The secret things are the Lord’s. Perhaps in time He will tell us how He did it. Until then we should show humility regarding what we don’t fully understand. In the meantime, we should worry to keep what we do understand. Here in a nutshell is why the Western world is in decline. We have treated the Word of God as an unholy and common thing. It no longer speaks with authority to or informs our culture/s as it once did. When it did, we saw the blessings. Now that we are post-christian, we see the decline - and it is rapid. 50 million abortions shows where we’re at. The places where the Gospel is bearing fruit are in many of the South American countries and in China. The West is basically the Laodicean church. Materially wealthy, spiritually poor if not dead. Full of men’s opinions, ever learning but never coming to the knowledge of the Truth. Can we expect less than God’s judgement. Perhaps persecution will clean us up but it may just be the price we have to pay to prove once and for all who’s we are.
My Post #48 speaks a bit to the “secret things of the Lord”. As I indicated, what we “are told” in the Bible is not secret. The things that “are not told” are the secret things.
