Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 2:30

30 Therefore being a prophet , and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loyns , according to the flesh , he would raise up Christ, to sit on his thro[illegible: 1 letter]e :

Not barely had sworn, which had been sufficient; but to shew the excellency of the matter, and the necessity of our believing of it, as also the solemnity of the words, Psal. 132.11.

Such as should descend from him, as the Virgin Mary did.

As to his human Nature, which our Saviour did truly partake of, being in the form of a servant.

By the Power of the Holy Ghost in the womb of his Virgin-mother as to his Incarnation; and by the same Power out of the grave, in his Resurrection.

As Luke 1.32, 33. Not as a Temporal King, for his Kingdom is not of this world ▪ but as David ruled over all the people of God, so does Christ, and shall do for ever.
