In the ancient Near East, polytheism was prevalent, with various gods worshipped by different cultures. This declaration asserts that Yahweh is the ultimate authority, surpassing all other so-called gods. This theme is echoed in passages like <a href="/psalms/136-2.htm">Psalm 136:2</a> and <a href="/1_corinthians/8-5.htm">1 Corinthians 8:5-6</a>, which affirm the singularity and supremacy of God.and Lord of lords The title "Lord of lords" signifies God's ultimate authority and sovereignty over all rulers and authorities. In the ancient world, kings and rulers were often seen as divine or semi-divine figures. By declaring Yahweh as "Lord of lords," the text asserts His dominion over all earthly powers. This is further reinforced in <a href="/revelation/19-16.htm">Revelation 19:16</a>, where Jesus is described with the same title, highlighting His divine authority and kingship.the great, mighty, and awesome God These attributes highlight God's power and majesty. "Great" underscores His unparalleled nature, "mighty" reflects His strength and ability to act, and "awesome" conveys the reverence and fear He inspires. These characteristics are frequently associated with God's acts of deliverance and judgment, as seen in the Exodus narrative and throughout the Psalms. They also foreshadow the power and majesty of Christ, who performs mighty works and inspires awe.showing no partiality This phrase indicates God's justice and fairness, a key aspect of His character. In a world where favoritism and corruption were common, this attribute set Yahweh apart as a just and righteous judge. This principle is reiterated in the New Testament, such as in <a href="/acts/10-34.htm">Acts 10:34</a> and <a href="/romans/2-11.htm">Romans 2:11</a>, where God's impartiality is emphasized in the context of salvation and judgment.and accepting no bribe This underscores God's incorruptibility and integrity. Unlike human judges who could be swayed by bribes, God remains steadfast and just. This reflects the biblical theme of divine justice, where God judges based on righteousness rather than external influences. The concept is echoed in <a href="/proverbs/15-27.htm">Proverbs 15:27</a> and <a href="/isaiah/33-15.htm">Isaiah 33:15</a>, which condemn bribery and uphold integrity.
