Luke20:38

38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

See the Notes on Matth. 22.23. &c. and on Mark 11.18, &c. where all the passages in this piece of History are fully opened. By equal with the Angels, in v. 36▪ we must not understand in all things, but in the thing mentioned; the number of the Elect shall be perfect; so there shall be no need of Marrying, or giving in Marriage, to multiply the number of Men. 2. There shall be no more Marriages amongst Men, than amongst Angels, v. 38. All live unto God. Tho Abraham, Isaac, and Iacob, were dead at the speaking of those words, yet they were not so in Gods Eye, who was determined to raise them up in the last Day, and who with the same Eye beholds things past, present, and to come. But see more in the Notes before mentioned.
