And to testify. To bear witness.

That it is he, Jn 5:22-27. Compare the references in the margin.

Of quick. The living. The doctrine of the New Testament is, that those who are alive when the Lord Jesus shall return to judge the world, shall be caught up in vast numbers like clouds, to meet him in the air, without seeing death, 1Thes 4:16,17. Yet before this, they shall experience such a change in their bodies as shall fit them for the judgment and for their eternal residence--a change which shall liken them to those who have died, and have been raised from the dead. What this change will be, speculation may fancy, but the Bible has not revealed. See 1Cor 15:52: "The dead shall be raised, and we shall be changed."

(d) "commanded us to preach" Mt 28:19,20 (e) "that it is he" Jn 5:22,27, Acts 17:31, 2Cor 5:10, 1Pet 4:5 (*) "quick" "living"
