2. WE MUST GIVE GOD THE PRAISE OF THAT SPLENDOR AND GLORY WHEREIN HE IS PLEASED TO MANIFEST HIMSELF IN THE UPPERWORLD You have prepared your throne in the heavens, and it is a throne of glory, high and lifted up, and before you the seraphim cover their faces. And it is in compassion to us that you hold back the face of that throne and spread a cloud upon it. Psalm 103:19. Isaiah 6:1, 2.
You make your angels spirits, and your ministers a flame of fire.
Thousand thousands of them minister unto you, and ten thousand times ten thousand stand before you, to do your pleasure: They excel in strength, and hearken to the voice of your word. And we come by faith and hope and holy love into a spiritual communion with that innumerable company of angels, and the spirits of just men made perfect, even to the general assembly and church of the firstborn, in the heavenly Jerusalem. Psalm 104:4. Daniel 7:10.
