And he is said to be [Greek or Hebrew], heavenly, or from Heaven. This may have respect 1unto his work and effect, they are heavenly as opposed to carnal and earthly. But principally it regards his Mission by Christ after his Ascension into Heaven, Acts 2. 33. Being exalted and having received the Promise of the Father, he sent the Spirit. The Promise of him was, that he should be sent from Heaven, or from above, as God is said to be above, which is the same with Heavenly, Deut. 4. 39. 2 Chron. 5. 23. Job 31. 2, 8. Isa. 2. 2, 15. and chap. 45. 8. When he came upon the Lord Christ to anoint him for his work, the Heavens were opened, and he came from above, Matth. 3. 16. so Acts 2. 2. At his first coming on the Apostles, there came a sound from Heaven. Hence he is said to be [Greek or Hebrew], that is, to be [Greek or Hebrew], sent from Heaven, 1 Pet. 1. 12. Wherefore although he may be said to be Heavenly upon other accounts also, which therefore are not absolutely to be excluded, yet his being sent from Heaven by Christ, after his Ascension thither, and exaltation there, is principally here regarded. He therefore is this [Greek or Hebrew], the heavenly Gift here intended, though not absolutely, but with respect to an especial work.
