The concept of forces is woven throughout the Scriptures, illustrating the dynamics of spiritual and earthly power.<br><br><b>Divine Forces</b><br><br>The Bible frequently emphasizes the supreme power and authority of God as the ultimate force in the universe. In the Old Testament, God's might is often depicted in His creation and control over nature. <a href="/psalms/33-6.htm">Psalm 33:6-9</a> declares, "By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all the stars by the breath of His mouth. He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; He puts the deep into storehouses. Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere Him. For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm."<br><br>God's forces are also evident in His deliverance and protection of His people. In Exodus, the Lord's power is demonstrated through the plagues in Egypt and the parting of the Red Sea, showcasing His ability to intervene in human history. <a href="/exodus/14-21.htm">Exodus 14:21</a> states, "Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the LORD drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land."<br><br><b>Angelic Forces</b><br><br>Angelic beings are often depicted as agents of God's will, executing His commands and serving as His messengers. They are described as powerful forces in the spiritual realm. In <a href="/2_kings/6-17.htm">2 Kings 6:17</a> , Elisha prays for his servant's eyes to be opened, revealing a heavenly army: "And Elisha prayed, 'O LORD, please open his eyes that he may see.' And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw that the hills were full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha."<br><br><b>Human Forces</b><br><br>The Bible also addresses human forces, particularly in the context of military strength and warfare. The Israelites often engaged in battles, relying on God's guidance and strength for victory. In <a href="/bsb/1_samuel/17.htm">1 Samuel 17</a>, the account of David and Goliath illustrates the triumph of faith and divine support over sheer physical force. David declares in <a href="/1_samuel/17-45.htm">1 Samuel 17:45</a> , "But David said to the Philistine, 'You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.'"<br><br><b>Spiritual Forces</b><br><br>The New Testament expands the understanding of forces to include spiritual warfare. Believers are called to recognize and resist the forces of evil. <a href="/ephesians/6-12.htm">Ephesians 6:12</a> warns, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world's darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Christians are encouraged to put on the full armor of God to stand firm against these spiritual forces.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The concept of forces in the Bible encompasses a wide range of meanings, from the omnipotent power of God to the spiritual battles faced by believers. Understanding these forces provides insight into the biblical narrative of God's sovereignty and the ongoing struggle between good and evil.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Of the Gentiles (<a href="/isaiah/60-5.htm">Isaiah 60:5</a>, 11; R.V., "the wealth of the nations") denotes the wealth of the heathen.
