It is most interesting that the adjective "reverend" is used only this once in the entire King James Bible. And there it applies to God, not to any man!
However, the Hebrew word so translated in this verse (yârê') occurs therein frequently, usually being translated (some 30 times) as "terrible." The first time it is applied to God was by Moses. "Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the Lord thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible" (Deuteronomy 7:21). Note also Moses’ testimony in Deuteronomy 10:17: "For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward."
For those who would deny or oppose Him, "it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God" (Hebrews 10:31). But God is also uniquely a God of love. He is a merciful and forgiving God; He is "the God of all grace" (1 Peter 5:10) and of many other wonderful attributes.
"He looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth" (God is thus omnipresent). "He fashioneth their hearts alike" (He is omnipotent). "He considereth all their works" (He is omniscient) (Psalm 33:14-15).
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." If a person truly believes the first verse of the Bible, he should be able to believe all other verses in the Bible, no matter what men or devils can say to the contrary. Our God, who has also become our Redeemer and Savior, is "eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God" (1 Timothy 1:17).
He is indeed a God of many attributes. HMM http://www.icr.org/article/6115/
