The systematic treatment of people who have died has been largely neglected in theology. Reformed theologians have not done justice to this subject, which is the very core of what will come in the future. Although some aspects of the question have received due emphasis, other parts have been neglected or forgotten.

From God's saving grace to man's eventual fall, what will happen to us at the end of time seems clear: death, waiting, judgement and the positioning of the righteous and unrighteous. As we grow older and get closer to death it is a good time to start thinking about what will happen.

Jesus Christ will return again. The kingdom of God is already present in a believer. Eternal life is there. The Spirit of God is already in the faithful who are waiting for their heavenly places. When we are dead, that will mark the eternal glories of the future.

It will be a mighty struggle and a crisis when the human race reaches its final chapter. The end is not something I would recommend to anyone with all the violence and struggles. The book of Revelation gives us an insight into the future. The end will reveal the final condition of both the righteous and the wicked, or the good and the bad.

Before Jesus Christ's return, the end of the present existence comes with death for the individual, which will be eternity for all people. Physical death, the immortality of the soul, comes with the waiting, then the judgement starts with God in command.
