Chapter 12– Closing Scenes
Saviour, but died without the sight, should
be raised a little before, to witness the scenes
attending his glorious epiphany; as, in like
manner, a goodly company came out of their
graves after his resurrection, to behold his
risen glory (Matthew 27:52, 53), and to escort
him in triumph to the right hand of the throne
of the majesty on high (Ephesians 4:8,
margin); and also that some, eminent in
wickedness, who have done most to reproach
the name of Christ and injure his cause, and
especially those who secured his cruel death
upon the cross, and mocked and derided him
in his dying agonies, should be raised, as part
of their judicial punishment, to behold his
return in the clouds of heaven, a celestial
victor, in, to them, unendurable majesty and
splendor.
