Ved meg regjerer konger, og fyrster dekreterer rettferdighet. Ved meg regjerer fyrster, og adelsmenn,
ja, alle jordens dommere (Ordspråk 8:15-16)
Alle ting, that are in the Heavens and on the earth, are created by the Word. He has created visible and invisible thrones, herredømme, fyrstedømmer, and powers in heaven and in earth. Everything is created by Him, og for ham.
For ved ham er alle ting skapt, som er i himmelen, og som er på jorden, synlig og usynlig, om de er troner, eller dominans, eller fyrstedømmer, eller krefter: alle ting ble skapt av ham, og for ham (Col 1:16)
Jesus reigns in heaven and on earth.
When Jesus was brought to Pilate, he told Jesus that he had power to crucify Him and to let Him go. Men Jesus visste det, Whom had given Him this power and He knew that without God Pilate couldn’t do anything.
Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? Jesus svarte, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above (Jn 19:10-11)
He has appointed kings, princes, nobles, judges etc on this earth. Everything is in His hands.
