Matthew Poole and continuators on Romans 14:11

11. For it is written, As, I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God .

This Verse Proves what was before Asserted, That All must stand before the Iudgment of Christ: The Proof is from Isa. 45.23. The Prophet speaks only of God's swearing; the Apostle sets down the Form of his Oath; which Form is frequently mentioned in Scripture, vid. Numb. 14.21, 28: Ier. 22.24. Ezek. 5.11. and 14.16, 18. and 20.3. And instead of every Tongue shall Swear; the Apostle, following the Seventy, saith, Every Tongue shall confess; and we are told, Philip. 2.11. what it shall confess, viz. That Iesus Christ is Lord. That which is generally spoken of Iehovah, begin here in a peculiar manner applyed to Christ, it evidently sheweth, That He is supream Iudge, and sovereign Lord, unto whom all Knees must bow in token of Subjection; and before whose Tribunal, all Persons, will they, or will they not, must appear.
