"The World To Come"
Although Judaism concentrates on the importance of the Earthly world (Olam Ha'zeh — "this world"), all of classical Judaism posits an afterlife. The hereafter is known as 'olam ha-ba (the "world to come", עולם הבא in Hebrew), and related to concepts of Gan Eden (the Heavenly "Garden of Eden", or paradise) and Gehinom. According to religious Judaism, any non-Jew who lives according to the Seven Laws of Noah is regarded as a righteous gentile, and is assured of a place in the world to come, the final reward of the righteous.
