Consider, what a _Judge_ we have to meet!—one of infinite dignity; for he is the _King of glory_, Psal. xxiv. 7; _the great God our Saviour_, Tit. ii. 13; _the mighty God the everlasting Father_, Isa. ix. 6; _King of kings and Lord of lords_, Rev. xix. 16; _the Lord of hosts himself_, Isa. viii. 13, 14; compared with 1 Pet. ii. 8. _The true God_. 1 John, v. 20.—A Judge as much transcending in dignity all earthly judges, as the heavens surpass in glory the earth, or the sun in the firmament, the twinkling stars, which all disappear, when he riseth.—A Judge, at whose footstool the kings of the earth shall prostrate themselves in either cheerful or compelled adoration; and, before whose tribunal, judges themselves shall stand, and be judged. A Judge, whose eye is so keen, as with one glance to survey the universe; to pervade the thickest darkness; to penetrate the depths of hell; and to search the heart; whose arm is irresistible; and whose power neither men nor devils can control. He shall be seated on a _great white throne_; _white_ in unspotted, unbribed, uncorrupted administration of justice, from whence nothing can issue but purity, equity, wisdom, and truth; and _great_, as being reared on the ruins of all earthly thrones, and as forming the magnificent seat of him, who is _the Most High God_, _possessor_ and arbiter _of heaven and earth_. Gen. xiv. 19. _Thy throne_, _O God_! _is for ever and ever_. Heb. i. 8. What _attendants_ shall grace his advent! Countless myriads, a multitude, which no man can number, of saints and angels bearing the _harps of God_, and decorated with crowns of gold; all ambitious to be of his train; all vying with sacred emulation, who shall tune their harps to the sweetest notes, and exert their voices in loudest harmony, to the praise of Emmanuel; and all joining, without a single discordant string, in one grand and unanimous hallelujah, _To him that loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood_, _and hath made us kings and priests unto God_, _to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever_, Amen. Rev. i. 5, 6. _Worthy is the Lamb that was slain_, _to receive power_, _and riches_, _and wisdom_, _and strength_, _and honor_, _and glory_, _and blessing_. Rev. v. xii.
