The World to Come

Olam Haba–"the world to come" in English–is a phrase used to describe the afterlife, understood by some as the place where individual souls go upon death and by others as the place where bodies go, together with their souls, in a future time known as techiyat hametim (revival of the dead). The world to come is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, but later sources understand it as a place where divine justice is executed.
