It was Stephen's encouragement to the suffering of his Martyrdom, to see the Glory of God and Jesus standing on Gods right-hand, Acts 7. 55, 56. When John saw him on ⟨p. 218⟩the Lords Day in the spirit, he beheld his eyes as a flame of fire, and his feet like burning brass, in the furnace, and his voice was as the sound of many waters, and in his right-hand were the stars, and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and his countenance was as the Sun that shineth in his strength, Rev. 1. 14, 15, 16. His voice also did proclaim his Glory, I am the first and the last. I am he that liveth and was dead; and behold I am alive for evermore, Amen, and have the keys of Hell and of death, vers. 17, 18. It was the Lord of Glory that was crucified, 1 Cor. 2. 8. God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of Angels, preached to the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into Glory, 1 Tim. 3. 16. Where he is Glorified with the Father in the praises of the Saints, Rev. 5. 12, 13. The Glory in the Holy Mount was great at the giving of the Law: But it was no Glory to that of the Gospel administration, 2 Cor. 3. 7, 10 Much more, to that purpose of the Glorified Redeemer who hath overcome, and is set down with the Father in his throne, Rev. 3. 21. Yea the Glory that will be given to God for ever will be through Jesus Christ, Rom. 16. 17.
