night

,

and

behold

as

it

were

the

Son

of

man

,

coming

in

the

clouds

of

heaven

,

came

even

to

the

Ancient

of

days

,

and

stood

in

His

sight

.

And

they

who

stood

beside

Him

brought

Him

before

Him

:

and

to

Him

was

given

a

royal

power

,

and

all

the

kings

of

the

earth

by

their

generation

,

and

all

glory

obeying

Him

:

and

His

power

is

eternal

,

which

shall

not

be

taken

away

,

and

His

kingdom

shall

not

be

destroyed

.

”

Also

in

Isaiah

:

“

Now

will

I

arise

,

saith

the

Lord

;

now

will

I

be

glorified

,

now

will

I

be

exalted

,

now

ye

shall

see

,

now

ye

shall

understand

,

now

ye

shall

be

confounded

.

Vain

will

be

the

strength

of

your

spirit

:

the

fire

shall

consume

you

.

”

Also

in

the

cixth

Psalm

:

“

The

Lord

said

unto

my

Lord

,

Sit

Thou

on

my

right

hand

,

until

I

make

Thine

enemies

the

footstool

of

Thy

feet

.

God

will

send

the

rod

of

Thy

power

out

of

Sion

,

and

Thou

shalt

rule

in

the

midst

of

Thine

enemies

.

”

Also

in

the

Apocalypse

:

“

And

I

turned

and

looked

to

see

the

voice

which

spake

with

me

.

And

I

saw

seven

golden

candlesticks

,

and

in

the

midst

of

the

candlesticks

one

like

unto

the

Son

of

man

,

clothed

with

a

long

garment

,

and

He

was

girt

about

the

paps

with

a

golden

girdle

.

And

His

head

and

His

hairs

were

white

as

wool

or

snow

,

and

His

eyes

as

a

flame

of

fire

,

and

His

feet

like

to

fine

brass

from

a

furnace

of

fire

,

and

His

voice

like

the

sound

of

many

waters

.

And

He

had

in

His

right

hand

seven

stars

:

and

out

of

His

mouth

went

a

sharp

two

-

edged

sword

;

and

His

face

shone

as

the

sun

in

his

might

.

And

when

I

saw

Him

,

I

fell

at

His

feet

as

dead

.

And

He

laid

His

right

hand

upon

me

,

and

said

,

Fear

not

;

I

am

the

first

and

the

last

,

and

He

that

liveth

and

was

dead

;

and

,

lo

,

I

am

living

for

evermore

and

I

have

the

keys

of

death

and

of

hell

.

”

Likewise

in

the

Gospel

,

the

Lord

after

His

resurrection

says

to

His

disciples

:

“

All

power

is

given

unto

me

in

heaven

and

in

earth

.

Go

therefore

and

teach

all

nations

,

baptizing

them

in

the

name

of

the

Father

,

and

of

the

Son

,

and

of

the

Holy

Ghost

,

teaching

them

to

observe

all

things

whatsoever

I

have

commanded

you

.
