In the resurrection there is already wrapped up a judging-process, at least for believers: the raising act in their case, together with the attending change, plainly involves a pronouncement of vindication. The resurrection does more than prepare its object for undergoing the judgement; it sets in motion and to a certain extent anticipates the issue of judgement for the Christian. And it were not incorrect to offset this by saying that the judgement places the seal on what the believer has received in the resurrection.

White in the moon the long road lies, The moon stands blank above; White in the moon the long road lies That leads me from my love.

But ere the circle homeward hies Far, far must it remove: White in the moon the long road lies That leads me from my love.

White in the moon the long road lies.
