Now in exultation, God’s holiness and righteousness
thrive through the universe, exalting among all mankind.
Cities of heaven laugh. The kingdoms of earth dance.
Who doesn’t jubilate? Who doesn’t shed tears?
Men do not quarrel nor come to blows.
They do not disgrace God’s name,
living in the light of God, being in peace with each other.
Not everything in the Bible is a record of the words personally spoken by God. The Bible simply documents the previous two stages of God’s work, of which one part is a record of the foretellings of the prophets, and one part is the experiences and knowledge written by people used by God throughout the ages.Human experiences are tainted with human opinions and knowledge, which is unavoidable.
