This is one of the titles of the Lord Jesus. The prophet Ezekiel, in the close of his prophecy, dwells much upon the character of the Lord Jesus under the title of prince. I refer the reader to Ezekiel 44:1-31; Ezekiel 45:1-25 and Ezekiel 46:1-24. I shall not think it necessary to enlarge in our views of our adorable Lord as our Prince and Saviour, for every act of his manifests his royal princely sovereignty and power as the glorious Head of his body the church. All his reigns in nature, providence, grace, and glory, set him forth as the Prince of Peace, the universal Lord and emperor in heaven and in earth. Hail, thou almighty Lord! do thou reign and rule in me and my poor heart now and for ever. Amen. It may not be amiss to observe, in a world of this kind, that the Scripture attaches the title of prince to various characters among men. We read of the Dukes of Edom and other places in the first ages of the world. (Genesis 36:15, etc.) And the heads of families were called Cohen, prince, and Cohenim, princes, by way of distinction. Indeed the word is sometimes rendered priest also, as in thee case of Jethro, priest or prince of Midian. (Exodus 2:16) So the word is sometimes rendered Governor. (2 Chronicles 18:25) And even Satan is called the prince of this world, and the prince of the power of the air; (John 12:31; Ephesians 2:2) The general acceptation, therefore, of the term implies somewhat of power and dominion.
