First; 1Negatively. He peremptorily denieth that the living Saints at Christs coming in glory, shall have any the least advantage (above the sleeping Saints) by their being found alive at that day; We which are alive and remain, shall not prevent them which are asleep. Vers. 16 i. e. The living Saints shall not prevent the dead Saints in any privilege of the Resurrection; or of the appearance of the Lord Jesus. It might probably be a temptation upon the Thessalonians (or other Christians): 1. Either that the Saints only which should be found alive at the last day, should have the happiness of seeing the Lord Jesus coming in his Glory, with all his mighty Angels (to judg the world) and they only should enjoy the privilege of his Glorious appearance; that all the Saints that died before that day, even from the beginning of the world, were a lost generation, that should never come forth again to the light, or to behold the glory of that day, or to enjoy the blessed fruits and consequences of it. 2. Or (at least) that they should be the first in that happiness to see his Glory, and have the first share in the felicities and triumph of that day, or ever the sleeping Saints should be awakened or get out of their beds of dust.
