then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.”, (1Cor 15:28). The created nature of all things, even the humanity of Jesus will attain its divine union with God, as intended from the beginning, (CCC 398, 1Pet 1:4). God may at his pleasure make another cycle of creation. Pope Pius XII was the first pope to state that scientific models of a non-static universe were possible.

Jesus is the single most frequently encountered person in NDE’s, and NDE Jesus satisfies Catholic theology:
• Jesus is in charge of Heaven. He is not just a human of history who lived and died.
• Jesus saves. Many NDE visitors call on Jesus and are saved from Hell.X
• Jesus is Heaven itself, and all who are residents. We do not live our lives in Heaven, but as Christ in Heaven; who is our life and our resurrection; and our Heaven as well, (Jn 11:25).
• Jesus is merciful, just and attuned only to our development in the attributes of Christ, especially unconditional love. Our resumes are left in the trash can at the gates of Heaven.
• Jesus is just, and not a simplified satisfying construction.
NDE accounts have Jesus or his court of Heaven assigning people to Heaven, Hell and Purgatory.
Jesus is always identified by the NDE visitor, and they are certain of his correct identity. NDE Communication usually occurs without spoken words, but by spiritual telepathy.
It is a Catholic teaching that all persons in Heaven are members of Christ, who is now the entire body of Christ. There is no particular reason that Buddha, Mohammed, Moses or any other member of Christ would not be seen in Heaven, or even greeting someone at its gates, and this does occur in NDE’s.
