all see Him.' And whatsoever
eyes look upon Him, then on His throne, they shall behold the attendant
courtiers and the assessors of His judgment, and see in them the
manifestation of His own lustrous light.

We read that 'unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places
shall be made known' in future days, 'by the Church, the manifold wisdom
of God.' We hear that, after the burst of praise which comes from
redeemed men standing around the throne, every creature in the earth and
in the heavens, and in the sea and all that are therein were heard
saying, 'Blessing and honour and glory and power be unto Him that
sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.'

We need not speculate, it is better not to enter into details, but this,
at least, is clear, that that solemn winding up of the long, mysterious,
sad, blood and tear-stained history of man upon the earth is to be an
object of interest and a higher revelation of God to other creatures
than those that dwell upon the earth; and we may well believe that for
that moment, at all events, the centre of the universe, which draws the
thoughts of all thinking, and the eyes of all seeing, creatures to it,
shall be that valley of judgment wherein sits the Man Christ and judges
men, and round Him the flashing reflectors of His glory in the person of
His saints.

IV. And lastly, look at men's path to this glorifying.

'He shall come to be glorified in His saints, and to be wondered at in
all them that _believed_'; as that word ought to be rendered. That is to
say, they who on earth were His, consecrated and devoted to Him, and in
some humble measure partaking even here of His reflected beauty and
imparted righteousness--these are they in whom He shall be glorified.
They who 'believed'; poor, trembling, struggling, fainting souls, that
here on earth, in the midst of many doubts and temptations, clasped His
hand; and howsoever tremulously, yet truly put their trust in Him, these
are they in whom He shall 'be wondered at.'

The simple act of faith knits us to the Lord. If we trust Him He comes
into our hearts here, and begins to purify us, and to make us like
Himself; and, if that be so, and we keep hold of Him, we shall finally
share in His glory.

What a hope, what an encouragement, what a stimulus and exhortation to
humble and timorous souls there is in that great word, 'In _all_ them
that believed'! Howsoever imperfect, still they shall be kept by the
pow
