The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1919-12-06

Those who were raised with Him at that time
constitute the Fruits Matthew 27:51-53).
g. Death came by the first man Adam, and the
Resurrection of all the sainted dead - THE
OUT RESURRECTION FROM AMONG
THE DEAD will come by the Second Man:
the Lord from Heaven.
4. AS all the saints have died in Adam Gas
result of the Adamic fall = Romans 12:5-19)
so all the saints will be made alive in Christ,
the Second Adam.
This is the meaning Tin harmony with the
teaching thought of the entire Chapter) of
Verse Twenty-Five.
Some think that it also includes the final
redemption of every human being, but I Cor
inthians, Chapter Fifteen, does not concern it
self with the doctrine of Final Restoration but
only with THE OUT RESURRECTION
FROM AMONG THE DEAD.
S. Every man will come out of Paradise and
up from the tomb Gin his own order," rank,
division or band; for the Out Resurrection will
be in two grand installments:
Cd Christ and those with Him in A. D. 81,
"the first fruits" Matthew 27:5l-53).
(2) The rest of those who Christ's at
His Coming Verse %; Hebrews 1885, 40;
| Thessalonians 4:13-18.
This will include all those of the HARVEST
PERIOD = the martyred saints of the last
Seven Years Revelation 6:9-ll; 14:l3-16; 17:6
and also 15:1-4
V. THE MILLENNIAL AND PERFECT
SAINTS = Verses Twenty-four to Twenty
eight
"Then the End When? When He de-
l1vers the kingdom up to God, the Father The
Reign is to continue longer than the Millen-
MUM = until ALL enemies are DESTROYED, ALL
rule and authority put down.
Death is not destroyed until after the Millen-
MUM Verse Twenty-six
The greatest rebellion of ALL time will oc-
| cur after the Thousand Years (Reveation TO-
us
1t is the Perfect Age Kingdom which is sur
rendered to God the Father
| VI PRACTICAL OBSERVATIONS
Twenty-Five to Thirty-four.
| l. Baptism for the dead There are various
theories extant about this verse There seems
to have been a church-at-C orinth custom of
baptizing for the dead Just what it was, the
| Bible nowhere reveals. This is the only
reference to the custom. The point is: If
the Christian dead rise not why should bap-
tism be perforated for the dead?
| z. If the saints rise not, why should the living
| Christians pass the time of their sojourning
here in fear?-Verse Thirty, with I Peter | IL
! 5. Ii the Christian dead rise not, why should
Paul land all true Zion after him) ("die daily"
Literal Greek rendering, why every day am
tyrdom?
4 II the Christian dead rise not, why should
Paul have fought with beast-like men at Eph-
esus-Compare Acts 1884, 2O:17-21; II
Iorlnthlans 1910 especially, with I Corin-
thians 1913, g.
| 5. If Christ and the saints rise not, let us in
dulge in sin with utter abandon-"eat and
| drink, for tomorrow we die" and that is all
| 9. Verse Thirty-three means: Do not be led
F, astray. A vicious, sensual life wrecks good
| habits. If you to be OUT RESURREC-
| TED, live accordingly.
| 7. Verse Thirty-four: Practice righteousness.
Do not sin. Some in Corinth land some in
| Zion now have not the knowledge of God
| Paul wrote this to their shame Do any in
Zion have need to be ashamed?
VII THE OUT RESURRECTION BODY
! OF EACH SAINT-Verses Thirty-fve to
| Forty-nine
THE GREAT QUESTION: How are the
Christian dead raised up and what kind of
body will they have?
| The detailed answer follows:
| |. That which is sown is not quickened (made
| to produce life) except it first die. Compare
! John 12:23-25) The body of flesh is planted
In the OUT RESURRECTION, another BODY
| appears (Verses Thirty-seven to Forty-one).
This is the OUT RESURRECTION OF THE
SAINTED DEAD
| 2. The mighty contrast-Verses Forty-two to
| Forty nine:
CD A corruptbe, putrefying, foul-smelling
| is raised up.
(2) A dishonorable body is sown: an honor
able all-glorious body is raised up, direct
copy or likeness of the body of Glory which
| Jesus the Christi now possesses philippians
