The compression and expansion of God’s scope/work in human history

nuclear_bomb_expo_05

God’s direction interaction with man follows a compression -> expansion pattern, just like a nuclear bomb.

All Mankind
Abraham
Israel
Judah Especially (David, Solomon)
Jesus
Apostles
Jewish Christians
Samaritans (Heterodox Ethnic Jews)
Jewish Proselytes turned Christian
Local Gentiles (God-fearing Non-Jews)
Greeks, Romans, Egyptians Libyans, Assyrians, Ethiopians
Indians, Spanish
Gauls, Germans, Africans, Celts, Chinese

Jesus Chris is the inflection point. The compression happens over about 2000 years – the bulk of the expansion in only 100. Our current age is one where the last little tiny gaps are being filled in by the fallout.
