GESTATION & REBIRTH OF STARCHILDA gracious God, however, introduced the antithetical way to the eschatological blessing, which is the redemptive covenant in which we find the biblical rationale for the delay of judgment. "The delay was due rather to the principle and purpose of divine compassion by which a new way of arriving at the consummation was introduced, the way of redemptive covenant with common grace as its historical corollary."5 DELAYThe consummated blessings of the eternal kingdom and the curse of an eternal hell are delayed by the principle of common grace introduced after the fall. In this sense, "the delay and common grace are coterminous. The delay in relation to common grace provides a solid historical ground for "a consummation involving an extensive revelation of the divine perfections, a glorified paradise as well as a lake of fire." Therefore, the delay is not only "the delay of mere postponement but the delay of gestation.” Common grace is "the antithesis of the consummation, and as such it epitomizes this world-age as one during which the consummation is abeyant."6INTRUSIONBreaking through first of all in the Old Testament period, the Intrusion finds itself in an age which is by the divine disposition of history, or, more specifically, by the divine administration of the Covenant of Redemption, an age of preparation for a later age of fulfillment and finality. Its appearing, therefore, is amid earthly forms which at once suggest, yet veil, the ultimate glory. Not to be obscured is the fact that: within this temporary shell of the Intrusion there is a permanent core.The pattern of things earthly embodies realized eschatology, an actual projection of the heavenly reality. It is the consummation which, intruding into the time of delay, anticipates itself [emphasis mine].8“The eschatological kingdom is the ultimate goal of redemptive history”X in the sense of that which is “locative in house” the double helix being Christology in our anthropology (The Locative is or has been mostly limited to us in house but as you’ll see above is meant to intrude into the affairs of men and nations) M in the sense of that which is “instrumental” the Davidic Monarchy being Chistocracy in a Theocracyמ KING OVER THE WATER | TOTAL RECALL https://on.soundcloud.com/7XhfYcPSZa3HZH8b7NAVY SEALS BUD/S TRIDENT & AQUAMAN ““Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?

In it God commands the prophet Ezekiel to declare to the prince of Tyre, “‘In the pride of your heart you say, ‘I am a god; I sit on the throne of a god in the heart of the seas.’ But you are a mere mortal and not a god, though you think you are as wise as a god.”It occured to me that “a god in the heart of the seas” sounds a lot like Poseidon, so I looked further afield, beyond the Bible. It turns out that Agenor, the Phoenician king of Tyre in Greek legend, was said to be a son of Poseidon. It was not uncommon for the writers of the Bible to avoid naming gods other than God directly and instead rely on allusion. I am now fairly confident it is Poseidon that the Bible is alluding to hereGoing Boldly Where The Last Man has Gone Before!
