Our Resurrection & the Fate of the World

Did Elijah go to heaven before the gates of heaven were officially open?

If Jesus and Mary have their bodies in heaven, do all the saints have bodies in heaven—right now?

Does time exist for human souls in the afterlife?

When will the resurrection of the dead occur? At the moment of death or the end of the world—or is there a difference between the two?

What does the Magisterium of the Church say about all this?

When God creates the new heaven and the new earth, will he renew and renovate the current world or will he create an entirely new one from nothing (ex nihilo)?

These are just some of the questions we address on this week’s episode of the Jimmy Akin Podcast!
