Living in God's Glory

THE TWENTY-FIFTH HOUR visions of greatness had occupied his mind, but he was forced to enter the grave and proceed to God’s court of justice. This world is quite different from what he had sought to construct for himself on earth. here he is destitute, without money to fulfil his needs or clothes to hide his body. all his worldly earnings come to nothing. his friends desert him. he is left powerless with nothing he has depended on in the world to help him. Just as life’s journey is nearing completion, it is struck by disaster—inevitable death—what a tragic outcome to such a long, arduous journey! THE TWENTY-FIFTH HOUR People should fear most the Last Trumpet with which God will announce the end of the world. The advent of the Qiyamah or the Final Day is as sure as its consequences are eternal. The thought of the twenty-fifth hour somehow takes us into a strange realm beyond our neat and comfortable ideas about the twenty-fourth hour. We happily begin another day at the end of the twenty-fourth hour. Full of life, hope and promise. as always. The Twenty-Fifth Hour? is the title of a book published in France, analyzing world perspectives of the day. according to its author, this twenty-fifth hour is the hour of doom, an hour which could arrive at any moment.
