Barnes' Notes
And before him ... - At his coming to judgment the world will be burned up, II Peter 3:10, II Peter 3:12; Revelation 20:11. The dead in Christ that is, all true Christians - will be raised up from their graves, I Thessalonians 4:16. The living will be changed - i. e., will be made like the glorified bodies of those that are raised from the dead, I Corinthians 15:52-54; I Thessalonians 4:17. All the wicked will rise and come forth to judgment, John 5:28-29; Daniel 12:2; Matthew 13:41-42; Revelation 20:13. Then shall the world be judged, the righteous saved, and the wicked punished.
And he shall separate ... - Shall determine respecting their character, and shall appoint them their doom accordingly.
