"Salvation is of the LORD." -Jonah 2:9

  Jesus is Omniscient by D.G. Miles McKee Last time we discovered that Christ is Omnipotent (all powerful). Now we´ll consider that Christ is Omniscient.  That means He knows all things! We read in Revelation 5:6 of “--- a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes …” The seven eyes present a picture of the Lamb’s perfect Omniscience. This language corresponds directly with Zechariah 3:9 and 4:10, where we encounter God’s omniscience displayed by the seven eyes.  God knows everything; He is Omniscient!

It never hurts any one. It cannot defend itself against assaults. It becomes an easy prey. All this Christ was in His life.  Therefore, (3d.) like a lamb, He was taken and slain. He was the very paschal Lamb, to tak...

"There are some things which He [ God ] cannot do ... He cannot commit iniquity, which is contrary to the purity and holiness of His nature; He cannot do an act of injustice to any of His creatures, that is contrary to His justice and righteousness; He cannot lie, that is contrary to His veracity and truth; He cannot deny Himself, for that is against His nature and perfections; and for the same reason He cannot forgive sin without a satisfaction, because so to do, does not agree with the perfections of His nature." -John Gill, A Body of Doctrinal and Practical Divinity , p.477
