John Trapp on Matthew 28:4

Verse 4. The keepers did shake] And well they might, as coming to see they had born armes against God, and were therefore obnoxious to his wrath. It is a fearfull thing to fall into the punishing hands of the living God here: How then will wicked men bear the horrour of the last day? When they shall have an angry God over them, hell gaping beneath them, an accusing conscience within them, the world all on a light fire about them, the elements melting like scalding lead upon them, the good Angels testifying against them, Job 20. 27. the evil Angels waiting to worry them, and hurry them to hell? Oh the unspeakable akings and quakings of heart! the terrible apprehensions, the convulsions of spirit that shall ceize and surprize them at that dreadfull day!
