That it may have been designed that it should be applied here to the Lord Jesus no one can certainly deny, nor can it be demonstrated that it was; and in these circumstances, as all that is fairly implied in the language may be applied to God as such, it is most natural to give the phrase that interpretation. Be glory and majesty - 1 Timothy 1:17 note; Romans 16:17 note. Dominion and power ... - See Matthew 6:13. It is common in the Scriptures to…”
