Outline of the Divine OEconomy from a Word and Spirit view and the impact on nations

Note this is really more a draft conceptualisation.

Accordingly, we are at the time of the battle of Bible interpretation. The Infidels (Modernists), Gog (Russian philosopher prince) and modernist-influenced Christians have their interpretative methods and models, but a Word and Spirit approach opposes them on the basis that the Scripture is to be rightly understood and the Holy Ghost really is present to aid and help.

I. Ultimate Presuppositions (First Principles)

1. Nature of God

• God is personal, interventionist and actively governing history.
• God intends to be understood by His people.
• Revelation is communicative, not mystical obscurity.
• Christ:
  • co-equal with the Father and Spirit,
  • sovereign over history,
  • redeemer and ruler.
• The Holy Ghost:
  • the Spirit of Truth,
  • primary agent of illumination and dissemination of knowledge,
  • distributes understanding among believers.

Foundational claim

• Truth originates in God and is progressively communicated in history.

2. Nature of Truth and Knowledge

• Truth is objective and divinely grounded.
• Knowledge increases historically because God wills its expansion.
• Human understanding grows through:
  • revelation,
  • providence,
  • Spirit-enabled comprehension.

Biblical grounding:

• Proverbs 1:5, 6 — understanding possible.
• Daniel 12:4 — increase of knowledge.
• John 17:17 — Scripture is truth.
• John 16:13 — Spirit guiding into truth.

3. Teleology of History

• History is purposeful, not accidental.
• Events form part of a divine OEconomy (administration of salvation and revelation).
• Historical development = providential ascent toward clarity.

Core principle:

Dispersion → Preservation → Gathering → Universal Accessibility.

II. The Heavenly Prototype of Scripture

1. Pre-temporal Reality of the Bible

• Scripture exists perfectly in the knowledge of God before history.
• Scripture exists in a creation-manifestation above in the Heavenly prototype.
• The Scripture was given in Earth by inspiration.

Implications:

• Revelation is unified before it is historically expressed.
• Historical scattering does not negate heavenly nor latter days divine unity.

2. Progressive Revelation

Stages:

• Patriarchal promise
• Mosaic law
• Prophetic witness
• Incarnation and apostolic testimony

Function:

• Truth revealed piecemeal but directed toward eventual consolidation.

3. Dispersion as Divine Method

• Manuscript plurality and linguistic transmission are providential tools.
• Scattering precedes gathering and purification.

III. Providential Preservation and Historical Gathering

1. Preservation as Continuous Providence

• God preserves Scripture through ordinary means:
  • copying,
  • believing scholarship,
  • ecclesial consular and controversy use,
  • liturgical and devotional use.

Not constant miracle but sustained superintendence.

2. The Reformation as Turning Point

• Recovery of Scripture’s public authority.
• Transition from clerical custody → popular access.
• Printing press as providential technology.

Puritan contribution:

• Providence governs mundane history.
• Ordinary labour participates in divine purpose.

3. Textual Stabilisation

Trajectory:

• scattered textual tradition
• consolidation through Received Text tradition
• translation refinement
• increasing clarity and uniformity.

IV. Language as Instrument of Providence

1. Theology of Language

• God in control at Babel
• The making of Greek as lingua franca
• Pentecost establishes the contact of Christianity into all nations
• God intends revelation to be understood universally.

2. Emergence of English

Providential characteristics:

• linguistic flexibility (derivation from etymological sources including Christian Greek and Latin),
• literary and expressive precision,
• global spread through exploration, mission and world commerce,
• compatibility with mass literacy (and the internet as an instrument of providence).

English becomes:

• missionary medium,
• carrier of Scripture,
• vehicle of universal doctrinal dissemination.

V. The King James Bible as Providential Convergence

1. Nature of the KJB

• Not new inspiration.
• Culmination of preservation and translation.
• Settlement of Scripture in accessible form.

2. Concept of Perfection

Perfection defined as:

• providentially completed preservation,
• stable textual form,
• universal accessibility.

3. Finalisation

• Continued transmission leads to settled edition (PCE concept).
• Printing and editorial stability part of divine OEconomy.

Core claim:

Heavenly perfection becomes historically accessible.

VI. Word and Spirit Theology

1. Dual Operation

• Word = objective global revelation.
• Spirit = subjective local empowerment.

Neither sufficient alone.

2. Sanctification Model

• Humans require Spirit empowerment to conform to Scripture.
• Holiness = alignment with revealed divine order.

Puritan continuity:

• God works internally and externally.

3. Interpretation

• God intends Scripture to be understood.
• Teachers and churches serve as instruments of illumination.
• Understanding increases historically.

This necessarily requires the purging of Infidelity ideology from the Church.

VII. Doctrinal Convergence

Mechanism

• Perfect text
• Spirit illumination
• Shared language
• Historical correction

Result:

• Gradual doctrinal unity.
• Errors diminish over time.
• Unity emerges by the Spirit.

VIII. Nations within the Divine OEconomy

1. Theology of Nations

• Nations serve providential roles.
• Cultural development evaluated by proximity to revelation.

Biblical basis:

• Abrahamic blessing extended to all nations.

2. English-Speaking Civilisation

Seen as:

• steward civilisation,
• dissemination centre of Scripture,
• missionary engine.

Function:

• instrument, seeding the world with Anglo-Christian supra-culture with regional expression (not banning clogs, cumin cheese, witlof, etc), which is to say, English-based ideology with multi-national cultural aesthetics.

3. Universality

• Aim is global participation.
• Spirit poured on all social classes:
  • workers,
  • women,
  • youth,
  • ordinary people made extraordinary.

IX. Intellectual and Scientific Consequences

1. Knowledge Expansion

Influences:

• Bacon: restoration of knowledge.
• Hartlib: universal learning networks.
• Newton: intelligible creation.

Science understood as:

• reading creation under God.

2. Anti-Enlightenment Infidelity

Rejected:

• materialism,
• secular autonomy,
• infidelity-enforcing rules based order,
• atheistic human rights.

Retained:

• empirical investigation,
• technological advancement,
• Christian and pragmatic rules based order which is nationalism under divine order,
• individual liberty as based on the evolved Anglo-Saxon rule of law.

X. Cultural Outworking

1. Aesthetic Effects

• Beauty reflects divine order.
• High culture emerges and restores:
  • literature,
  • classical music,
  • fine art,
  • Etc.

2. Everyday Life

Ordinary activities sanctified:

• gardening,
• craftsmanship,
• exploration of nature,
• Etc.

XI. Social and Practical Theology

Politics

• Spiritual realities precede institutions, angels above kingdoms.
• Moral accountability to God both nationally and individually.

Medicine

• Divine healing, miracles, etc. possible alongside hospital practice.
• Health system secular practices become life-based, natural-based and outcome-based.

Economics

• Blessing connected with stewardship, giving, obedience.
• Model drawn from Abrahamic prosperity.

National blessing to follow exaltation of Christianity.

XII. Eschatological Trajectory

1. Latter-Day Expansion

• Knowledge increases.
• Scripture universally accessible.
• Spirit widely poured out.

2. Democratic Spiritual Order

• No elite monopoly on revelation.
• Lowly people empowered as central participants.

3. Final Movement

History progresses toward:

• unified Scripture,
• shared doctrine,
• international Christian civilisation,
• surprise rapture return of Christ.

XIII. Structural Logic of the Entire System

Central Thesis

God governs history to bring divine truth from heavenly perfection into universal human accessibility through:

1. Revelation
2. Preservation
3. Linguistic preparation
4. Scriptural perfection
5. Spirit empowerment
6. Cultural transformation
7. Global dissemination

XIV. Function of the System as a Theological Argument

The argument attempts to demonstrate:

• God’s providence operates not only spiritually but historically.
• Scripture’s perfection is historically manifested.
• Language and civilisation serves divine purposes.
• Word and Spirit together transform individuals and societies.
• History itself is moving toward theological convergence.
