1. As it is Descriptive; the Majesty, Power, and Authority of God over all are intended therein. The most High God is the Glorious God with whom is terrible Majesty. To Represent them it is said, That his Throne is High and lifted up, Isa. 6. 1. And he is called the High and Lofty one that Inhabiteth Eternity, Isa. 57. 17. Thus is he styled to fill our Hearts with a Reverence of him, as one infinitely above us, and whose Glorious Majesty is absolutely unconceivable. So when the Holy Ghost would express the Glory of Christ as exalted, he says, he is made Higher than the Heavens, and he is sate down at the Right hand of the Majesty on High. The most High God therefore is first, God as inconceivably exalted in Glory and Majesty. Again, his Power and Authority are also intended herein. The most High Ruleth over all, Dan. 4. 17. God over all in Power and Authority disposing of all things, is the most High God. So Abraham explains this Name, Gen. 14. 18.
