Combine the power of all the atoms in God's universe in their various forms of nuclear release, and God's power is still greater by an immeasurable multiplication. The awesome energy of ten million times ten million suns would not light a birthday candle compared to God's power. His power is infinite, without end, without measure. There is no power like His. No power that can withstand Him. No power that can oppose Him. He is supreme, LORD God of all!

      And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, and as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, "Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns."  (Revelation 19:6)

     Whatever the LORD God wants to do, He can do. He speaks universes into existence, and can speak them out of existence. Those who swagger before Him as His enemy, fall by the whisper of His breath. Lighting splits heaven and earth at His approach; mountains thunder and smoke at His presence; prophets and priests prostrate themselves in fear at the sight of the omnipotent God of the universe! In His hand, all that He has created and all His creatures are but dust. "Tremble, O' Earth, for thy LORD God cometh to thee on clouds of fire."

      In days long past, men and women spoke of our God in whispered awe and reverential tones, lest lighting flash from heaven and consume their impertinence. They might not even be followers of Christ, but they were fearers of God. Mary, Queen of Scots, feared the prayers of John Knox because she feared his God. And though he often preached against her and she had the power to behead him, she would not because she was afraid that he would pray to God against her before he died. Better to face his public scorn than to face his omnipotent God.

     Those who rebel against God, believe in their ignorance that they have succeeded in their foolishness because God has chosen not to respond to their rebellion in this age. They believe God is too weak and impotent to affect them. They scorn His name and mock those who believe in Him and His Christ. "Perhaps your God is dead," they laugh, and speak of themselves as God-in-themselves. "I am God," they brag, and expound on their incarnation into Godhood and scorn belief in a living, personal, God—Creator and sovereign LORD of all. But the inspired Apostle wrote,

     Do not be deceived, God is not mocked: for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.   (Galatians 6:&)

For it is written:
    "As I live," says the Lord,
    Every knee shall bow to Me,
    And every tongue shall confess to God."
So then each of us shall give account of himself to God.   (Romans 14:11-12)

     Ten seconds after our last heart beat, each of us will stand in the presence of that God who contains all power within Himself—that omnipotent God who answers to no one and to whom everyone answers. In days long past, priest and prophet, saint and sinner, fell before the manifestation of the power and glory of God; whether it was a burning bush at the mountain of God, a thundering Sinai smoking with fire, a blinding light on a dusty Damascus road, or a glorious theophany on an isolated rock-bound shore of a lonely island.

     Of his vision of the glorified Christ on the Island of Patmos, the beloved Apostle John whom the Lord Jesus loved, testified, "And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying to me, 'Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last'" (Revelations 1:17). About this awesome Jesus-made-Christ (Acts 2:36), Paul wrote, "We shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ" (Romans 14:10). Those who know not Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior in this life, will know Him as Judge in the next.

     "And do not fear those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul. Bur rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell [Greek: Gehenna]." (Matthew 10:28)

     The Lord once said to the Sadducees, who believed neither in the resurrection nor in angels, "You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God" (Matthew 22:29). It is the power of our omnipotent God that will raise us from the dead and change us into the image of His beloved Son. We will look like Him and be like Him, eternal mirrors of the Son of God. And in His image we will stand forever as testimony and witness to the exceeding riches of God's grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
