I will be like the most High.
The most high God, possessor of heaven and earth.
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Most High is a name of God. Melchizedek was priest of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth. Abram gave him tithes. The king in Isaiah’s proverb said, I will be like the most High. That is the height of the claim, and the reason for the fall. No creature is like the most High. He is possessor of heaven and earth. He that dwells in the secret place of the most High abides under the shadow of the Almighty. The name is not a rank a king can take.
