Although this is not the last Sunday of the liturgical year, the major theme found in the
readings is the end of time. The events that will usher in and will take place during this time
are described in apocalyptic terms. The struggles of life will culminate in a massive cosmic
confrontation between the forces of good and those of evil. This last battle will be universal
in scope, just like the first primordial conflict between chaos and God.
In some way, all of today’s readings state that good will finally prevail over evil. In the last
days Michael, the angelic warrior of God, will rise up. In the epistle, Christ is pictured seated
triumphantly at the right hand of God with his enemies under his foot, a sign of conquest.
Finally, in the gospel, the Son of Man, the mysterious figure from apocalyptic literature,
comes in the clouds with great power and glory. All of these images are apocalyptic; each of
them is quite hopeful.
We read these stories at the close of the liturgical year, because we are coming to the
conclusion of our yearly telling of the story of salvation. However, apocalyptic images are
timely whenever we find ourselves in the throes of the battle with evil and it appears that we
will succumb. These forms will remind us that good will be able to withstand evil. From this
