Towards the Most Noble Companion

The 25th Hour from God, as an eternal reward. He hopes that death will become for him an exit from this imperfect world and an entry into a perfect one. The 25th Hour T he 25th Hour is the name of a book by a French writer. It talks about the current state of the world, about how it is divided into rival camps, each trying to eliminate the others, and about how this rivalry can only end in the complete extermination of humanity. A frantic arms race transforms the whole world into a vast dumping-ground for weapons, and continuous war preparations drag the globe to the brink of total destruction. The author remarks that our 24th hour is past, and that now our 25th hour—when the world will end—is just about to start. What the author relates in connection with this enormous, final war triggered off by human beings has echoes with the Divine Day of Judgment. God has created this world for a limited period of time in order to test human beings. The duration of this period is known to God alone. We humans have no definite knowledge of how long it will be. At any moment, God can announce the end of this period. And then, the whole world and the entire edifice of human civilization will be destroyed.
