If I use 74.125.239.9 I  get google.com so it seems logical that
my own name server would provide 74.125.239.9 and I would go to Google?

    [bobg at box7 ~]$ nslookup google.com
    Server:        192.168.1.1
    Address:    192.168.1.1#53

    Non-authoritative answer:
    Name:    google.com
    Address: 74.125.239.9
    Name:    google.com
    Address: 74.125.239.14

We are in a rural are here but fortunately rarely have power failures.
Occasionally there will be a transient, lights may blink, but the UPS's
handle that and they are hardly noticed. If power fails we have a motor
generator for backup.
