Is our Lord and Saviour Christ a King? and as a King, does He Over-come, and subdue Satan? and our lusts? and the world?1 So do the Saints too. This is your Victory whereby ye Over-come the world, even your Faith. As a King, Does he, Over-come, and sit down in His Throne? So do they too: In the 3. of the Revelations, and the 21. verse: To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my Throne; even as I also overcame, and am set down with My Father in His Throne. (Mark I pray;) Christ hath a Throne on Earth: (Says He) As Lovercame, and am set down with my Father in His Throne in Heaven: So those that overcome shall sit down; That is,2 have Communion. Many shall come from the East, and from the West; and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac: ⟨p. 121⟩That is, have Communion with them. So here, To him that overcomes, will I grant to sit down with me in my Throne: They shall have Communion with Jesus Christ in his Throne. As a King, does the Lord Jesus Christ Rule the Nations, 3and break them in pieces with a rod of iron? So shall the Saints do in their generation, and in their way. Look I pray into the 2d of the Revelation, the 26. verse: And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end; To him will I give power over the Nations. And he shall rule them with a rod of iron: (Mark) And he shall rule them with a rod of iron: As the vessel of a potter shall they be broken to shivers, even as I received of my Father. He does not say, Even as I received this Doctrine of my Father, but as I (which you read of in the second Psalm) received this Power from my Father: they shall communicate with me in this Power: Even as I received of my Father, So shall they receive it; they shall have Communion with Him in this.
