Christ Declaring the Decree

The Son telling of the decree of the Father; that the Father told Him, the Son, to ask of Him, for His being able to possess the nations as His inheritance, and the ends (the uttermost parts) of the earth, as His possession. This is not something that we find recorded in the gospels that The Lord Jesus Christ specifically asked for. But we may rightly assume that this was one of the particulars that was spoken of, between the Father and the Son, in the counsel of the Covenant of Redemption.
