Yes, I have notice such a pattern in scripture, however, I don't believe it's something we should make a big deal out of. First off, as a Christian, I don't believe anything can scupper or delay God's will concerning the earth from coming to pass. The patterns don't help is predict the future. Why do I say so? Well, this pattern has been trashed by the life of one man—Jesus Christ. Yes, Jesus died, but unlike the others, he came back to life, soundly accomplished his mission, and defeated the devil while at it. So the enemy couldn't stop him at all. To me, that ends the so-called pattern. Plus, I guess I just hate the idea that the devil has been succeeding in "stopping" God's plan; he ain't that powerful by any means.Sushan wrote: ↑02 Mar 2021, 00:49 By studying various religious scriptures, the author has identified a general pattern according to which the events occur when God's Divine Plan (To make the physical world a dwelling place for God) is going to be fulfilled. As per the author, various leaders have emerged since Moses, such as David, Ezra and Esther, Simon Bar Kokhba, who would have fulfilled this task, but failed due to the opposition by the serpent (as per the author, the very serpent who made Eve to eat from the forbidden tree has continued his mission in preventing God's plans from happening).
So, according to the author, this general pattern happens as,
1. Bad events happen
2. Leaders emerge to command
3. Amalek war ( Amalek can be any nation at the time who opposes God's Divine Plan)
4. Building a temple (or the revelation)
5. Death of the leader
The author shows that this cycle has repeated several times, and he suggests that it will help us to predict the future events.
When studying the bible and other relevant religious scriptures, have you noticed such a pattern? Or is this merely a making of the author by arranging few historical facts into a pattern? Is this a proof for the saying, "history repeats itself"?
