WHO REALLY RULES THE WORLD!

The Sovereignty of God – God is free to do as he wills, how he wills, when he wills to whom every he wills. God is never subject to anyone or anything at any time, thus he is all powerful or omnipotent!

While this dream doesn’t explain in fully God’s omniscience it does show us that human history is laid open to God as the creator and sustainer of all life, thus whether the direct or indirect cause of all human and non-human events Gods knowledge is inexhaustible and absolute. The question is does he know because HE ordains or appoints things to be so, or does he know because he sees the future?

Colossians 1:16 ESV

For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.

In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will,

O Lord, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.

Psalms 139

Psalm 139:15–16 ESV

My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.

Psalms 139:

Isaiah 46:9–10 ESV

remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,’
