Good news on my end; my restricted diet to deal with IBS type symptoms seems to be starting to work to keep me more regular.
Not that I need that up on a billboard or anything just that I may have mentioned the situation a few months back.
Let us study Luke 10:21 as it has been on my mind the last few days- In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. It is noteworthy that all other translations I have surveyed other than KJV state the Holy Spirit rather than in spirit. Since He is part of the Godhead perhaps it doesn't mean that much; but this was a rare moment He and the disciples seemed to be "in sync". We also should see that this was the 70 sent out to preach the Good News on a sort of initial "trial run" and they rejoiced that demons trembled at His name.
The following verse clarifies a repeated truth. It states in verse 10:22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
This passage indicates God's predestination and calling of His elect ONLY. Read in the broader context we see surrounding verses discuss that this is the fulfillment of what the prophets of old waited for; and sadly the Pharisees refused to see as fulfillment proving that indeed; He was the Messiah. Just as no one had been healed of sight in the O.T. (read John 9 for context); no one had been freed from demons. We do have the case of Saul being temporarily relieved by David's music; which reminds us of Matthew 12:45.
In this case; the report is of demons that seem to flee merely at the speaking of the Truth as they recognize Christ's authority.
This is probably the most common occurrence rather than today's sideshows often filmed for attention online
This was no trial run but Christ as the Apostle (Heb.3.1) and Luke is not referring to the lost sheep of Israel but 70 which has to do with With the Word. It was in his humanity which as the Word was with God his office covered the day decreed for him. "Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come." we have other references to 70 palms at Elim and 70 elders on whom God apportioned some of the Spirit from Moses."And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders."(Num.11.25)
