2. The setting them in their places. Now the vilest men are exalted, and the most virtuous debased, but then it shall be otherwise. And then he shall set the Sheep on his right hand, and the Goats on his left, vers. 33. Here the Godly are set in low places on foot-stools, the Wicked in high places, on Thrones: But there the Godly shall be honoured, and the Wicked disgraced. The right hand is a place of the greatest honour. To sit at a Kings right hand, is the highest Seat next him. To sit on King Solomon's right hand, was the honour he gave his Mother, 1 King. 2.19. To sit at the right hand of God, is peculiar to Christ, whom he hath honoured and exalted above Principalities and Powers. To ⟨p. 7⟩which of the Angels said he at any time, sit thou on my right hand, Ephes. 20.21. Heb. 1.13. And to sit on the right hand of Christ will be the honour of his Spouse, his Queen. At thy right hand was the Queen in Gold of Ophir, Psal. 45.9. They who are now placed at the left hand of earthly Princes, will then be placed at the right hand of the King of Kings, of the blessed and glorious Potentate; and they who are now placed at Kings right hands, will be placed at Christs left hand.
