And now the point for investigation is, whether, when\r\nGod shall be all in all, the whole of bodily nature will, in\r\nthe consummation of all things, consist of one species, and\r\nthe sole quality of body be that which shall shine in the\r\nindescribable glory which is to be regarded as the future\r\npossession of the spiritual body. For if we rightly understand\r\nthe matter, this is the statement of Moses in the beginning\r\nof his book, when he says, “In the beginning God created\r\nthe heavens and the earth.”<a id=\"r765\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f765\"><sup>[765]</sup></a> For this is the beginning of\r\nall creation: to this beginning the end and consummation\r\nof all things must be recalled, <i>i.e.</i> in order that that heaven\r\nand that earth may be the habitation and resting-place of\r\nthe pious; so that all the holy ones, and the meek, may first\r\nobtain an inheritance in that land, since this is the teaching\r\nof the law, and of the prophets, and of the gospel. In which\r\nland I believe there exist the true and living forms of that\r\nworship which Moses handed down under the shadow of the\r\nlaw; of which it is said, that “they serve unto the example\r\nand shadow of heavenly things”<a id=\"r766\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f766\"><sup>[766]</sup></a>—those, viz., who were in\r\nsubjection in the law.
