"Acts, chapter 17"

 
Hello, John and Doves,
Last night, my bible study group was studying Acts, chapter 17.
As you know, Paul describes to the Athenians the true identity of the God represented by their memorial, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD.
We read:
     24 “He is the God who made the world and everything in it. Since he is Lord of heaven and earth, he doesn’t live in man-made temples, 25 and human hands can’t serve his needs—for he has no needs. He himself gives life and breath to everything, and he satisfies every need. 26 From one man he created all the nations throughout the whole earth. He decided beforehand when they should rise and fall, and he determined their boundaries.

     27 “His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him—though he is not far from any one of us. 28 For in him we live and move and exist. As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’ 29 And since this is true, we shouldn’t think of God as an idol designed by craftsmen from gold or silver or stone.

     30 “God overlooked people’s ignorance about these things in earlier times, but now he commands everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and turn to him. 31 For he has set a day for judging the world with justice by the man he has appointed, and he proved to everyone who this is by raising him from the dead.”
Acts 17:24-31 New Living Translation

Did you all catch verses 26 and 31?
In one passage [verses 24-31] is the history of the whole earth, right up to the Second Coming!
