The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1913-03-02

Mount OF Olives, the whole multitude
OF the disciples began TO rejoice and
praise God with a loud voice for all
the mighty works that they had seen;
saying: Blessed be the king that
oometh in the name of the Lord;
peace in heaven and glory in the
highest" Amid al! his trouble Job
firmly believed, not that he would
have return to prosperity in this
iffe--for this ne did not-but that at
the last his Redeemer should raise
him from the dead and make him, in
his flesh. in the very same body he
then had. to see God as his friend and
portion. Job 10. Is, 26: For I know
that my Redeemer IIyeth and that he
shall stand at the last day upon the
earth. And though after my skin
worms destroy this body, yet In my
flesh shall | see God" With the view
hereof, God comforts His church. lisa.
20: l4i Thy dead men shall live to-
gether with my dead body shall they
arise. Awake and sing. We that dwell
in dust; for thy dew is as the dew OF
herbs. and the earth shall cast out
the dead"
In the New Testament this truth
Is evidently asserted in multitude of
places. John 6: 40; And this is the
Will of Him that sent me, that every
one which seeth the Son, and belieyeth
in him, may have everlasting life, and
! will raise him up at the last day."
John IL: "a: Martha saith unto him.
| know that he shall rise again in the
resurrection at the last day" Rom.
y; II: But II the spirit of Him that
raised up Jesus from the dead dwell
IN You, ne that raised up Christ from
the dead shall also quicken your NOR
tai bodies, by his spirit that dwelleth
in you" Heb. s: 2: "Of the doctrine
Of baptisms and laying on of hands.
and Of resurrection of the dead, and
Of eternal Judgment" The above is
only a few references. That The same
body will be raised is evident from
the reason above mentioned, rs well
as from the very nature of the resur-
recuon; for if the same body were not
raised II could be no resurrection but
new creation. 1t in the body that
once was vile, mortal, diseased and
dead and buried, and bore the image
Of the earthly Adam, that shall be
raised, changed and glorifed. Phil.
i: Fl: Who shall change our vile
body, that IL may be fashioned like
unto his glorious body, according to
the working whereby he is able even
10 subdue all things unto himself" /
Cor, IL: AZ; $50 also Is the resurrec-
ton of the dead, 1t is sown in cor
rupuon. 1t Is raised in tncorru ption; IL
IL SoWiI IL IatQFAl DOU3, IL Is raised q
spiritual body" Please read the en-
tire chapter. That the saints bodies
shall rise first, and be rendered
glorious like unto Christ's glorffied
body, and spiritual. so as to need no
meat or drink, and 10 be no clog to
the soul, is also plain.
The vain questions concerning the
time of the resurrection, the apparent
difficulties of the raising of the same

that are raised, are dismissed as i'm
proper for discussion here. Nothing
proper is impossible for the power
and wisdom OF God. But let us know
and earnestly remember that by the
resurrection of life the cody shall,
first in order, and in a glorious man
ner, be raised to enjoy everlasting
happiness: and bv the resurrection OF
damnation the wicked shall rise to
everlasting shame and torment: while
he'll (grave) shall give up their de-
parted souls, the sea and the earth
shall produce their dead bodies John
s.: rs, 20: Marvel not at this; for
The hour lis coming. in the which all
that are in the grave shall hear his
voice, and shall come forth. they that
have done good, unto the resurrection
OF life; and they that hath done evil
unto the resurrection of damnation."
Rev. 20: 10: And / saw the dead |
small and great, stand before God;
and the books were opened. and an
ether book was opened. which is the
book OF life, and the dead were
judged out of those things which were
written in the books, according to
their works" Soul and body re-
united. henceforth nothing shall
div Idle; no more sorrow, no more
weeping; nc more pain, no more |
dying"
