Coming for or with His Saints; Abram’s Age; Spirit Dwelling With You

Question: 1 Cor. 4:5. Does this verse refer to the Lord’s coming for or with His saints? M.
Answer: The Lord comes and receives the saints to Himself for the Father’s house. As the last act before the marriage Supper (Rev. 19), the bride gets herself ready; which appears to point to that manifestation of the glorified before Christ’s bema or judgment-seat, as the result of which each shall receive according to what he did by the body as an instrument. Then follows, after the bridal supper, the appearing before the world.
