The Definition of the word Star, Morning

Star, Morning

A name figuratively given to Christ (Rev. 22:16; comp. 2 Pet. "1:19). When Christ promises that he will give the "morning star" "to his faithful ones, he "promises that he will give to them" "himself, that he will give to them himself, that he will impart" to them his own glory and a share in his own royal dominion; for "the star is evermore the symbol of royalty (Matt. 2:2), being" therefore linked with the sceptre (Num. 24:17). All the glory of "the world shall end in being the glory of the Church." Trench's" Comm.
