XVIII. Of the World to Come ᏐᎢ ᏩᏕᏂᎯᏍᏗ ᏗᎨᏒᎢ

We believe that the end of the world is approaching; that at the Last Day Christ will

descend from heaven, and raise the dead from the grave to final retribution; that a solemn

separation will then take place; that the wicked will be adjudged to endless punishment,

and the righteous to endless joy; and that this judgment will fix forever the final state of

men in heaven or hell, on principles of righteousness.
