What the Bible says about Christ's Power
(From Forerunner Commentary)
In Hebrews 2:7-9, it says that all things have been given to Him and that all things have been put under His feet!

Christ's Death, Resurrection, and Ascension
God has given us revelation, and He has enlightened us that we may know the hope of His calling and the glory that lies ahead. Then, Paul immediately draws our attention to Christ's power to accomplish those ends.

Like one of the Old Testament prophets, Paul does not hold back. He had a thorough understanding of the Old Testament due to all of the studying he had done throughout his life, and he distills it here in just a few verses. He speaks of the flaming fire, the everlasting destruction, and the glory of Christ's power, giving us an indication that we, too, as New Testament Christians, ought to understand what is coming in detail.

This verse is not a picture of Christ holding the world on His shoulders like Atlas, but one far more dynamic! Instead, it depicts Christ carrying everything by His power! Not just the earth but all of His awesome creation is subject to His power!
It shows Him dynamically at work, governing, reigning, and ruling over it He upholds all things by the word of His power!
