10. What Is the Last Judgment?

W-pII.10.1. Christ's Second Coming gives the Son of God this gift: to hear the Voice for God proclaim that what is false is false, and what is true has never changed. ² And this the judgment is in which perception ends. ³ At first you see a world that has accepted this as true, projected from a now corrected mind. ⁴ And with this holy sight, perception gives a silent blessing and then disappears, its goal accomplished and its mission done.

W-pII.10.2. The final judgment on the world contains no condemnation. ² For it sees the world as totally forgiven, without sin and wholly purposeless. ³ Without a cause, and now without a function in Christ's sight, it merely slips away to nothingness. ⁴ There it was born, and there it ends as well. ⁵ And all the figures in the dream in which the world began go with it. ⁶ Bodies now are useless, and will therefore fade away, because the Son of God is limitless.

W-pII.10.3. You who believed that God's Last Judgment would condemn the world to hell along with you, accept this holy truth: God's Judgment is the gift of the Correction He bestowed on all your errors, freeing you from them, and all effects they ever seemed to have. ² To fear God's saving grace is but to fear complete release from suffering, return to peace, security and happiness, and union with your own Identity.

W-pII.10.4. God's Final Judgment is as merciful as every step in His appointed plan to bless His Son, and call him to return to the eternal peace He shares with him. ² Be not afraid of love. ³ For it alone can heal all sorrow, wipe away all tears, and gently waken from his dream of pain the Son whom God acknowledges as His. ⁴ Be not afraid of this. ⁵ Salvation asks you give it welcome. ⁶ And the world awaits your glad acceptance, which will set it free.

W-pII.10.5. This is God's Final Judgment: "You are still My holy Son, forever innocent, forever loving and forever loved, as limitless as your Creator, and completely changeless and forever pure. ² Therefore awaken and return to Me. ³ I am your Father and you are My Son."
