It was foretold in way of consequence in Paradise, for the head of the serpent could not be broken but by conquering death, which is the last enemy: it was figured out unto us in Aaron's dead sere rod that budded, and Jonahs deliverance out of the belly of the fish, where he had been 3. days and three nights. It was believed of all the fathers, Heb. 12. And for security before the flood Enoch, and after the flood Elijah, were taken up in their bodies.
