SCEPTRED KING, king of kings and Lord of Lords, Rev. 19. 16. He came out of Jacob and rofe out of Ifrael. For, the Lord raised up that prophet from the midst of his brethren, Deut. 18. 15; and the glorious one of Ifrael fhall be of him, and the governor fhall proceed from the midst of him, Jer. 30. 21, who is over all, God bleffed for ever; but from the fathers as concerning the flesh, Rom. 9. 5.

The Mef- XLIII. The works afcribed to him are these two ift. The fmiting [breaking] of the fides or corners of the cor- Moab. That is, the fubduing of thofe, who were

ners of Moab.

before fworn enemies to himself and his church. And that two ways, either by grace, when, by his word and fpirit, he fubdues them to the obedience of faith, fo that they willingly fubmit to his fceptre, cafting down every high thing, that exalteth itfelf against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Chrift, 2 Cor. 10 5. Or, in a way of justice and vengeance, when he fubdues the obftitate and forces them, however unwillingly, to acknow ledge his power and fupereminence, breaking them with a rod of iron, defbing them in pieces like a patter's veffel, Pf. 2. 9. But the Moabites are here mentioned as an inftance; because Balaam was, at that time, principally concerned with them. 2dly. The destruction of all the children of Seth. This fignifies his triumph over all men, whom he fhalt fubdue to himself, either by his grace, or by his righteous vengeance. Because all men in the world are propagated from Seth; while the progeny of Cain, and of the other fons of Adam, perished in the deluge. From Seth, Noah defcended; and all mankind from Noah: fo that we are all the children of Seth. But we shall all be made fubject to Chrift, who shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father: when he shall have put down all rule, and authority and power, 1 Cor. 15.

24.

The time XLIV. In the last place, he fhews the time and nature nature of Chrift's kingdom; when Ifrael Shall do

valiantly

valiantly, against his enemies, by fhaking off the of Chrift's tyrannical yoke of Antiochus and others: when Edom, kingdom." and Seir a noted mountain of Idumea, fhall become the poffeffion of Ifrael, which happened under the fecond temple, when the Idumeans were fubdued, and, fubmitting to circumcifion and the other Jewish rites, were added to the republick of Ifrael: as not only Jofephus, but allo Strabo relates, Geogr. lib. 16; they joined themselves to the Jews, and had laws in common with them. When, I fay, all these things fhall happen, out of Jacob shall come be, that shall have dominion namely, that great ruler, that mighty one of Jacob, Isa. 90. 16, whofe right it is, and I will give it him, Ezek. 21.27. He shall destroy him, that remaineth of the city. He will overthrow the city and all human power, which fhall make head against him, to the utmoft: for, he bringeth down them that dwell on high, the lofty city be layeth it low, he layeth it low, even to the ground, he bringeth it even to the duft. The foot fall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy. Ifa. 26. 5. 6. And thus we have carried down the doctrine of falvation in one continued feries to the times of Mofes.
