What really happens when Jesus returns? Will the Earth be destroyed, or will God transform it into something far greater?
In this powerful homily, Fr. Chris Alar explores the Catholic teaching on the Second Coming of Christ, the resurrection of the body, and the arrival of the New Jerusalem described in the Book of Revelation. Discover why God's plan is not to abandon creation but to renew it completely; where Heaven and Earth become one, glorified bodies replace suffering, and God's presence fills all creation forever.
This message offers hope, clarity, and a deeper understanding of our eternal destiny and why every day of our lives is preparation for the world to come.
"Behold, I make all things new." (Revelation 21:5)
