KINGDOM. The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his _kingdom_ ruleth over all.--Psalm ciii. 19. Thy _kingdom_ come.--Matthew, vi. 10. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the _kingdom_ prepared for you from the foundation of the world.--Matthew, xxv. 34. Jesus answered, My _kingdom_ is not of this world: if my _kingdom_ were of this world, then would my servants fight; that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my _kingdom_ not from hence.--John, xviii. 36. And there were great voices in heaven, saying, The _kingdoms_ of this world are become the _kingdoms_ of our Lord, and of his Christ and he shall reign for ever and ever.--Revelation, xi. 15. “His _kingdom_ come!” For this we pray in vain, Unless He does in our affections reign. How fond it were to wish for such a King, And no obedience to His sceptre bring, Whose yoke is easy, and His burthen light; His service freedom, and His judgments right. _Waller._ _Kingdoms_ and thrones to God belong; Crown Him, ye nations, in your song; His wondrous names and powers rehearse, His honours shall enrich your verse. Proclaim Him King, pronounce Him blest; He’s your defence, your joy, your rest: When terrors rise, and nations faint, God is the strength of every saint. _Watts._ Thy _kingdom_ come! and shall we dare With lips unhallowed breathe that prayer? With hearts unsanctified within, How can we ever hope to win A place or _kingdom_ such as Thine, Where all is holy and benign? Send down Thy spirit, Lord, and bless The prayer we falteringly express: Oh, give us grace, and give us power, To wait with confidence the hour When we shall in thy _kingdom_ be, And dwell to all eternity. _Egone._ KNOWLEDGE. Shall any teach God _knowledge_?--Job, xxi. 22. He that teacheth man _knowledge_, shall not he _know_? The Lord _knoweth_ the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.--Psalm xciv. 10, 11. Wise men lay up _knowledge_.--Proverbs, x. 14. Many shall run to and fro, and _knowledge_ shall be increased.--Daniel, xii. 4. According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the _knowledge_ of him that hath called us to glory and virtue.--II. Peter, i. 3. O Lord! in me there lieth nought, But to Thy search revealed lies; For when I sit Thou markest it, No less Thou notest when I rise; Yea, closest closet of my thought Hath open windows to Thine eyes.
