RESURRECTION. Job 14.12. Man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. 13. O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! 14. If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. 15. Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.

Job 19.25. I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: 26. And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: 27.

Dan. 12.2. Many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 13. Go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

Hos. 13.14. I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction.

Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 38. For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living for all live unto him. Mat. 22.30-32. Mar. 12.25-27.

It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

If so be that being clothed, we shall not be found naked. 4.

RESURRECTION. BY CHRIST AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. Jno. 5.21. As the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. 25.

The hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29.
