The teaching quoted from the Confession thrills me. We were taught a premillenialism which I am not sure is more historic, or dispensational (my parents learned it from dispensationalists, but afterwards read people like Robert Murray McCheyne). I am not sure if it was because we were not taught the doctrine, or because in my mind it became clouded over with the terror of the tribulation period and the beast, etc., but I never realized until after I was married and Ruben told me, that our bodies would be raised at all. I thought we would be some sort of unclothed spirit, that this would be achieved once for all at death, and that this shedding of our flesh was final sanctification. It did change my life to realize that our bodies are not inherently sinful, and that creation will be finally saved in Christ.

After two days, he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him.
Let us know; let us press on to know the LORD; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth.
