Every day, the story of eternity is written, inscribed on each person’s heart. All are caught up in history. All make their decisions in their own historical situation. A history filled with light, calls people into the light, but a history broken by sin and immersed in darkness leads people to hell.
Each person freely chooses but each historical situation determines many choices.
Here, the Woman must act to rescue history for it is meant for God’s glory, not Satan’s. The coming events will turn the tide, casting out the darkness and creating a new history.
