The New Jerusalem and its Heavenly Doctrine # 291

291. Because all the Divine is in the Lord, therefore He has all power in the heavens and in the earths; which he also says in John:

The Father hath given all things into the hand of the Son (3:35).

In the same:

The Father hath given to the Son power over all flesh (17:2).

In Matthew:

All things are delivered to Me by the Father (11:27).

In the same:

All power is given to Me in heaven and in earth (28:18).

Such power is Divine.
