3. The Glory of that Throne which the Man Christ Jesus does in Heaven sit upon appears, in the Universal Extent of his Dominion Psal. 103.19 The Lord has prepared his Throne in the Heavens, his Kingdom ruleth over all. The Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ it ruleth over […]. He hath a Dominion in all places of the World, Psal 135 6 The Lord hath done what […] pleaseth in H••ven and on Earth, and in all […] places. No place can be mentioned but […] does what he pleases there. He is the Lord […] the Universe. He is the Universal Monarch ⟨p. 106⟩over all Nations, Jer. 10 7. Who would not fear thee, O thou King of Nations? The Lord Jesus Christ is indeed in a singular manner the King of his Church, and is therefore styled the King of Israel, and the King of Saints; but he is also the King of Nations. Yea, he has a Dominion over all Creatures whatsoever. He is Lord of all, and therefore has that Title of the Lord of Hosts given to him, Psal 24.10 Who is this King of Glory? The Lord of Hosts, he is the King of Glory: The huge host of Creatures are under his Dominion. All the host of Creatures in the Upper & the Lower World; all Creatures, whether Visible or Invisible, they are under the Dominion of this King of Glory. And although his Dominion does not yet appear to the World, it is not yet acknowledged by all men in this World; nevertheless, he has now a right to this Dominion. The man Christ Jesus has so; and the Day is a coming when all the m•n in the World shall believe and confess it; there is not one man that is, ever shall be, or that ever was, but shall believe it Heb. 2 8, 9 We do not yet see all things under his feet, put in subjection to him; but we see Jesus •rowned with honour and glory And the Apostle in that Context says, that the World to come shall be put in subjection to him In the Resurrection World, which is the World to c•me, all mankind will believe this glorious Truth.
