God brought those civilizations to their zeniths and then brought them low. God isn't just watching over the affairs of mankind; He is directing the affairs of mankind.

In the Spirit or apart from the Spirit.

Your own comments should give you pause. Still no discernment or self awareness.

What matters is that we magnify Christ, glorify God, and work to advance God's kingdom.

I've read your position many times. I reject the prevenient grace argument, but do agree that grace is the exercise of God's power in/on/through an individual.

The four winds of heaven represents the activity of God. He is responsible for those civilizations coming into existence. The point was that God is intimately involved in the affairs of man and directing the course of human history. It was true then and it continues to be true. This is both true...

Since I advocate that grace is a manifestation of God's power, I really don't understand your criticism. Grace and peace.

The question isn't can man respond to God. The question has always been what the response will be. Man continually responds to God, ignorantly or knowingly.

All great material, but all of it immaterial to my particular argument. God doesn't simply reign over biblical history, but of all of history.

The suffix "ship" means state or condition. It doesn't move worth, it merely declares what exists.

I understand. I'd be interested in your broad outline of both books and a comparison of the two.

I'd love to see your broad outline. Perhaps 4 or 5 divisions. Have you ever outlined the book of Deuteronomy?

Have you ever outlined the book of Revelation?

Sure, but to explain all that in one sentence would have been a very long run on sentence.

Welcome and blessings

Thanks. This is your mindset as you consider scripture concerning end times. You have come to this conclusion so any discussion concerning end times and last days will inevitably come from this perspective. From my perspective, the book of Revelation concerns itself with the ending of a...

We're running in circles, and you are widening the discussion beyond the verse itself. Perhaps a better way to understand the verse is to place it within context of the book. Can you, in your own words, and in one sentence, summarize the book of Revelation?

You presume it didn't happen because you place restrictions on it. You say it must be universal. The verse doesn't state that. If I say that an event occurred and everyone saw it, do I mean everyone to the last person saw it? Or everyone there witnessed it? The verse doesn't say it is a final...

The claim in Revelation 1:7 is that it wasn't hidden. Scripture's testimony is that Jesus returned openly and in the 1st century. That's what the verse says. Why deny what scripture clearly claims?

All I'm saying is that while you have established a time frame for the onset of last days, you haven't shown from scripture it's ending. You quoted a verse that informs concerning how God and time are related, but not tied that principle to last days with scripture. I have shown from scripture...
