V. 15. For this say we unto you, by the word of the Lord, that we which live, and are remaining in the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them that sleep.
V. 15. For this say we vnto you, by the word of the Lord, that we which liue, and are remaining in the comming of the Lorde, shal not preuent them that sleepe.
16. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, and with the voice ⟨p. 170⟩of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first.
16. For the Lorde himselfe shal descende from heauen with a shout, and with the voice ⟨p. 170⟩of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God: and the dead in Christ shal rise first.
This that we declare unto you is not of our selves. It is the truth of God, it shall stand good & be found true for ever. God will raise our bodies out of the grave, […] restore them from death to life. You may not reason how, or in what order this shall be done: or, who shall be the first or the second, or the third, that shall rise up in the resurrection. Such questions are unfit and not to be moved. We shall all be changed in a 1moment, in the twinkling of an eye. At that hour, some shall be alive, and some shall be dead. For he shall come to judge both the quick and the dead. We that are remaining, in the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them that sleep. Neither is their part better in the resurrection, that shall then be found alive: nor their part worse, that have been dead many years before. For they which were dead shall as soon be partakers of the glory of the sons of God, as the other.
