Verse 2

Waiting for response for Malachi 4:2

God declares he will raise all those who are responsible to his judgment: some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt (Daniel 12:2),Waiting for response for Daniel 12:2 the one class being made immortal and the other condemned to the second death (Revelation 21:8).Waiting for response for Revelation 21:8 Most of God's people are dead, but when Christ returns, he will arise like the sun in the morning v.2Waiting for response for Malachi 4:2 and his healing beams will cause the earth to cast out her dead just as the dew arises in the sun’s heat. This is a very appropriate figure of the resurrection of the saints for the dew is not seen during the night, but at dawn it rises in the atmosphere and reappears at the dew point as clouds. Thus the saints are now unseen in the earth and their resurrection at Christ’s return will also be unseen until they appear with him in the political heavens as “clouds” (Mark 14:62).Waiting for response for Mark 14:62
