Too true. {{sigh}}
I believe BC was the age of God the Father, who showed us He loved us. . AD was the age of Christ the Son, who showed us how to live and saved us. And the millennium ushered in the age of the Holy Spirit, in which we are to take all we’ve learned and apply it to ourselves, for ourselves, and take the lead role in our own salvation. The age of awareness and discernment. We must stand up on our own and change the world through wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord.
Indeed. As one of my favorite historians, Paul Johnson (Bloodline! Bloodline! Bloodline!) might say "adumbration." I think it may have been his favorite word.
