From The Name Above Every Name: being Papers on the Excellency, Exaltation and Supremacy of Christ, Edward Dennet, published in London by G. Morrish, n.d.

But when Christ had accomplished the work of atonement, glorifying God in all that He is, having been made sin for us, the veil behind which God had dwelt, and which had concealed Him from His people, was rent in twain from the top to the bottom, and God could righteously gratify His own heard in coming out into the full display of what He is as revealed in Christ on the ground of redemption.

While your English lit teacher might have a fit over the Pauline structure of that sentence, and I readily admit that they don’t write them that way any more, there is a lot packed in there that is worth unpacking.

First that the primary aspect of Christ’s work of atonement was Godward, not manward. God was the one who prepared a body for Him (Heb 10:5) and it was God himself who was propitiated by the sacrifice of that body. This is consistent with the purpose of the propitiatory, i.e. the mercy seat, in the O.T.:

And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which [are] upon the ark of the testimony, of all [things] which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel. – Exodus 25:22

This is a good topic of study for those who mock the Lord’s atonement by insisting that He did not die for the sins of all mankind (as He said He did, cf John 3:16), but insist that the sufficiency of the atonement is limited. The propitiatory aspect of the atonement, as prefigured in the mercy seat, was to set up a “trysting place where Heaven’s love and Heaven’s justice meet”. That is, where God could righteously meet with mankind and be able to supply the forgiveness of sins that we so desperately need.

Second, God’s own desire was to commune with man. He had it this way from the beginning. He would walk and talk with them “in the cool of the day”. How having been rejected by His own creatures for thousands of years, having watched us worship in the vanity of our own minds and mock Him, He could still desire this communion again is a marvel of His grace. Our New Testament calls this the “times of the restoration of all things” (Acts 3:21, ASV), and all things must include some aspects of God’s original relationship desires with mankind.

Third, that Christ glorified God as the perfectly obedient servant and God also glorified Christ by both raising Him up from the dead and exalting Him to a place at his right-hand side and giving Him a name which is above every name (Phil. 2).

Which is the point of this little book, after all. So that covers pages 1 and 2. A nice little book, 114 pages to go. The book seems to be still in print.
