An Insightful Look At The Omni’s Of God

God can see and interact with everything that happens in our multi-dimensional universe. He can act at any time He chooses. He is invisible and cannot be seen unless He elects to reveal Himself in a three-dimensional form that human beings can see. He did that when Jesus "became flesh and made His dwelling among us" (John 1:14 NIV).

OMNIPRESENCE

"Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me." (Psalm 139:7-10 ESV)

According to the Bible, the infinite Majestic God is not some universal mind or consciousness that fills space and matter. He is omnipresent and not confined to three dimensions of space and one dimension of time. He can be in more than one place at a time.

God is able to act everywhere because He knows all things. He has access to all places and all secrets because He is the Infinite Creator, Preserver, and Ruler of the universe, intrinsic in His works and transcendent above them (Psalms 139).

God simultaneously dwells in a plurality of sanctuaries; in Heaven, on Earth, the Ark, Tabernacle, Mt. Zion, Temple, Holy Land, in Jesus, in the Church, in the assembly of His people, and in Heaven (Genesis 11:1-9; 18:1-33, 19:24; 21:17; 22:11; 28:12, 32:24-30; Exodus 24:11; 33:11-33, 10:35; 2 Samuel 6:2; 1 Kings 8:26-53; 2 Kings 19:15; Joshua 5:13-15; Judges 6:11-23; 13:3-25; 1 Chronicles 21:16-17; Job 42:5; Isaiah 6; Ezekiel 1:26-28; 10:1,20; 40:3; Daniel 7:9-14,10:5-10; Psalm 2:4, 3:4,11:4,20:2-6,26:8,33:13, 46:5,48:2,99:1:4,104:3; Isaiah 6:1,8:18,63:15,66:1; Joel 3:16,21; Amos 1:2, 9:6; 1 Samuel 26:19; Hosea 9:3; Matthew 5:34, 6:9; John 1:14; 2:19, 14:23; Acts 7:48,56-59; 17:28; Colossians 2:9; Romans 8:9,11; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:19; Ephesians 1:20, 2:21,22; 3:11; 2 Timothy 3:15; Hebrews 1:3,10:21; 1 Peter 2:5; Revelation 4:2-5; 5:1,5-7,11-14; 6:16; 7:9-17; 19:4; 21:3-5; 22:4).

The omnipresence of God is essential because His nearness and our communion with Him can be enjoyed everywhere and can save us from any place or anyone dangerous, as well as when a person calls out for salvation (Psalm 139:5-10; Isaiah 43:2).

The justice of God is also essential, and therefore, it is necessary for Him to punish sinners who do not trust in Jesus for salvation. God is present everywhere, including the place called hell, where people are removed from His presence (Matthew 25:41; Revelation 14:10).

Heaven provides blessing and wholeness not through being closer physically to God but by being in complete fellowship with Him. There is no fellowship with God in Ghenna, the place where those who reject Jesus will spend eternity. God is "present" in the sense that He knows what is happening there (Psalm 139:7-12). However, that does not mean that those who are imprisoned can have a relationship or communicate with Him (2 Thessalonians 1:7–9).
