Exegesis
The demonstrative houtos {οὗτος | hoûtos} resumes and emphasizes the subject, leading into a genitive construction ouranou kai gēs {οὐρανοῦ καὶ γῆς | ouranoû kaí gês} governed by kurios {κύριος | kýrios}, which together express God’s universal lordship “of heaven and earth.”
In context — Acts 17:24
The God who made the world and all things in it, this One, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands.
