Potentate In the New Testament (1 Timothy 6:15), Jesus Christ is called: “the blessed and only Potentate [Ruler or Sovereign in other versions of Scripture], the King of kings and Lord of lords.” These defining phrases are also found in Revelation 17 and 19, and are associated with the ultimate triumph of Christ in His Second Coming. Thus, to entitle or name Christ the “only Potentate” is to ascribe to Him ultimate authority and power, which can only belong to GOD alone. The following graphic description found in Colossians 1:15-17 speaks clearly of the sovereignty of the Son, completely and perfectly God, Creator and Sustainer of all things in heaven and earth: "The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth,  visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together."  You can read and listen to this passage in the context of Learning about the names of Colossians 1, as well as view/ hear narrations of *all* the God isn’t an empty exercise Old and New Testament chapters and books in either Drama  in Biblical trivia.
