Response to comment [from a "Christian"]: "...[W]e can unravel past events and see into the future of our own time.."
"We" can't unravel anything (1
Co 2:14,
2 Ti 3:7). You are not a
Christian.

Receive Christ (1
Thess 5:9,
Mt 6:33).
If not, you'll still be around come chapter 13 time. Good luck with that.
"I am not your sort of [C]hristian."
There are not
sorts of Christians (Jn
14:6, Ga 5:9).
You are either in Christ
or you are not.
You are either righteous before God
or you are not.

Co 2:2. The people at the Apple Genius
Bar might disagree with you.
"What is righteousness..."
We have no
righteousness of our own.
Christ's righteousness is imputed (1 Co 1:30). We are positionally
righteous before God (Ro 4:13; 9:30; 10:6).
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an
answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with
meekness and fear [1 Pet. 3:15].
"This means you ought to know more than a little about the Bible. The tragedy of
the hour is that there are so many folk who say they are Christians, but the
sceptic is able to tie them up into fourteen different knots like a little kitty
caught up in a ball of yarnthey cannot extricate themselves at all. Why?
Because of the fact that they do not know the Word of God.
Sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. Oh, today, do you have a little
sanctuary, a little chapel in your own heart? When you are riding along in the
car or walking down the street or are in the shop or office or classroom, is
there a little chapel in your heart where you can withdraw and sanctify the Lord
God in your heart? If there is, folk outside will know that you belong to God,
and you will not have to mouth it all the time or make yourself obnoxious by
making some pious statement. Oh, if in our lives today we would sanctify the
Lord God in our hearts. How we need to do that!
Habakkuk wrote, But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep
silence before him (Hab. 2:20). On Sunday you may go to your church, but the
world is passing you by, headed for the beach, headed for the mountains, headed
for the desert, headed for places of amusement. The whole world is not keeping
silence before Him. Why? Because we as individuals need to sanctify the Lord God
in our hearts." McGee, J. Vernon: Thru the Bible Commentary. electronic ed.
