That's All Folks

Or is It?

Hollywood Forever Cemetery serves as a resting place for many movie stars, so you may not be amazed to come across the grave of a world-famous celebrity there. But some also come with amusing epitaphs or fascinating designs, and one of them says it all in just three words: “That’s all, folks!”. It is the grave of Mel Blanc, the Man of a Thousand Voices, who gave his heart and soul to many beloved cartoon characters. Blanc passed away on July 10, 1989, at the age of 81 from complications of emphysema and coronary artery disease. According to his will, his gravestone was fittingly engraved with Porky Pig’s famous catchphrase, “THAT’S ALL FOLKS.”

One should wonder if when our life is ended on this earth, is that all there is. Hebrews 9:27 (KJV) states that it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. What is this judgment anyway? If you believe the Bible, 2 Corinthians 5:10 (KJV) reads, For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Revelation 20:11-15 (KJV) The book of Revelation reveals more details that cause me to question if “That’s All Folks”. 11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

I conclude that when life on this earth ends, that is not all folks. What do you believe? It will make all the difference when you leave this earth. That’s All Folks.
