I saw that the slave master will have to answer for the soul of his slave whom he has kept in ignorance; and the sins of the slave will be visited upon the master. God cannot take to heaven the slave who has been kept in ignorance and degradation, knowing nothing of God or the Bible, fearing nothing but his master's lash, and holding a lower position than the brutes. But He does the best thing for him that a compassionate God can do. He permits him to be as if he had not been, while the master must endure the seven last plagues and then come up in the second resurrection and suffer the second, most awful death. Then the justice of God will be satisfied.
The Bereaved
Selected Messages Book 2, p. 260
As the little infants come forth immortal from their dusty beds, they immediately wing their way to their mother's arms. They meet again nevermore to part. But many of the little ones have no mother there. We listen in vain for the rapturous song of triumph from the mother. The angels receive the motherless infants and conduct them to the tree of life.
God's People Delivered
The Great Controversy, p. 644
All come forth from their graves the same
in stature as when they entered the tomb. Adam, who stands among the risen
throng, is of lofty height and majestic form, in stature but little below
the Son of God. He presents a marked contrast to the people of later generations;
in this one respect is shown the great degeneracy of the race. But all
arise with the freshness and vigor of eternal youth. In the beginning,
man was created in the likeness of God, not only in character, but in form
and feature. Sin defaced and almost obliterated the divine image; but Christ
came to restore that which had been lost. He will change our vile bodies
and fashion them like unto His glorious body. The mortal, corruptible form,
devoid of comeliness, once polluted with sin, becomes perfect, beautiful,
and immortal. All blemishes and deformities are left in the grave. Restored
to the tree of life in the long-lost Eden, the redeemed will "grow up"
(Malachi 4:2) to the full stature of the race in its primeval glory. The
last lingering traces of the curse of sin will be removed, and Christ's
faithful ones will appear in "the beauty of the Lord our God," in mind
and soul and body reflecting the perfect image of their Lord. Oh, wonderful
redemption! long talked of, long hoped for, contemplated with eager anticipation,
but never fully understood.
