Psalms 110:2. The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
No sooner was Christ ascended into heaven than, out of the midst of his Church,-the earthly Zion,-the scepter of his power was stretched forth, and its might was displayed amongst the sons of men. Witness what happened on the day of Pentecost, which was but the beginning of Christ’s ruling in the very midst of his enemies, who then became his friends, and yielded their hearts and lives to him; so that Jerusalem, where he had been crucified, became the very center of his kingdom on earth, from which his servants went forth to evangelize the world.
