In the light of modern knowledge, we discover the real signification of the apocalypse. It does not represent the end of the world but some successive stages of creation. During the big transition, the humans will be replaced by new men. Creation involves matter, energy, information, intelligent project, and spiritual components (souls). Immortal human souls have the mission to learn and progress. Not all succeed with this. During the big transition, only the evolved souls will return to life by new incorporation in selected human embryos. Then, by a new divine intervention, they will give rise to new men.
