Past Shocking Reversals
- Adam and Eve went from paradise, to exile in an instant – with fig leaves replacing their lost Glory covering; the comforts and abundant supplies in Eden, replaced by the cold, inhospitable realities of a fallen world.
- Noah and his family rose above the Earth as floodwaters swallowed the world -- a shocking reversal of life as they knew it. Their ark perched on a mountaintop where 1st age humans might not have ever stepped foot.
- The first ‘Babel-onians’ went from speaking one language, to utter language confusion, sending people scattering across the Earth.
- A purely alkaline, plant-based diet for both humans and animals, suddenly shifted to include meat after the flood.
- Wild animals went from harmless companions, to fear-filled, deadly threats to people, possibly as animals who were hunted for meat, fought back, and acquired the taste of blood.
- Enoch went from being The Lord’s first documented minor prophet, to ‘was not’ status, possibly the first human to be raptured into Heaven!
- Moses, an exiled, stuttering, Egyptian prince, went from being a lowly shepherd, to leading a massive crowd of Hebrew slaves out of Egypt, and then, for 40 years, shepherding them to learn in the ways of The Lord.
- Overnight, Jesus went from being a peace-loving, miracle-working man, to a convicted outlaw of the Roman Empire, sentenced to the worst death imaginable, thus, as Heaven had long planned, becoming the ‘bloody seed’ from which His Church sprouted.
- Thanks to Jesus, countless people during the first 2 millennia of this 3rd age of history, have been instantaneously transformed from sinners-to -saints, their eternal destinies reversed in a moment of saving faith, provided they remain(ed) faithful until they die.
