I

The authority of God does not flicker on and off, does not come and go,

and there is no one who can measure just how great His authority is.

Regardless of how much time passes, when God blesses a person,

this blessing will continue forth,

and its continuation will bear testament to the inestimable authority of God,

and will allow mankind to behold the reappearance

of the inextinguishable life force of the Creator, time and time again.

When God makes a promise to a person,

everything about them is as familiar to God as the back of His own hand,

whether it be where they live, or what they do,

their background before or after they receive the promise,

or how great have been the upheavals in their living environment.

II

No matter how much time elapses after God's words have been spoken,

for Him, it is as if they have just been uttered.

God has the power, and has such authority

that He can keep track of,

control, and fulfill every promise He makes to mankind,

and regardless of what the promise is,

regardless of how long it takes to be completely fulfilled,

and, moreover, regardless of how broad the scope

that its accomplishment touches upon,

this promise will be accomplished and fulfilled,

and, furthermore, its accomplishment and fulfillment

will not require Him the slightest effort.

It proves that the breadth of God's authority and power

is enough to control the whole of the universe, and the whole of mankind.

It proves that the breadth of God's authority and power

is enough to control the whole of the universe, and the whole of mankind.
