First, The holy Angels of God shall be sent abroad, to gather together the scattered dust of the Saints, though separated one from the other at never so great a distance into all the quarters and extremities of the earth, 1and shall bring them ⟨p. 48⟩together, 2not so much as one dust wanting (for he that numbers the Stars, doth number also the dust and ashes of his Redeemed): as not an hair of their heads, so not a dust of their resolved flesh shall perish.
- 1Math. 24.31.
- 2Math. 24.31. The incineration, & dissipation of their dust shall have a Recollection in the Resurrection.
Thus gathered together, Christ by his mighty power shall unite dust to dust, every dust in its own proper place, and form it up into the same numerical body it was, when it was dissolved and laid down in the Grave.
And thus made up into a beautiful Structure, (more beautiful than ever it was in its first Creation, as I shall show hereafter); Christ will put each Soul into its own body again, and unite them together into the same sweet conjugal society and fellowship they possessed before their separation; this friendly espoused Pair, shall now be solemnly Married together, before God, and Men, and Angels, never to suffer Divorce any more, and they shall become one entire person, a totum compositum, as they were in the days of their first contract.
