Prop. I That both a Iudiciary and a Regal Power does belong unto the Lord Iesus Christ.
1 A Judiciary Power. They that Sit on Seats of Judicature are said to Sit on Thrones. Rev. 20▪ 1 There were Thrones, and they sat on them, and Judgment was given to them, that is to say, Power of Judging was given to them. Thus Christ said to his Apostles, Mat. 19.28. You shall sit upon twelve Thrones judging the ⟨p. 100⟩Tribes of Israel. And thence in that expression in the Scripture, of the Throne of Judgment. But thus is it most true concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, that he has a Judiciary Power granted to him, and such a Power of Judgment as none else in the world has, Joh 5.22. The Father judges no man, but hath committed all judgment to the Son When it is said the Father judges no man, the meaning of it is, that he does not immediately judge, but by his Son Jesus Christ. The Father judgeth no man without him, but all men by him. Christ […] sometimes represented in the Scripture as Sitting on a Throne in respect of those Temporal Judgments which he does cause to be Executed on men in this World, Ezek 1.26. The Prophet in a Vision beheld a Throne, and a man sitting on it; The Design of that Vision is to intimate that the Lord Jesus […] had p•ssed a Sentence of Destruction on the Jews, and that he had commanded the Babylonians to be the Executioners of his Wrath upon them; but especially Christ is represented as sitting on a Throne, on the account of the Sentence of Judgment which he will pass on all men at the Last Day.
1 A Iudiciary Power. They that Sit on Seats of Iudicature are said to Sit on Thrones.
