with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 51 And, behold, the veil of the
temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did

bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53 And came out of the graves
after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto
many.

and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:
1 Cor 15:21-23 For since by man came death,
by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die,
even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But every man in his own
order: Christ the firstfruits;
afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might
fill all things.)

cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to
reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. 16 And he that sat on the cloud
thrust in his sickle on the earth;
and the earth was reaped. (SEE ALSO Matt. 24)
