The sun — All earthly powers and glories shall be obscured with the far greater splendor of Christ, the king of kings, at whose feet even the kings of the earth shall fall down and worship. The Lord — The Messiah, who, tho' man, yet is also God, and the Lord of hosts. Shall reign — Shall come in the flesh, and set up his kingdom, first in Jerusalem, and afterward in all other nations. Before — Before his ministers, who are in some sort the courtiers of the King of Glory. But the ancients are here put for the whole church, in whose name and for whose service they act.
