And that in a four-fold respect, 1. Their Spirit or Souls, from Heaven; 2. Their Bodies, from the Grave, 3. Body and Soul united, he shall take up to himself into the Clouds. 4. And then carry all his Saints back with him into Heaven.
First, when the Lord shall descend, he will bring the spirits of just men made perfect, with him from Heaven. The Souls of all his glorified Saints (whose bodies to this moment have slept in the Grave) shall follow Christ out of the gates of the New Jerusalem, to attend that glorious solemnity: so it is ⟨p. 47⟩prophesied, Behold, 1the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his Saints. When Christ cometh to judg the world, there shall not be a Saint left in Heaven saith Chrysostom. *Heaven shall as it were be left empty to attend the King of Glory going forth out of his Royal Palace, to finish the work of the great and last Judgment of the world; he shall come attended with all his Saints, they shall fill up his Train.
- 1Jude v. 14.

Secondly, As Christ will bring their Souls with him from Heaven, so he will bring their bodies from the Grave.
