Secondly, Death is called a gathering to our Fathers, (2 Chron. 34:28.) Behold I will gather thee to thy Fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace. There's a gathering to a more special company, and that with other like Scriptures are an argument that we shall know our relations in heaven. For, to be gathered to our Fathers, spoken of in the first part of the verse, is more then to be gathered to the grave, spoken of in the latter; and by our fathers, we are to understand more of our fathers then the grave hath in its keeping (which is but their bodies) even their souls, which are kept in heaven.
Thirdly, According to the phrase of this Text, death is called a gathering to God; If he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath.
Whence Note, Fourthly.
The spirit or soul of man hath its original from God.
