God ruleth and reigneth as Lord of Heaven and Earth, and as a great King above all Gods. Gen. 14.19. The Possessor of Heaven and Earth. Deut. 10.14. Behold, the Heaven, and the Heaven of Heavens is the Lords thy God; the Earth also, with all that therein is. Psal. 95.3. The Lord is a great God, and ⟨p. 56⟩a great King above all Gods. See Psal. 97.9. 1 Chron. 29.11, 12. Thine, O Lord, is the Greatness, and the Power, and the Glory, and the Victory, and the Majesty; for all that is in the Heaven and in the Earth is thine: thine is the Kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as Head above all. Both Riches and Honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all, and in thine hand is power and might, and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. 1 Cor. 11.3. But I would have you know that the Head of every Man is Christ; and the Head of the Woman is the Man, and the Head of Christ is God. Psal. 113.4, &c. The Lord is high above all Nations, and his Glory above the Heavens. Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high? who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in Heaven, and in the Earth. 1 Tim. 6.15. He is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. See Psal. 93. & 97. & 99. Psal. 24.7. & 145.12. Rev. 19.6.
