As in Adam All Die

"As in Adam all die..." That is an established fact, there is no further speculation as to that. All die in Adam. If and except, the Lord comes suddenly before our span of life is ended, we will all die, we might just as well accept it, sooner or later, at God's appointed time.

And so in Christ shall all be made alive. ALL -- not only the righteous. But the unrighteous shall also have part in a resurrection - of damnation. It is completely an erroneous thought that death will ever conceal an individual from judgment; he will have it to face.

John writes he beheld the great white throne and they that stood before him small and great, and the books were opened, and they were judged according to their works, and those who were not found written in the book of life were cast into the lake of fire. We read there that the sea gave up the dead, and death gave up the dead, and hell gave up the dead, wherever they were spending this interval of time, they came forth, and will come forth out of their respective hideouts and they will have to apear in the presence of God who knows all things.

That is why life is so serious. That's why our mothers always have been so concerned that we not live in vain.
