Reas. 3. There must be a day of judgement that so Jesus Christ, the son of God may be glorified before all men and Angels. For Christ is the person whom God the Father has appointed to be the Judge of the World. Act. 17.31. He hath appointed a day in the which he will judge the world in righteousness, by that man whom He hath ordained, whereof he hath given assurance to all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead Christ's Resurrection is an evidence of this. His Exaltation began in his Resurrection: we ⟨p. 82⟩may from thence conclude that the last degree of His Exaltation▪ which is in His sitting to judge the world at the great Day, will in the appointed time take place. It is said concerning Joshua, (who in that as well as in many other respects was a Type of Christ) On that day the Lord magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel. Chapt. 4.14. So on the Day of Judgement, God will magnify His Son Jesus Christ in the sight of all the world. God will have all the world to know, that His Son •s more than a man; that the honour due to God shall be given to him. Therefore hath He made Him the Judge of all. Joh. 5.22, 23. The Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgement to his Son, that all men should honour the son, even as they honour the Father •her. Moreover, Christ will come to judge the world in greatest State, Majesty and Glory that ever was, or that can be conceived. Mat. 24.30. They shall see the Son of man coming in power and in great GLORY. Hence His second Coming is called His glorious appearance, Tit. 2.13. He will command an Herald to blow the Trumpet, and to summon all the world to appear before Him; and this Herald shall be no less than an Angel, yea an Arch-Angel, 1. Thes. 4.16. For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the the ⟨p. 83⟩voice of the Arch-Angel and with the trump of God. A most glorious Retinue will then attend and wait upon Him. All the Angels in heaven shall come down from thence to wait upon the Son of God in that Day, Mat▪ 25.31. The Son of man shall come in his glory and all the holy Angels with Him. Hence Daniel in his Vision of the Day of Judgement, beheld a Thousand Thousand ministering to Him, and ten Thousand times ten Thousand stood before him. Yea, and all the Saints in heaven shall come down from thence to wait upon the blessed Son of God. 1. Thes. 3▪13.
