To those who have been recently adding me to those they follow:

I'm neither Woke nor MAGA.

Ecclesiastes 4:13-16 is my viewpoint.

In other words, all political people are like a dog chasing his tail, round and round they go but they get nowhere. It's vanity.

I'll say the same thing about Jimmy Carter's quote that I said to an audience last Friday that seems to have had republicans in it.

Government is IMPOTENT in spiritual matters.

God is not focused on behavior modification but on transforming the mind.

Government coercion CANNOT transform the mind.

For Christians, voting is optional

From a lesson I've presented on entangling oneself in human causes:

"Instead of relying upon God to provide for us and relying on God to deliver us, we feel that if we don’t fix the problem that the problem will just get worse"

Not sure which definition of tribes that your handle references. If you are referring to indigenous people displaced or oppressed by "whites" then my toot is irrelevant.

But if you are referring to Israel's tribes, the idea of "lost tribes" is NOT in the Bible.

Luke 2:36 refers to a woman of Asher

Spoutible's glitch that truncates the end of the toot is playing havoc with my hashtags.

How can readers take advantage of hashtags if Spoutible changes the tag by chopping off one or more letters?

The seventh time period begins with the Mesopotamian oppression of Israel. It ends when Israel asks for a king to lead them in battle.

It can be labeled "The Judges"

Judges tended to bring people back to Jehovah, Kings tended to lead them away from Jehovah. There were exceptions.

The 3rd time period of Bible History begins with the scattering of the people and ends with Moses' birth. I use the label "clan leaders". Others call it "patriarchs".

It includes Job, Melchizedek, Abram, Lot & other clan leaders.

If your Spout is over 293 characters (or so) #Spoutible has a tendency to chop off the last few letters. After clicking "Spout Off" go back and look at your long Spout to make certain that the last word is intact.

One thing which is often overlooked is that God created the earth with everything in an "advanced" condition.

The trees looked older than they were. Both humans looked as if they had lived for years.

So, the stars also looked as if the universe was very old.

The rocks would've looked old, also.

The first biblical time period begins with the Creation and ends with God's command to Noah to build an ark.

A good label for this time period is "Before The Flood" even though it ends 120 years before the flood.

The chronology of the Bible can be divided into 16 time periods. Most of these time periods changed because of a response by God to humanity's sins.

Learning these 16 time periods is a good strategy to improving Bible study.
