4. They always attend his Throne. Isa. 6.1, 2. I saw the Lord upon his throne, and about it stood the Seraphims; This Isaiah spake of him, when he saw his glory, Joh. 12.39, 40. He was upon his Throne, when he spake with the Church in the wilderness, Act. 7.38. that is, in Mount Sinai; where the Angels attending him as on Chariots, ready to receive his commands, were twenty thousands, even thousands of Angels, Psal. 68.19. Ephes. 4.8. or thousand thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand, as another Prophet expresseth it, Dan. 7.10. And so he is in the Church of the New Testament, Rev. 5.11. and from his walking in the midst of his golden Candlesticks, Rev. 1.13. are the Angels also present in Church Assemblies, as attending their Lord and Master, 1 Cor. 11.10. And so attended shall he come to Judgment, 2 Thess. 1.7. when he shall be revealed from heaven with the Angels of his power; which was fore-told concerning him from the beginning of the world, Jude 7, 8.
Thus his Lordship over Angels is Universal and absolute, and their subjection unto him answerable thereunto. The manner of the Grant of this excellency, power and dignity unto him, must be further cleared in the opening of these words of the Apostle, [Greek or Hebrew] Being made better than the Angels; the original right and equity of this Grant, with the ends of it, are now only to be intimated.
