A Fifth-Monarchy Man.

Mr. Spurgeon in preaching not long since from Rev. 5:10, said: "Do you know that I am a fifth-monarchy man? In Cromwell's time some said that there had been four monarchies, and the fifth would come and overturn every other. Well, I never wish to do as they did; but I believe with them, that a fifth monarchy shall come. There have now existed four great monarchies (Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome), arrogating universal dominion, and there never will be another world-wide monarchy until Christ shall come. Jesus, our Lord, is to be King of all the earth, and rule all nations in a glorious, personal reign. The saints, as being kings in Christ, have a right to the whole world."
