Ephesians4:10
10 He that descended is the same that ascended up far above all heavens , that he might fill all things )
He saith not, he that ascended is the same that descended, lest it should be thought that Christ brought his Body with him from Heaven, but on the contrary, he that descended is the same that ascended, to shew that the Son of God did not by his descent become other than what he was, nor the assumption of the Humane nature add any thing to his person, as a Man is not made another person by the cloaths he puts on. Christ Descended without change of place as being God, but Ascended by changing place as Man, yet by communication of properties, whole Christ is said to have Ascended.
All visible Heavens, into the third Heaven or Paradise, Act. 3.21. Heb. 9.24.
All the Members of his Church with Gifts and Graces. This began to be fulfilled▪ Act. 2. and still will be fulfilling to the end of the World, see Ioh. 7.39. and 16.7.
Marginal references: Act. 2.33.; Or, fulfill.
