Barnes' Notes
And he commanded us ... - ; Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 16:15-16.
And to testify - To bear witness.
That it is he ... - See the notes on John 5:22-27. Compare the references in the margin.
Of quick - The living. The doctrine of the New Testament is, that those who are alive when the Lord Jesus shall return to judge the world, will be caught up in vast numbers like clouds, to meet him in the air, without seeing death, I Thessalonians 4:16-17. Yet before this they will experience such a change in their bodies as shall fit them for the judgment and for their eternal residence - a change which will liken them to those who have died, and have risen from the dead. What this change will be, speculation may fancy, but the Bible has not revealed. See I Corinthians 15:52, "The dead shall be raised, and we shall be changed."
