The answer
The life of the coming age is the eternal life that is looked for by the faithful. Man is a celestial being who, naturally, lives as a foreigner on the earth, always striving to connect to heaven, be it through his desires and prayers, or even through his charity and intercessions.
The life of the coming age is the Kingdom, and what is most beautiful in the Kingdom is that we will ever be with Christ (John 14:3; 1 Thess. 4:17). The Kingdom of God is unparalleled to anything on earth, and is brighter, greater, and more pleasant than all the sights of the earth, with its inventions and material delights. God there has prepared for us what an eye has not seen, nor an ear heard, nor what has entered the heart of man (1 Cor. 2:9). All will delight in the joy of the Divine Presence, and the unspeakable joy that is full of glory (1 Pet. 1:8).
