Matthew Poole and continuators on Matthew 25:34

34 Then shall the King say to them on his right hand, Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

The King, that is, he who was before called the Son of Man, who shall then sit on the Throne of his Glory. He shall say to his Saints, to those on his right Hand, those whom he designs to Honour, and to Favour, Come ye Blessed of my Father: You whom my Father hath Blessed with all spiritual Blessings in me, who were also Blessed in his Eternal Thoughts: For there was a Kingdom prepared for you, from the Foundation of the World, you have not purchased it by your Works; no it was prepared for you before ever you were, you were Blessed in my Fathers eternal Thoughts, so he prepared a Kingdom for you; and you have been Blessed since with all spiritual Blessings through me, so you are now prepared for it; Therefore, Come and now Inherit it, as that which you are fore-ordained, and born unto, as that which is freely given you, not purchased by you.
