Hebrews 4:13 declares that all things are laid bare and exposed before God's eyes. This verb, used in wrestling contexts for gripping an opponent by the neck, here conveys total disclosure—nothing can hide from divine scrutiny. The imagery is vivid and almost uncomfortable: every creature stands naked and defenseless before the One to whom we must give account. The word captures the inescapable reality of God's omniscience, stripping away all pretense and concealment.
