There Christ sits far above all who rule and have authority. He also sits far above all powers and kings. He is above every name that is appealed to in this world and in the world to come.

far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else— not only in this world but also in the world to come.

far above every ruler and authority, power and dominion, and every title given, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

far above all rule, authority, power, dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come.

Because you belong to Christ, you have been made complete. He is the ruler over every power and authority.

So God lifted him up to the highest place. God gave him the name that is above every name.When the name of Jesus is spoken, everyone will kneel down to worship him. Everyone in heaven and on earth and under the earth will kneel down to worship him.Everyone’s mouth will say that Jesus Christ is Lord. And God the Father will receive the glory.

The Son is the exact likeness of God, who can’t be seen. The Son is first, and he is over all creation.All things were created in him. He created everything in heaven and on earth. He created everything that can be seen and everything that can’t be seen. He created kings, powers, rulers and authorities. All things have been created by him and for him.

He has gone into heaven. He is at God’s right hand. Angels, authorities and powers are under his control.

So he became higher than the angels. The name he received is more excellent than theirs.

You can’t be saved by believing in anyone else. God has given people no other name under heaven that will save them.”

He took away the weapons of the powers and authorities. He made a public show of them. He won the battle over them by dying on the cross.

The devil had caused them to believe lies. He was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur. That is where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will all suffer day and night for ever and ever.I saw a great white throne. And I saw God sitting on it. When the earth and sky saw his face, they ran away. There was no place for them.I saw the dead, great and small, standing in front of the throne. Books were opened. Then another book was opened. It was the book of life. The dead were judged by what they had done. The things they had done were written in the books.The sea gave up the dead that were in it. And Death and Hell gave up their dead. Each person was judged by what they had done.Then Death and Hell were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death.Anyone whose name was not written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

He wanted the rulers and authorities in the heavenly world to come to know his great wisdom. The church would make it known to them.

Then Jesus came to them. He said,“ All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.So you must go and make disciples of all nations. Baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Our fight is not against human beings. It is against the rulers, the authorities and the powers of this dark world. It is against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly world.

Then the authority, power and greatness of all the kingdoms on earth will be taken from them. And all they had will be given to the holy people of the Most High God. His kingdom will last forever. Every ruler will worship and obey him.’

God has not put angels in charge of the world that is going to come. We are talking about that world.

I am absolutely sure that not even death or life can separate us from God’s love. Not even angels or demons, the present or the future, or any powers can separate us.Not even the highest places or the lowest, or anything else in all creation can separate us. Nothing at all can ever separate us from God’s love. That’s because of what Christ Jesus our Lord has done.

His eyes are like blazing fire. On his head are many crowns. A name is written on him that only he knows.He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood. His name is the Word of God.

“ The Son of Man will come in all his glory. All the angels will come with him. Then he will sit in glory on his throne.All the nations will be gathered in front of him. He will separate the people into two groups. He will be like a shepherd who separates the sheep from the goats.He will put the sheep to his right and the goats to his left.“ Then the King will speak to those on his right. He will say,‘ My Father has blessed you. Come and take what is yours. It is the kingdom prepared for you since the world was created.I was hungry. And you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty. And you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger. And you invited me in.I needed clothes. And you gave them to me. I was sick. And you took care of me. I was in prison. And you came to visit me.’

We have a great high priest. He has gone up into heaven. He is Jesus the Son of God. So let us hold firmly to what we say we believe.

What I’m about to tell you is true. A time is coming for me to give life. In fact, it has already begun. The dead will hear the voice of the Son of God. Those who hear it will live.The Father has life in himself. He has allowed the Son also to have life in himself.And the Father has given him the authority to judge. This is because he is the Son of Man.“ Do not be amazed at this. A time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice.They will all come out of their graves. People who have done what is good will rise and live again. People who have done what is evil will rise and be found guilty.

Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven. But anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. A person like that won’t be forgiven either now or in days to come.
