the songs of universal praise,-will the triumph of ? 8. The kingdom delivered the Conqueror of death and hell come to the throne to the Father. of the Father. He there presents the angelic hosts, -monuments of his goodness and power, and the redeemed,— trophies of his love,-all of whom, saints and angels, are elect of the Father, and beloved from everlasting. "Behold I and the children which thou hast given me." His angels are approved; his redeemed accepted; the Mediator of the covenant justified on its terms; and its finished work proclaimed. Then shall the Son also deliver up the kingdom to God even the Father. Not the throne of David; for that is his as David's Son. Not the sceptre of his grace, by which he is Prophet, Priest and King of his redeemed. That belongs to him as Head of the body,it was purchased by him at the price of his blood, and sealed to him in the eternal covenant. But he resigns that sceptre, that throne and headship over all things, which was given to him in the covenant, as the vicegerent, the image and revealer, of the invisible God, the Lord of all creatures on the Father's behalf. Nor does Immanuel cease to be the coequal Son. Having overcome, he sitteth forever with the Father in his throne,-the throne of God and the Lamb. But He, the Father, who was known, before, only through the Son,-dwelling thenceforth in the new Jerusalem, admits his creatures into his own immediate presence; unveils his own face to their adoring view; and bestows upon them, with his own hand, the treasures of his love.

? 9. The new Jerusalem.

Purged by fire and renewed, the earth is fitted for the abode of God; and the holy city, new Jerusalem, comes down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. In the midst of its street flows the river of the water of life from the throne of God and the Lamb; and on either side of the river is the tree of life, which bears twelve manner of fruits, and yields her fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. In it is no temple; for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. Before the very throne itself the saints present their offerings and utter their praises. "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall

be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold I make all things new. And he said, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end." It is done.-The mystery of God manifested in the flesh is finished. The terms of the everlasting covenant are fulfilled, and its objects accomplished. The matchless glories of the divine perfections have been made known, and the creatures blessed in the knowledge. The wickedness of sin has been demonstrated; and the sovereignty and justice, the power and wisdom, the grace and wrath of the Father illustrated, by occasion thereof. Death is swallowed up in victory, the curse blotted out, life and immortality brought to light, and Eden restored.

What the revelations contained in the book of God then opened, they will know who shall have part in the marriagesupper of the Lamb. But of this we are assured:-There shall be no night there. Nor will they have need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine upon them, for the Lord God giveth them light, the glory of God doth lighten them, and the Lamb is their light. And they shall reign for ever and ever.

Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. And blessed be his glorious name, for ever and ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and Amen.
