Chiastic Structure of Philippians

Historical Account★★★★

I really get excited because this is where the Father gets involved. He takes Jesus over here to the stairs. Listen to this in verse 9. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, Jesus, and given him a name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, things in heaven, things in the earth, things under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. It’s amazing.
