HEB. I, 10. And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands. HEB. III, 3. For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honor than the house. 4. For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God. (2.) _Preservation._ COL. II, 17. Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. HEB. I, 3. Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high. (3.) _The final destruction of the material universe attributed to Christ._ HEB. I, 10. And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the works of thine hands. 11. They shall perish, but thou remainest: and they all shall wax old as doth a garment: 12. And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. 2 THESS. I, 7. And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8. In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9. Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power. REV. VI, 14. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bond man, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains: 16. And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 17. For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? 2 PET. III, 10. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein. (4.) _Christ claimed to perform the works of his Father, and to possess original miraculous power._ JOHN V, 17. But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. 18. Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. 19. Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
