The aGreek word whereby Satan's power is set forth is somewhat emphatical. It is twelve times used in the New Testament: and in every of those places, except this, attributed to God: so as, for the most part it sets out a Divine and Almighty power: even the power of him that saith, See now, that I, even I, am he, and there is no God with me, I kill and I make alive, Deut. 32. 39. 1 Sam. 2. 6. He it is of whom it is said, after he hath killed, he hath power to cast into hell, Luke 12. 5. He that said, I have the keys of hell and of death (Rev. 1. 18.) was true God. Therefore here it sets out a subordinate power given by God to him that hath it, Power was given to him that sat on the pale horse, Rev. 6. 8. For as Christ said to Pilate, Thou couldst have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from▪ above, Joh. 19. 11. so the devil could have no power at all, except it were given him from above. But the power that is given him is a great power. For power of ⟨p. 222⟩death must needs be a great power. What is stronger then death, which overcome• all living creatures? Who can stand against death?
