Fox myself, I have read a good deal of what has been written on this subject—of course, not perhaps a hundredth part of what has been written; but I found one passage of Scripture which so quietly and explicitly settled the whole question forever for my own soul, that I would like to send it to you for your thoughtfulness also. It was this: that in Revelation 20, where the scene of final judgment is foretold, God waits till the thousand years are expired, before the last temptation of the unsaved on earth, and the last judgment is set for the final doom of the wicked. Then He raises them. But they are raised in God’s eternity, and not in time at all. If they were raised in time, there might be something urged; but, when raised in God’s eternity, time is then no more; and what is raised in eternity cannot cease to exist in time, for it has passed away, and what happens in eternity is, and must be, eternal. The existence of the wicked, raised for, and receiving then their doom, remains while eternity rolls on. What think you of this?
