Eastern Orthodox perspective on "the End Times" by Archbishop Lazar Puhalo

As in most Christian sects, Orthodox Christians do believe in a “Final Judgment”, but the Orthodox differ in their belief in that people - ultimately - judge themselves...One Orthodox prayer says that God is "...everywhere present and fills all things.” Therefore, Hell, to the Orthodox Church, is only a metaphor. Hell isn’t a place of eternal punishment inflicted by God, but a human soul's inability to participate in God's infinite love, which is given freely and abundantly - to everyone - for all time.
