O knihe

Excerpt from The Great Texts of the Bible: Thessalonians to Hebrews

St. Paul, in the early part of his ministry, with all the Christian disciples, was looking for the speedy return of Jesus. And the question was raised, If it be so, if Jesus is coming to establish His Church, and we shall be with Him in His glory, then what of our brethren who have passed out of the world before us? This was the absorbing question. Mothers had lost their children, brothers had lost their brothers. One by one these had passed out of their eight. And those who remained said, What is to become of those who are taken away from us out of this visible world before Christ comes back here? St. Paul's answer was that they who remained and were alive should not prevent (go before) those who had passed away. Jesus would bring with Him those who had already died. He would go through the regions of the dead and bring back the souls that had once belonged to this world, and establish their lives. Thus those who had died and those whom Christ should find at His coming would be united and would dwell for ever with God.
