superfluous and vain to pray for the dead, And because he considered that they who had fallen asleep with godliness, had great grace laid up for them.(It is not vain to pray for the dead, in fact we can have "great grace laid up for them".)
• 2 Machabees 12:46 "It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead that they may be loosed from their sins"

After expiation - Heaven

• 1 Corinthians 3:15 "If any mans work burn, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire." (Almost NO ONE goes straight to Heaven. We must be purified by the fires of Purgatory.)

HELL - (GEHENNA)

THE SIGNS OF THE END

• Saint Matthew 24:4-7 "And Jesus answering, said to them: Take heed that no man seduce you. For many will come in my name saying, I am Christ. And they will seduce many.

• Saint Luke 21:7-12 "And they asked him, saying: Master, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign when they shall begin to come to pass?

And when you shall hear of wars and seditions, be not terrified. These things must first come to pass: but the end is not yet presently. Then he said to them: Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there shall be great earthquakes in divers places and pestilences and famines and terrors from heaven: and there shall be great signs. But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and into prisons, dragging you before kings and governors, for my name's sake."

• Saint Luke 21:25 "And there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, by reason of the confusion of the roaring of the sea, and of the waves"(The climate changes we have seen around the world is definitely a sign of the end times.)
• Saint Matthew "But of that day and hour no one knoweth: no, not the angels of heaven, but the Father alone."(The exact day of the end of time will be known by no one, but we do know according to Our Lady of Fatima that we are definitely living in the Last Times.)
