Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 14:12

12. So man lieth down , and riseth not , till the Heavens be no more , they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their Sleep.

To wit, in his Bed, the Grave, or to sleep the sleep of Death▪ as this Phrase is used, Gen. 46. 30. Deut. 31. 16. 2 Sam. 7. 12. 1 Kin. 1. 21.

To wit, to this Life: For he speaks not here of the Life to come, nor of the Resurrection of the Body after death by the divine Power; of his belief whereof he giveth sufficient evidences in divers places.

i. e. Either 1. Never; because the Heavens, though they shall be changed in their Qualities, yet shall never cease to be as to the Substance of them. And therefore everlasting and unchangeable things are expressed by the duration of the Heavens; of which see Psal. 72. 5, 7, 17. & 89. 30, 36, 37. Mat. 5. 18. & 24. 35. Or 2. not until the time of the general Resurrection, and the restitution of things, when these visible Heavens shall pass away, and be no more, at least in the same form and manner as now they are: of which see Psal. 102. 26. Luk. 21. 33. 2 Pet. 3. 7, 10. Rev. 21. 1.
