When shall this be?1
- 1Quest.
When he shall appear, saith the Apostle, 1we shall also appear with him in glory. It is carried indefinitely to stop curiosity, there is no time set down: but when he shall appear, &c. In a word, when all the Elect shall be gathered together. It is not meet that our bodies and souls should be glorified, till all Gods people be gathered together. As in a 2family they do not sit down till all the servants be come in, and then they sit down together: so in this great family of God; the Saints in heaven and earth, there shall not be perfect glory, till all be gathered, and saved. And then what a blessed time will that be, when every one shall be glorious himself, and shall put down the Sun in glory in his body, and soul? and when there shall be such a world of them so glorious.
