Amen!
Expositions like you've made ...Hi Doug,<br /><br />Amen!<br /><br />Expositions like you've made here about the meaning of ἔθνος open up the prophetic nature of Scripture. God knows what's going to happen. He tells his people in his Word so they won't be taken by surprise. Blessed be his name.<br /><br />A brother took me to task some time back for speaking much as you have here. My point was that the disruption of the languages (and the resulting explosion of ethnic tribalism) was a curse which would be removed in the new heavens and the new earth, after Christ's return. We have a taste of it now in the invisible church:<br /><br /><em>Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.</em> (Colossians 3:11)<br /><br />He was adamant that we would always remain in our nations and speaking in our own languages based on Revelation 7:9:<br /><br /><em>After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; (Revelation 7:9)</em><br /><br />Any thoughts?<br /><br />AlecAlechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00825239050486476125noreply@blogger.com
