For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not precede them who are asleep.

AD 1849

With commandment. God's command will in a moment raise and bring all to judgment. And the dead, who are in Christ, in the grace of Christ, shall rise first, not as to time, but in dignity. (Witham) Shall rise first. Not in order of time, for all shall rise in the twinkling of an eye, but first in order of dignity. St. Chrysostom, however, thinks that the elect rise before the reprobate, to go before the Lord; whereas the latter shall come behind him, only to appear before the tribunal of justice. (St. Chrysostom)
