This Ladder brings you to God,1 the Lord God is at the top of it.
- 1God on the top or above the Ladder.
1. He was the Contriver of this way; he made this Ladder, he prepared it.
2. He is above the Ladder, denoting tho Christ as Cod, is equal with the Father; yet as Man, or Considered as our Mediator, the Father is above him; My Father is above all, — my Father is greater than I.
3. God being also above it, it may denote that he upholds it by his eternal Counsel, and infinite Power.
