Hi, Frank... I think I focussed too narrowly on the resurrection in my original answer. Pardon me for being too hasty. Looking more specifically -- as you asked -- about the phrase "at the last day" I would still point to Revelation 20. Specifically, regarding the Puritans, I find consistent references to the phrase as speaking of the day on which will occur the consummation of God's work of redemption in judgment. Consequently, I think the answer to your second question would be yes, for the following reasons: Firstly, John Calvin affirms this (also citing Augustine), so we would not be surprised to find the Puritans close behind. Secondly, I find the same arguments in Thomas Brooks, John Bunyan, Stephen Charnock, and William Guthrie. I also find the same idea expressed by Jonathan Edwards... but then, he would be considered an American Puritan. By the way, investing in "The Puritan Hard Drive" is worth it, if you are interested in the many volumes from those "being dead yet speak." In Him, Doc |
