The Axiom/Maxim
Isaiah 42:3 He will not break the crushed reeds; He will not blow out the remaining lights. He spread the axioms by his faithfulness.
Isaiah, יְשַׁעְיָה /יְשַׁעְיָהוּ, means Jehovah saved.The book of Isaiah has a clear theme, that is, Jehovah's justice and salvation. This verse is mainly pointing to Jesus, the Savior's mercifulness.
Somehow, it reminds me of the God of Spinoza. The God he believed in was a natural and inactive God. His views of God was highly respected by Einstein, but at the time, his theology was claimed as atheism. As a result, he was excommunicated from the synagogue by the Jews. We can see the wisdom of cultural self-criticism of Jews in the incident. Anyway, I think Spinoza was influenced by the beliefs of Dao, the Chinese Logos in Daoism. Check out criticisms on Daoism if you keen on further details.
As God is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent and always in 'present tense', in the 'Ultimate Dimensions', He knows everything in the past, present and future of our dimensions. He has introduced himself as :"I am who I am." Meaning, always NOW, in the 'Ultimate dimensions'. And since the main course of history has been arranged, then we can say that he only sustains the main course of the history, that's planned even before the Creation. Yet, like most narratives in the Bible, these narratives has us, in our dimensions, as audience. God, the Ultimate Being of the 'Ultimate Dimensions', UBUD is always in "NOW". Just that because we have free will, He also respect our choices or decisions, and thus we are responsible for our behaviors. Then, could the history be impossible of adjustments? What we should say is that He knew everything that will happen as well as all possible adjustments. All of the Real is in 'NOW' of the 'Ultimate Dimensions'. By saying so, my theology has actually gone beyond the Calvinism and Arminianism debates.
His faithful axioms/maxims will inevitably be discovered, heard and spread. They are unstoppable! His Kingdom has developed vigorously since John the Baptist, until now. Hasn't there a set of international basic human rights existed now? The Hebrew word מִשְׁפָּט mishpat {mish-pawt'}, is a rule of law, term that has a significant impact on developed countries and even on the international arena. It contains meanings such as justice, trial, procedure, axiom, appropriateness, appropriateness, (judgmental) benchmarks, appropriateness, conventions, etc. As a matter of fact, the Axiom is a prophesy referring to the Incarnated Logos, through Him everything was made, according to the Gospel of John.
Kingdom that survived over a millennium emerged only after the Incarnation of the uniquely beloved Logos Son of the Father. For those who want to eliminate Christianity from humanity, might as well eliminate those related legal axioms as well. That'll be one of the gravest artificial global catastrophy, guaranteed.
