8. ...of heaven and earth
He is the God of heaven. In this term the Bible shows the limitlessness of his reach of power in space and time: He called heavens into being and He let heavens go by: He stretches out the heavens as a curtain and He rolls them up to His liking when time arrives.
He is also the God of the earth, not only the Creator thereof and everything thereon and therein, but also the Keeper of it and the Commander there over, like all thereon and therein happens, in their widest circumference, also of the smallest particle of it.
However, that He would interfere with the fate of a lot of land deserters, lost in the unknown depths of Dark Africa, and their disputes with a barbaric tyrant, is but a totally unworthy accusation to make against the God of the Bible. For that He is once too great!
Some years ago an informant of the South African Council of Churches, completely as if with infallible teaching authority, (and sadly) believably issued a decree “to put it once and for all without a doubt” that God was by no means involved at Blood River.
