If we look at the whole of Scripture we see a sort of a master play; fleshed out in the epochs of the past and heading from now into the future with a predetermined outcome. The characters are manifold and encompass different cultures and nations including territory all the way from Ethiopia to India ( Esther 1:1); to include Jerusalem as the center focus eventually with surrounding parts of Europe, Asia and Africa making it as the "center" of the earth of the major Kingdoms from Babylon; Egypt; Greece and Rome in the past to the future "Beast" system of the end times rapidly developing as we speak.
In all this we see something unique; that the codirector as it were personally had to take the fall in the middle of this drama and come back to life. Everyone of course is part of the audience but of course where their future is the question.
As men any description of God's ways is inadequate. It is always best to keep to God's Word rather than even the best books written on scriptural topics such as "Pilgrims Progress" or the thoughtful tales of C.S. Lewis that have hundreds of scriptures brought to life in a fanciful story of British youth in the Post World War two era and Aslan as a type of Christ. Nonetheless; it is no accident of course all the details in all of our individual lives and how they fit in with everyone else; John 21:25 makes it clear that all the books in the world couldn't hold just what Christ Himself did when on earth. The Bible is the LIVING Word; and although it has to be front and center it is active ( Hebrews 4:12). Our existence will change as the rest of His chosen first Fruits are Resurrected into new bodies but even with a new heaven and earth and the old one burned up His Truth remains the same.
I intend to spend some time on this study and it is by no means exhaustive. We will behold His glory and praise Him forever as well as get to know more and more about Him.
