Ge 28.
PARALLELS.
I. Jacob's Ladder, which he saw in a vision, stood upon the earth, but the top reached to heaven: so Christ, although he was humbled in shape of sinful flesh, to the earth, as it were; yet he was the Most High God, reaching so to heaven.
II. The angels went up and down by it; so we ascend up to God by Jesus Christ, and God descends, as it were, by him also down to us.
III. The Lord stood above it, and made promises of Canaan to Jacob: so God in Christ, and through him, hath made all promises of heaven, and ratified them to us.
IV. In the place which was called the house of God, and of heaven, was the Ladder seen, Ge 28:19. So in Christ's Church, the true house of God, we get a clear and full sight of Christ.
