To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Millenarians give us fearful representations of the forbidding and terrific nature of death even to Christians at present, and of the imperfect and defective happiness of their disembodied spirits. They talk of the state betwixt death and the re- surrection "as a state of longing expectation, not a state of perfect blessedness — a state of desire, not a state of rest — a state of weakness and waiting for power. " See Irving's Pre. Dis. Pp. 55, 61, 115, 116.
But however far it may be inferio...r to the state which succeeds the resurrection; we know that it is far superior to our present condition. It se- cures to the believer the possession of what con- stitutes the perfection of his blessedness; his pres- ence with Christ, and his view of his Redeemer's glory. "To depart, and to be with Christ, is 05 far better. " "We are confident, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and present with the Lord. " But if now, when death introduces us into the immediate presence of Christ, and the general as- sembly and church of the first-born; into the joy of our Lord ; where we shall see him as he is ; walk with him in white; be made exceedingly glad in the light of his countenance; and, behold- ing openly his glory, be changed into the same image from glory to glory: if notwithstanding all this, these gentlemen regard death as so irksome, painful, and revolting; what language can express its horrors, when during the personal reign of Christ on earth, it shall tear the inhabitants of the world away from the place of his bodily resi- dence, and send them into the place of departed spirits ?
