In the future Kingdom of God on Earth, “anyone a hundred years old will be considered young, and to die younger than that will be considered a curse.”

There are a number of views on the End Times, and views within those views. A few of them have substance in that you can see how scholars arrived at them from the Bible itself. I’ve told you before that, officially, Calvary Chapel’s End Times teaching is PreMillennial PreTribulation Dispensational Futurism.

One day the Holy Land was under British control. The next day, Israel was a sovereign nation.

Over 2,800 years ago, the prophet Ezekiel spoke these words about Israel:

“I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land” (36:24).

The first part of that was fulfilled on May 14, 1948. Isaiah made this wild claim: “Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion was in labor, She gave birth to her children” (66:8).

Does the Biblical illustration of the potter and the clay prove that God’s sovereignty cancels out human free will?

Does God create some humans for salvation and others for damnation?

What are we to make of this word picture when we read passages like Romans 9?

You may be surprised to learn that every instance of this illustration concerns nations, not individuals.

Pastor Gene Pensiero shares some thoughts on this issue.

Isaiah illustrates God’s involvement with nations as a potter working with impressionable clay.

Certain aggressive but disturbing theologies teach that the Master Potter makes some ‘people-pottery’ that will definitely be saved, AND He makes some ‘people-pottery’ that cannot be saved. If you object to that awful depiction of God, they will look at you with their cold, steely eyes and say three words they believe will render you subdued and compliant: “God is sovereign.”

Of course God is sovereign! His sovereignty doesn’t mean God can behave in ways that are contrary to His nature. If something would be immoral for us to do, how much more terrible if God does it?

That approach to sovereignty reminds me of the famous Richard Nixon quote, “When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal.”

Behavior biometrics monitors phone movement, keyboard behavior, touchscreen behavior, and mouse behavior, to determine your behavioral profile. Your gestures & your gait, too, can be profiled.

Bulgaria is going fully biometric in developing access control systems for mass gatherings. No tickets or wristbands; just scans of biometric info as you approach a door or an entrance. It’s the future.
