Summary
In the thirty-first lecture, Fr. Athanasios reads Revelation 6 alongside 2 Corinthians 5:4, Luke 21:17-18, 2 Maccabees 7:11, Hebrews 12:39-40, Hebrews 8:5, Exodus 25:9 and 25:40, and Romans 8:29 to explain the soul's longing for bodily resurrection. Against Platonic assumptions, Paul is presented as desiring not to be unclothed of the body but clothed with life, because the whole human person, soul and body, bears the image of God. The martyrs under the altar are said to cry not for vengeance but for resurrection, receiving white robes while they wait for the completion of their fellow servants. The Maccabean martyrdom, Christ's promise that not a hair shall perish, and John of Damascus's view of the image in the tomb all support the same bodily realism.
