The greatest event for all mankind is yet to happen. That event will be the resurrection of the dead. Every human being, that has ever lived, will have their eternal spirit united with an eternal and perfected body, never to be parted again. The righteous will be resurrected first with the unrighteous being resurrected lastly after the millennium. The 2nd symphony, or the Resurrection Symphony, of Gustav Mahler envisions man’s death, remembrance of his life and questioning if there is life after death, and culminates with the glorious event of the resurrection of all mankind.
