I Come to the Description of the Person who shall appear, who is described by a Title of Power, and a Title of Mercy and Love: because in Christ's Person there is Greatness and Goodness mixed; for he is called the great God; there is his Attribute of Power and Majesty: and then there is a comfortable Name and Title, Our Saviour. That both these Titles do belong to the same Person, the Fathers have abundantly proved against the Arians. In the Original there is but one Article, [Greek or Hebrew], that great God and our Saviour. We have just such another Expression, 1 Cor. 15.24. He shall deliver up the Kingdom to that God and Father, [Greek or Hebrew], (that is) to God even the Father. So here the great God and Saviour (that is) the God that is the Saviour. Besides, there is another Argument that the Words must be referred to the same Person, because it is never said any where the Father doth appear, but only Jesus Christ, and therefore the Appearance of the great God must needs be applied to Jesus Christ.
