GODS CHILDREN OVERCOMING THE WORLD

Bible Symbolism

These scriptures do not imply that all things by all Christians at all times can be overcome. Since this article concerns prophecies about the New Jerusalem in the age that followed the age of the the Gentiles. An excellent example of this is would be how Gods saints had long ago overcome the idolatry of the nations wherever the Gospel had been preached. It however did not overcome despotic human government which according to Bible prophecy would not start to occur until the Roman empire fell. There was a very specific and natural reason why. You can see that in this article.

1 John 1:10. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12.

Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
