[Footnote A: Psalm 137:2,3.] "And shall speak marvelous things against the God of Gods." That is Daniel.[A] [Footnote A: Daniel 11:36.] "The Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of Lords, and King of Kings." That is the beloved disciple of Jesus--John the Revelator.[A] [Footnote A: Rev. 17:14.] Had I taken such expressions from the lips of the pagan kings or false prophets who are sometimes represented as speaking in the scriptures, you might question the propriety of making such quotations in support of the doctrine I teach; but since these expressions come from prophets and recognized servants of God, I ask those who criticize our faith in the matter of a plurality of Gods to explain away those expressions of the scriptures. Furthermore, there is Paul's language, in his letter to the Corinthians, already quoted, where he says, "that there be Gods many and Lords many, whether in heaven or in earth." Had his expression been confined to those that are called gods in earth it is possible that there might be some good ground for claiming that he had reference to the heathen gods, and not true Gods; but he speaks of those that "are Gods in heaven" as well as gods in earth. Right in line with this idea is the following passage from the Psalms of the Prophet David: "God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the Gods."[A] These, undoubtedly, are the Gods in heaven to whom Paul alludes, among whom the God referred to stands; among whom he judges. This is no reference to the heathen gods, but to the Gods in heaven, the true Gods. [Footnote A: Psalm 82:1.] In this same Psalm, too, is the passage which seems to introduce some telling evidence from the Lord Jesus Christ himself, _viz_: "I have said ye are Gods, and all of you are the children of the Most High." You remember how on one occasion the Jews took up stones to stone Jesus, and he called a halt for just a moment, for he wanted to reason with them about it. He said: Many good works have I shown you from the Father; for which of these works do ye stone me? Their answer was: For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. What an opportunity here for Jesus to teach them that there was but one God! How easily too, had he been so disposed, he could have explained about his "human nature" and his "divine nature," and shown to them the distinction; for these words have become part of the phraseology of Christian polemics. But he did not do that. On the contrary, he affirmed the doctrine of a plurality of Gods. He said to them:
