Ongoing Resurrection
Until the End of the World
“This simple resurrection,
if accompanied by self-denial and by growth in he grace and
knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,” will, in the
fullness of time, raise us up “unto the measure of the stature of
the fullness of Christ.”

"As we understand it, Paul
is describing the resurrection of men dead in trespasses and sins,
not only of his own generation but of all the succeeding generations
until the last man that will rise has risen from a natural into a
spiritual or from a mortal to an immortal state." |
"And in
the same generation in which "He had offered one sacrifice for sins
forever," He came the second time and fulfilled the words of the One Hundred
and Tenth Psalm and made His enemies His footstool"
(On the Last Days)
"Not many years
intervened between the great outpouring of the spirit and
the great declension that followed. Finally "the last
days" with the spiritual night came to an end, and we are
now living in God's eternal day. "The night is far
spent," said Paul, "and the day is at hand." (p. 48)
(On
Christ's Second Coming)
"And in the same generation in which "He had offered one sacrifice for sins
forever," He came the second time and fulfilled the words of the One Hundred
and Tenth Psalm and made His enemies His footstool" (p. 20)
(On the Heavens and Earth)
"If it could only be understood that the heaven and earth that were
destined to pass away and be superseded by a new heaven and a
new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness, was the old imperfect and
temporary covenant, with its sacrifices that could not take away
sins, and the unbelievers of a crooked and perverse nation who not
only rejected the words of Jesus and His apostles, but persecuted
those who believed on Him ; and that these were destined to give
place to the new, perfect and eternal covenant with a sacrifice that
puts away sin, and a personal and witnessing spirit ; and that there
would be "an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people
for God's own possession," then the harmony and beauty of the
Scriptures concerning these things will begin to appear, and the new
heaven and the new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness, will not
seem so vague and far away." (p. 56)
(On the
Resurrection)
"When divested of
literalism, the resurrection of the dead is most beautiful,
even more beautiful than the lilly of the valley or the rose
of Sharon, for in the fulness of time the resurrected one is
transformed into the likeness of the "King in his beauty,"
"transformed into the same image from glory to glory."
(p.95)
ISAAC T. MORRIS, his parents and siblings
came into Indiana. The weather got bad and I guess they were
in a wagon. People living around RockPort, Indiana took them
into their home for the winter. My family went on to
someplace. Their father was so mean that ISAAC went back to
the people who took them in, lived with them until he built
his own log cabin.
He married ELIZA ANN KUNS and they lived in a log cabin in
White County just out of Cass County. Their daughter kept
house for her 2 brothers, Marion and Earl. Grandpa ISAAC T.
died in 1888 6 weeks after my grandfather, ISAAC LEROY, was
born. I have been in the log cabin many times. It's still
there altho covered with a stick house.
I found an old census listing MOSES, wife, MARTHA, and
several children, all girls except one a twin, ISAAC with
birth date same as the one I have for him. Trouble is the
family story, which isn't necessarily accurate, says there
were only boys in ISAAC T'S family.
