5. FROM THENCE HE SHALL COME TO JUDGE THE QUICK AND THE DEAD. At the end
of the world Christ will come again visibly, [Mark 13:26+] suddenly, and
unexpectedly, [Matt. 24:36-42, Luke 21:27] with power and great glory,
to judge both the quick (living) and the dead. [II Cor. 5:10+, Matt.
25:31-46] He will separate the believing from the unbelieving; receive
the believers unto Himself; and cast the impenitent and unbelieving into
outer darkness and torment. His coming will fill the believers with joy,
[Luke 21:28] and the unbelievers with dismay. [Rev. 6:15-17] No one
knows or can compute the exact time of His coming. We should be always
ready. [Matt. 24:42, 44+] His coming will be preceded by signs. [Luke
21:25-26] The present order of the world shall pass away; [II Pet. 5:10]
and there shall be new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth
righteousness. [II Pet. 3:13+]
