The last decision is not the act of overthrowing, the decision of the soul at the time of its separation from the body, but rather of realizing a union with the transformed, resurrected body with which the soul will continue to live forever. After separation, the soul has its senses and therefore feels, perceives, and generally exercises all the energies of the soul (Revelation 6: 9-10; 7:15; 1 Peter 3:19; Hebrews 12:23; Luke 16: 27-28). The word "sleep," in which death is characterized, refers not to the soul but to the body. In Matthew 27:52, we read that many saints who had fallen asleep were asked. The final decision will take place on the second coming of Jesus Christ, a strong belief of the Church is recorded in the Faith Symbol that "He (Jesus Christ) will come again with glory to judge the quick and the dead." The hour of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ is not known and, according to the Apocalypse, can not be guessed by any means.
