Judgment Day

When Rebbe Yochanan ben Zakkai got sick, his students visited them.  As soon as he saw them, he began to cry.

His students said to him: "Light of Israel, Rightmost Pillar, Mighty Hammer!  Why are you crying?"

He said to them: "If they were leading me before a King of flesh and blood, who is here today and in the grave tomorrow, whose anger is temporary, whose prison sentence is temporary, whose death sentence is temporary, who can be flattered and bribed, I would certainly cry."

But now they are leading me before the King of Kings, the Holy One blessed be He, whose existence is eternal, whose anger is eternal, whose prison sentence is eternal, whose death sentence is eternal, and who can't be flattered or bribed.

I see two paths, one to Eden and one to Gehinnom, and I don't know on which they will lead me.

So like of course I'm crying.

They said to him: "Rebbe, give us a blessing!"

He replied: "May the fear of God be upon you as great as the fear of your fellow men."

They replied: "Really?  Like the fear of fellow men?  Shouldn't the fear of God be a little bit greater?"

He replied: "Don't get your hopes up.  When a person sins, he thinks to himself: I hope no one saw me just do that!"

Rebbe Yochanan ben Zakkai's last words were: "Remove all the utensils so that they don't become ritually impure.  Oh, and would you please pull up a chair for Chizkiyahu, King of Yehuda, who has come to escort me?"

(Brachot 28b)
