Resurrection Of The Body
Definition
Tertullian’s eschatology: at the end of the world the saints and martyrs rise first and reign with Christ in the heavenly Jerusalem that descends from heaven; after 1,000 years comes the general resurrection and Last Judgment, with eternal life for the righteous and eternal torment for the impenitent, the fire of hell destroying bodies while restoring them to endless torment.
