The Fountain of Life Opened

Christ enthroned in the highest glory in Heaven is there to abide for the effectual and successful government both of the World and of the Church, until the number given him by the Father before the World was, and purchased by the blood of the Cross be gathered in; and then cometh the Judgement of the great day, which will perfectly separate the precious from the vile; put the redeemed in full possession of the purchase of his blood in Heaven, and then shall he deliver up the Kingdom to his Father, that God may be all in all.

CHrist enthroned in the highest glory in Heaven is there to abide for the effectual and successful government both of the World and of the Church, untill the number given him by the Father before the World was, and purchased by the blood of the Cross be gathered in; and then cometh the Judgement of the great day, which will perfectly separate the pretious from the vile; put the redeemed in full possession of the purchase of his blood in Heaven, and then shall he deliver up the Kingdom to his Father, that God may be all in all.

This last act of Christ, namely his Judging the world is a special part of his Exaltation and honour, bestowed upon him ⟨p. 589⟩because he is the Son of man, Joh. 5.27. In that day shall his glory as King, and absolute Lord, shine forth as the Sun when it shineth in its strength. O what an honour will it be to the man Christ Jesus,¹ who stood arraigned and condemned at Pilates bar; to sit upon the great white Throne, surrounded with thousands and ten thousands of Angels! Men and Devils waiting upon him to receive their final Sentence from his mouth. In this will the glory of Christs Sovereignty and power be eminently and illustriously displayed, before Angels and men. And this is that great truth, which He commanded to be Preached and testified to the people; namely, that it is he which is ordained of God, to be the Judge of quick and dead.
