Have you ever seen a science fiction movie where you go back in
time? When people go back, they can change their decisions,
but somehow the events become the same future. Has to turn out the same, because if not, the context of the beginning of the film would change, and They could self-destruct! For example, in "Back to the Future", the young
protagonist (represented by Michael J. Fox) goes back in time and observes her parents when they fell in love. If something happens to prevent them from fall in love and get married, he would not exist! This points to the profound fact that, just as
all nature is interdependent, this is the moment of history. Everyone the times are interconnected, and only God sees the whole picture.
At the risk of being misunderstood, for God, looking at history must be something
like watching a movie that goes back in time. He already knows how it ends.
He even made the movie!
When we live through the moments of that story, we really exercise
our “natural freedom”, but we cannot change the events that only God
rules. I cannot express it better than the succinct proverb:
Proverbs 16.9
The heart of man thinks his way; But Jehovah straightens his steps.
vers-hive
Deuteronomy 29.29
Secret things belong to Jehovah our God; but the revealed ones are for us and for our children forever, so that we fulfill all the words of this law.
vers-hive
