that all things of the Father are His. Matt. xi. 27; John xvi. 15; xvii 2.

and that

All power is given unto Him in heaven and in earth. Matt. xxviii. 18.

He says "in heaven and in earth" because He who rules heaven rules the earth also, for the one depends upon the other.# To rule heaven and earth means to receive from Him every good pertaining to love and every truth pertaining to faith, thus all intelligence and wisdom and so all happiness, in short, eternal life. This also the Lord taught when He said,

He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life; but he that believeth not the Son shall not see life. John iii. 36.

Again

I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in Me, though he die, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. John xi. 25, 26.

And again

I am the way, the truth and the life. John xiv. 6. # The entire heaven is the Lord's (n. 2751, 7086). He has all power in the heavens and on the earths (n. 1607, 10089, 10827). As the Lord rules heaven He rules also all things that depend thereon, thus all things in the world (n. 2026, 2027, 4523, 4524). The Lord alone has power to remove the hells, to withhold from evil and hold in good, and thus to save (n. 10019).
