(b) a Gentile is the priest of El Elyon and
(c) His distinctive character as most high God is "possessor of heaven and earth."
Appropriately to this Gentile knowledge of God by His name "Most High," we read that "the Most High divided to the nations i.e. Gentiles] their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam," etc. Deuteronomy 32:8 . As "possessor heaven and earth," it was the prerogative of the Most High to distribute the earth among the nations according to whatever principle He chose. That principle is declared Deuteronomy 32:8 . To the same purport is the use of the name in Daniel, the book of Gentile prophecy ; Daniel 3:26 ; Daniel 4:17 Daniel 4:24 Daniel 4:25 Daniel 4:32 Daniel 4:34 Daniel 4:35 ; Daniel 5:18 Daniel 5:21 .
(2) As "possessor of heaven and earth," the most high God has and exercises authority in both spheres:
(a) the heavenly authority of El Elyon (e.g. Daniel 4:35 Daniel 4:37 ; Isaiah 14:13 Isaiah 14:14 ; Matthew 28:18
(b) the earthly authority of El Elyon (e.g). Deuteronomy 32:8 ; Psalms 9:2-5 ; 21:7 ; 47:2-4 ; Psalms 56:2 Psalms 382:6 Psalms 56:8 ; 83:16-18 ; 91:9-12 ; 2 Samuel 22:14 2 Samuel 22:15 ; Daniel 5:18
