"And nine and twenty knives". Ezra i, ix.
THE grand design of God the Father and the eternal Spirit, from all / eternity, was to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ in our nature; for this / purpose he was set up from everlasting, to be future Man and Mediator; to / obey the law his people had violated, and endure the curse which they had / merited-to make intercession for the transgressors, to represent his / chosen, and to communicate all spiritual blessings to them, as they / severally need.
