His Great Power

Revelation 11:17 KJV
Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

There is coming a day when the Lord will "take to" Himself His great power. Gill said, "...power always belonged to him, as God;
He always was the mighty God, and, as such, help for his people was laid upon him, he being mighty to save, and able to bear the government of them, laid on his shoulders; and, as Mediator,
All power in heaven, and in earth, was given to him at his resurrection; and he had a name given him above every name, when exalted at the right hand of God, and was made, or declared Lord and Christ; and from that time he has, in some measure, exerted his power and reigned:
He endued his apostles with power from on high, and he went forth in the ministry of the Gospel conquering, and to conquer, and has ever since reigned in the hearts of his people;
But now He will manifest and display His "great" power;
He will show it more openly, and use it more extensively;
His kingdom shall be from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth;
He shall be King over all the earth;
His power has been seen in ages past, but now the "greatness" of his power will be made manifest;
He has always had a kingdom on earth, but now the "greatness" of the kingdom, under the whole heaven, will be his."
I am thankful for the power Jesus has today and for the assurance He will take to Himself all His great power in eternity.
