248. And it came to pass, as _they were burying a man_, that behold, they spied a band of men, and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, _and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet_. 2 Kings xiii. 21.
249. Marvel not at this; for the hour is coming in the which _all that are in the graves shall hear his voice_. John v. 28.
250. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump, (for the _trumpet_ shall sound) and the _dead shall be raised incorruptible_, and we shall be changed. 1 Corinth xv. 52.
251. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven _with a shout_, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we which are alive and remain, shall be _caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air_; and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 1 Thessa. iv. 16, 17.
252. And I saw the _dead_, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, _and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them_; and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. Rev. xx. 12, 13, 14.
253. For I am he that _liveth and was dead;_ and behold I am alive for ever more. Amen; _and have the keys of hell and of death_. Rev, i. 18..
254. But Mary stood without at the sepulchre, weeping; and as she wept she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre. _And seeth two angels in white, sitting_ the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. _And they say unto her_, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, _and saw Jesus standing_, and knew not that it was Jesus. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? she, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus saith unto her, Mary, she turned herself, and said unto him, Rabboni, which is to say Master. John xx, 11 to 16.
