Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 17:31

31 Because he hath appointed a day in the which he will judge the world in righteousness, by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

That God will judge the world, his enemies have with trembling acknowledged; but when God will judge the world, he hath conceal'd it from his friends; yet the time is already set, Psal 96.13. 2 Cor. 5.10. and we ought to be daily prepared for it.

Shall not the Judge of all the world do right?

Our blessed Saviour, called here man, suitably to his death and resurrection which St. Paul Preached of, as also as man he is thus highly exalted for his debasing of himself for our sakes, Ph[illegible: 1 letter]l. 2.9, 10, 11.

An undeniable proof or argument, it being so difficult a matter to believe a world to come, when we see all things remain as they did in this world; and especially to believe▪ that in the general judgment, Christ whom they had Judged, Condemned and Executed, should be Judge: God therefore did glorify him, by raising him from the dead, that they and we might not be faithless, but believe, Rom. 1.4.
