Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:9-11)
The Bible says that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth. More than man, evil powers fear God, because they know that they are utter failures when they confront God. The Apostle James writes,
You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that - and shudder. (James 2:19)
Though we see people ignoring Jesus and the Word of God and some living in utter rebellion to God, a day will come when they realize the truth that they ignored but then it will be too late. Perhaps it will only be at the White Throne judgement that some will realize to their dismay how foolish they were not to confess the name of Jesus while they lived here on earth.
Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:11-15)
But, how blessed are they, who, while living here on earth, confess the name of the Lord Jesus and live for him. About them the Bible says,
Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years. (Revelation 20:6)
Praise the Lord.
