Thee the heathen for Thine inheritance, and I will cause Thee to possess the uttermost bound of the earth; Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron." Observe in what land of those which God created in the world the name of the Christ has not travelled and His authority is not attended to. Verily the Christ has inherited all nations as God said by the tongue of the prophet David, "His name and His authority have reached unto the uttermost part of the earth." That was when the Word of God became flesh of pure Mary, and He was God and Man. He is the Hope of the nations, and they are the treasure of the Christ.

The Jews said, "He is the Son of David." And the Christ said to them, "How did the prophet David prophesy by the Holy Ghost about the Christ, saying, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit at My right
