Yea, all kings shall fall down before him
Or worship him; not with a civil, but religious worship; for such
worship is due to Christ, he being God equal with the Father, and
so to be equally honoured; the Creator of all things, the
Redeemer of his people, Head and Lord of the church, and whom the
angels adore; every part of worship is to be given him; internal,
which lies in the exercise of faith, hope, love, fear and
external, which consists of prayer to him, praise of him,
preaching in his name, and the administration of ordinances; and
this worship is to be performed in the same manner as to the
Father, in spirit and in truth, in righteousness and holiness,
with reverence and godly fear. This is to be understood, either
literally of the kings of the earth, and which will have its full
accomplishment in the latter day; see ( Isaiah 49:23
) ( Isaiah
60:3 Isaiah 60:11
Isaiah
60:16 ) ; or mystically of such who are made kings unto God
the Father by Christ; who reign spiritually now, through the
power of divine grace in their hearts; have the honour, riches,
and attendance of kings, and a crown and kingdom prepared for
them; and shall reign with Christ on earth, though under him, at
whose feet they cast their crowns: all this shows the dignity of
Christ's person and office; that he is the Prince of the kings of
the earth, the firstborn of God, whom he has made higher than
they, and King of kings, and Lord of lords; whose princes, and
all whose subjects, are altogether kings. This passage is allowed
to belong to the Messiah, both by ancient and modern Jews
F7; and indeed it never was true of
Solomon, nor of any other;
all nations shall serve him;
which will be in the latter day; see ( Isaiah 2:2 ) ( Revelation
11:15 ) ( 15:4 ) ;
the Jews say F8, that in the world to come, or the
times of the Messiah, all the Gentiles shall be voluntary
proselytes.
