This method takes more time and learning than the first, but it tries to best interpret Scripture without allowing wrongful divisions entering in a text. Before a passage is given the status of dogma, the questions of who was it written to, why was it written, and what were the intentions of this writing initially, must be answered. It is important to see these two distinguished to better understand what the Bible says about history. But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But My salvation will be forever, And My righteousness will not be abolished.
Ceremonial uncleanness is what spread.
There was a certain degree of bondage all creation was subject to, because of this. Thus Christ's casting out unclean spirits and Peter's dream of unclean animals has a lot of significance for the reversal, the ushering in of the Kingdom of God in the New Covenant. This ties in with Structure and Direction we discussed in the last message. Christ has come to change the direction of all created structures We are to cast out the unclean spirits in all structures from pagan individuals to the pagan institutions. History in the New Covenant is the story of Christ's redemption overtaking all creation so that creation reaches the intended goal it was created for. . . to glorify God.
