2 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,

3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

in comics every god and religious diety is real and does their own thing, occasionally going to war with each other and or just broing out together while laughing at the dumb fuck mortals.

Jack Kirby however went a step further and established that their exists on a cosmic scale beings that just shit on these gods and basically run the universe.

Then there is yet another tier of all powerful beings that actually maintains the fundamental forces and powers of the universe

OT is like 99% talking about how powerful and amazing God is. NT is mostly Jesus and Paul, with a dash of the apocalypse, probably the only part of the NT which discusses God's literal power, because He's pretty much a spiritual ideal for most of that half of the Bible. OT has the creation of the universe, the Great Deluge, God shit-talking Job and talking about wrestling Leviathan and whatnot, OT God is all about being all powerful.
