Thirdly, This day of Judgement, must be the same with the Resurrection of the Dead, at the end of this World. As therefore the Tares ⟨p. 87⟩are gathered and burned in the fire, so shall it be in the end of this World. The Son of Man shall send forth his Angels, and they shall gather out of his Kingdom all things that offend, and them that do iniquity, and shall cast them into a Furnace of fire, there shall be weeping, and gnashing of Teeth. Mat. 13. 40, 41. There shall then be a Resurrection of the Dead, both of the just, and unjust.
Fourthly, The Sovereignty of the Lord Jesus over all Creatures, doth plainly foreshow a Resurrection of the bad, as well as of the good. Indeed, the unjust shall not arise, by virtue of any relation they stand in to the Lord Jesus, as the Saints shall; but yet, because all are delivered into his hand, and he made Sovereign Lord over them: therefore, by an Act of his Sovereign Power, they that are ungodly, shall arise, this is Christs own Argument, The Father judgeth no man, saith he, but hath committed all Judgment unto the Son, that is, Count him, and fall before him as their Sovereign Lord, even as they honour the Father, and he hath given him authority, to execute Judgement also, because he is the Son of Man. And then ⟨p. 88⟩he adds, Marvel not at this, for the hour is coming, that all that are in their graves shall hear his Voice, and shall come forth, they that have done good, to the Resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, to the Resurrection of damnation. Joh. 5. 22, 23, 27, 28, 29. From hence also Paul argueth, saying, For this cause he both dyed, rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. And then adds, We must all stand before the Judgement Seat of Christ.
