A47131	The Christian Quaker: or, George Keith's eyes opened Good news from Pensilvania. Containing a testimony against that false and absurd opinion which some hold, viz. that all true believers and saints, immediately after the bodily death attain to all the resurrection they expect, and enter into the fullest enjoyment of happiness. And also, that the wicked, immediately after death, are raised up to receive all the punishment they are to expect. Together with a scriptural account of the resurrection of the dead, day of judgment, and Christ's last coming and appearance without us. Also, where, and what those Heavens are into which the man Christ is gone, and entred into. By George Keith.	Keith, George, 1639?-1716.	1693 (1693)	Wing K153; ESTC R219221	10,576	12

of Soul and Body came upon him and his Posterity as is at large demonstrated in another Treatise of G. K's and by Christ's Death and Resurrection to all who sincerely believe in him and obey him that twofold Death is removed the Death of the Soul thrô Faith in him and that inward quickning and being raised with him who is the Resurrection and the Life now in the mortal State but the Death of the Body at the Resurrection of the Dead see this twofold Resurrection the one of the Soul the other of the Body expresly mentioned John 5. 25 28. And who say That the Faithful immediately after Death receive the Resurrection of the Body and all that fulness of Glory and Happiness that they are to expect for ever As it doth tend to overthrow a principal Article of the Christian Faith touching the Resurrection of the Dead so it tendeth to overthrow that other great and principal Article of the Christian Faith touching the Great Day of Judgment that is to be in the End of the World called in Scripture The last Day and The great Day and That Day by way of Distinction from other Days and which is frequently mentioned in Scripture for even the fallen Angels have not as yet received their final Sentence and full and absolute Punishment but are reserved in Chains of Darkness unto the Judgment of the great Day Jude 6. compared with 2. Pet. 2. 4. And Mat. 7. 22. Many will say re me in That Day Lord Lord have not we prophesied in thy Name c. And 2 Thess 1. 7 8 9 10. When the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from Heaven with his mighty Angels in flaming Fire taking vengeance on them that know not God and obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ who shall be punished with everlasting Destruction from the Presence of the Lord and from the Glory of his Power when he shall come to be glorified in his Saints and to be admired in all them that believe because our Testimony among you was believed in That Day Note well these words In That Day Again Acts 17. 31. Because he hath appointed a Day in the which he will judg the World in Righteousness by that MAN whom he hath ordained having offered Faith as the Greek and Margent of the English Bibles hath it unto all Men in that he hath raised him from the Dead And ver 32. And when they heard of the Resurrection of the Dead some mocked and others said We will hear thee again of this Matter And these were some Philosophers of the Epicureans and the Stoicks to which this Doctrine of the Resurrection of the Body seemed strange And so great an Article and Doctrine of the Christian Faith was this of the Resurrection that Paul calleth it The Hope of the Promise made of God unto the Fathers as plainly appeareth comparing Acts 26. v. 6. with v. 8. Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you that God should raise the Dead And ver 22 23. Witnessing both to small and great saying none other things than those which the Prophets and Moses did say should come that Christ should suffer and be the first that should rise from the Dead c. Note these words where it plainly appeareth That none of the Saints deceased before Christ's Resurrection were raised from the Dead although their Souls and Spirits did go unto God For the Resurrection of the Dead as a general thing is joined with the great Day of Judgment when the Son of MAN shall come in the Glory of his Father accompanied with his holy Angels and shall fit upon the Throne of his Glory and before him shall be gathered all Nations and he shall separate them one from another as a Shepherd divideth his Sheep from the Goats and first appointeth the Reward of the Kingdom viz. in the full possession of it unto the Sheep which is the first Resurrection and then he passeth the Sentence of Condemnation to the everlasting Fire or Fire of Ages unto the Goats on the left hand that is the Resurrection of the Vnjust But if all Men both Good and Bad receive their final Sentence immediately after Death there is no occasion for a Day of Judgment in the end of the World for that is prevented by what cometh to pass both to Good and Bad immediately after Death according to this absurd Opinion But again as concerning that Great Day of Judgment to come wherein both the Righteous and the Wicked shall receive according to the Works done in the Body Christ doth plainly elsewhere declare as Mat. 24. 36. But of that Day and Hour knoweth no Man no not the Angels in Heaven but my Father only And Mark 3. 32. But of that Day and Hour knoweth no Man no not the Angels in Heaven neither the Son but the Father Which is to be understood of Christ the Son as Man to whom then it was not known The which Day and Hour cannot be the time immediately after Mens decease for though after Death there is a Judgment that followeth every one according to Heb. 9. 27. yet that is not the great and last Judgment nor Universal but Particular And of this last Day Christ said John 6. 40. And this is the Will of him that sent me that every one which seeth the Son and believeth on him may have everlasting Life and I will raise him up at the last Day Note He doth not say I will raise him up in the Body immediately after Death but in this last Day to wit in the End of the World And with a respect to this Martha made a good Confession of her Faith touching the Resurrection of the Dead saying I know that he shall rise again in the Resurrection at the last Day The which Christ doth not in the least contradict but opened a further Mystery unto her to wit That he was the Resurrection and the Life he that believeth in me though he were dead yet shall he live and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die And because he was the Resurrection viz. the Author of it therefore he could and would raise Lazarus her Brother from the Dead at that time which yet was not the Resurrection in the last Day for he was but raised at that time a mortal Man to die again And whereas he said He who believeth in me shall never die containeth a great and most comfortable Mystery to wit That neither the Souls nor the Bodies of true Believers strictly die their Souls sleep not but are awake and their Bodies tho they sleep die not their sleep is not the sleep of Death strictly taken And therefore Christ proved against the Sadduces the Resurrection of the Dead from the Words of God to Moses I am the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob and God is not the God of the Dead but the God of the Living and therefore nothing of Abraham was strictly dead or perished neither his Soul
