Eschatology

Abraham replied, 'My child, remember that you received

what was good during your lifetime while Lazarus likewise

received what was bad; but now he is comforted here,

whereas you are tormented. Moreover, between us and

you a great chasm is established to prevent anyone from

crossing who might wish to go from our side to yours or

from your side to ours.' He said, 'Then I beg you, father,

send him to my father's house, for I have five brothers,

so that he may warn them, lest they too come to this place

of torment.' But Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and

the prophets. Let them listen to them.' He said, 'Oh no,

father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to

them, they will repent.' Then Abraham said, 'If they will

not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they

be persuaded if someone should rise from the dead.'"
