AE 333 - the dominion

AE 333
And we shall reign upon the earth
(Revelation 5:10)
. . . it is truths from good that are to reign,
thus the Lord alone from whom these are.
. . . It is said in the sense of the letter that these are to reign,
because the sense of the letter is personal;
when therefore it is said in that sense
that they are to be "kings and priests,"
it is also said that they are "to reign;"
but in the spiritual sense everything of person is put off,
and thus everything of dominion belonging to person,
and dominion is left to the Lord alone.
