“There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
20:27-38 It is common for those who design to undermine any truth of God, to load it with difficulties.

There are more worlds than one; a present visible world, and a future unseen world; and let every one compare this world and that world, and give the preference in his thoughts and cares to that which deserves them. Believers shall obtain the resurrection from the dead, that is the blessed resurrection. What shall be the happy state of the inhabitants of that world, we cannot express or conceive,
“O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.”
