Eschatology

"Roots in the future and branches in the present"

"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end"

"Lulled us to sleep by adding at the conclusion of Church Dogmatics a short and perfectly harmless chapter entitled 'Eschatolgy'"

It affects all aspects of theology

Eschatology central to "the pilgrim church on earth"

Eventually everyone gets saved. even everyone in hell

"The soul is incomplete without the body"

"Grief aflicting the heart for sinning against love"

"We regard paradise as our native land"

Its main goal was not about "going to heaven when you die" but about being "bodily raised into the transfigured, glorious likeness of Jesus Christ"

"That potential which was forfeited through sin, has been restored and actualized through Christ"

"Souls in purgatory are without the guilt of sin, there is no obstacle between them and God excpet pain"

"God dissolved humanity once more into its original materials, so that it could be remodled in such a way that all its defects could be eliminated and disappear"
