And therefore hee is called the King of nations for his universall jurisdiction Who would not feare thee O King of nations for greatnesse and power pertain to thee Jer. 10. 6 7. And Daniels witnesse is that all people nations and languages shall feare him his dominion is an everlasting dominion which shall not passe away and his Kingdome that which shall not be destroyed Dan. 7. 14. which in the last place shewes the eternity or perpetuity of the Kingdome and therefore the Apostle calls it The everlasting Kingdome of our Lord Jesus Christ 2 Pet. 1. 11. He shall raign saith the Angell over the house of Jacob for ever and of his Kingdome there shall be no end Luke 1. 33. And this glorious kingdome of Christ is often in Scripture term'd a world without end under these terms everlasting life everlasting kingdome c. The people of God that formerly were and now are refused contemned and cast off from the thoughts and estimations of others shall then in that day be made a strong nation and the Lord himself shall raign over them in mount Sion from henceforth even for ever saith the Prophet Mic. 4. 7. The next and third particular to be considered is the throne of the Kingdome of Christ And for that wee have the Angels testimony also And the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David Luk. 1. 32. And againe Thy throne O God is a throne of righteousnesse established for ever and ever Psal. 45. 6.

And againe the third time His seed shall endure for ever and his throne as the Sun before me ver. 36. What moves the holy Prophet thus three times to make mention of the King the throne and thy seed that is Gods children by regeneration thus to sing and rejoyce in the remembrance of them together but for to shew us this holy truth that the Saints shall reigne with their King that the Saints shall judge the world for this blessed comfort the Lord preaches to his children himself by his own mouth Rev. 2. 26 27. He that evercometh and keepeth my words unto the end to him will I give power over the Nations and he shall rule them with a rod of iron c. And I will grant to him to sit with me in my throne even as I also overcame and am set down with my father in his Throne Chap. 3. 21. And thus taught he his blessed Apostles that followed him in the regeneration as St. Matthew saith and had participated and continued with him in his sufferings and temptations as Luke hath it I appoint unto you a kingdome saith our Lord as my Father hath appointed unto me that yee may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdome and sit on thrones judging the twelve Tribes of Israel Mat. 19. 28. Luke 22. 29 30. yea this honour have all the Saints with the King in the Kings Throne Oh yee Saints praise yee the Lord Psal. 149. 9. The fourth particular is the Scepter of this kingdome and that the Holy Ghost calls a Scepter of righteousnesse Heb. 1. 8. a Scepter of righteousness or righteousnesses that is righteous in the purity and excellency of it is the Scepter of thy Kingdome this is properly Shilohs the Saviours Scepter Gen. 49. 10. Yet such is the Kings grace to his servants his seed Church and people that of this which in particular belongs to himself alone even of this also doth hee communicate to his little ones his first-born the heirs of salvation not only to sit with him in his Throne but also to rule with his Scepter The womans childe which are the Saints saith the Text are to rule even as their Lord himself doth all nations with a rod of iron that is with the Scepter of righteousnesse Rev. 12. 5.
