Chapter 8.—Of Christ’s Coming to
Judgment.
15. We believe also, that at the
most seasonable time He Will Come from Thence,
and Will Judge the Quick and the Dead: whether by these
terms are signified the righteous and sinners, or whether it be the
case that those persons are here called the quick, whom at
that period He shall find, previous to [their] death,1586
| 1586 The text gives simply ante
mortem. Some editions insert nostram = previous to our
death. | upon the
earth, while the dead denote those who shall rise again at
His advent. This temporal dispensation not only is, as holds
good of that generation which respects His being God, but also
hath been and shall be. For our Lord hath been upon the
earth, and at present He is in heaven, and [hereafter] He shall
be in His brightness as the Judge of the quick and the dead.
For He shall yet come, even so as He has ascended, according to the
authority which is contained in the Acts of the Apostles.1587
It is in
accordance with this temporal dispensation, therefore, that He
speaks in the Apocalypse, where it is written in this wise:
“These things saith He, who is, and who was, and who is to
come.”1588
