I believe that they who have their part in this resurrection, shall meet the Lord in the air, and when the blessed sentence is pronounced upon them, they shall for ever be with the Lord in joys unspeakable and full of glory; God shall wipe all tears from their eyes; there shall be no fear or sorrow, no mourning or death, a friend shall never go away from thence, and an enemy shall never enter; there shall be fulness without want, light eternal brighter than the sun; day, and no night; joy, and no weeping; difference in degree, yet all full; there is love without dissimulation, excellency without envy, multitudes without confusion, music without discord; there the understandings are rich, the will is satisfied, the affections are all love, and all joy, and they shall reign with God and Christ forever and ever. Amen."
