Another analogy, this is a good one

First, don't miss Pope Benedict's great answers to two questions raised by priests during a meeting on February 7. One deals with the reality of heaven, purgatory, hell and sin, and as always sheds great light on why these truths have been wrongly de-emphasized.

Anyway, while reading what the Holy Father said, I thought of a crystal clear way to help people understand the reality of and difference between "personal judgment" upon the death of a human and "final judgment (and resurrection of the body)" at the End of Times.

Let's use a job analogy that everyone can understand.

Upon each person's death they meet with their boss, get their performance review, and their new (and eternal) assignment: hell, purgatory, heaven.

At the End of Times the Lord will do the total reorganization of humanity and earth. This is why it is the Final Judgment because all those who have not yet been "assigned" (since they are still alive) will be assigned, and then humanity in total will be "reorganized" so that while people have glorified bodies restored they do not repeat the cycle of a flawed cycle of original sin and any influence of sin at all. This is possible because all the "chaff" is discarded, the "wheat" has been saved and most importantly after being purified (purgatory) and achieving heaven all souls will have been so fundamentally reborn and transformed that they will not again go the way of Adam and Eve.

Hope this helps. Time's a wasting and it's important that people have a cold dash of water and realize that many have already gone to their future job assignment with great gnashing of teeth. Trust me, I don't enjoy repeating this on a daily basis and harping on it, and I enjoy even less the sour pusses of snots who I see on a daily basis who don't believe me. They'll find out when it is too late but what disturbs me is that they, like the Communists the Pope refers to in the above Q&A, drag along to the not-very-nice future job assignment a lot of people who could otherwise have been saved had they been properly formed from childhood in the true faith and piety toward God.
