3768 — A Resurrection

By F. A. I.

Please explain these texts: Job 19: 25-28; 1 Cor. 15:36-46, 50-54.

F. A. I.

We do not know what there is about these passages which our inquirer wants explained. Very much could be said upon these scriptures. In fact almost a volume could be written upon them. And one might write a whole page in reply to the above question, and still miss the point that our correspondent had. The texts speak of the resurrection, and make that clear and emphatic. Job expected to see his Redeemer in the flesh. Out from his body of flesh he expected that his eyes would look upon his Redeemer in the last day. And Paul also declares this as strongly as words can,—that as Christ has risen, the dead will arise. And the righteous dead of which he especially speaks will come forth when Christ shall come the second time, clothed with immortality, there to enjoy Him forever. And when the righteous rise from the dead immortal, the living righteous will be changed, and together will they be caught up to meet their Lord in the air. If we have not met our inquirer's desire, he must be more definite.
