““The rich man also died and was buried. 

In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up 

and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 

So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me

 and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water 

and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’”

…between us and you a great chasm has been set in place,

 so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, 

nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭16:22-26‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The ultimate togetherness

The final togetherness

One place or the other

One person not the other

One Presence or total absence

Togetherness extreme, ultimate, final.
