Roman city in Switxerland

  Nyon is a town in Switzerland. It was founded by Roman troops over 2000 years ago, in 50-44 bC, after the wars in Gaul. It was named "Colonia Iulia equestris", after Julius Caesar. It's older than its sister cities (Copia Felix Munatia Lugdunensis) Lyon and (Colonia Raurica) which were founded in 44/43 bC by Munatius Plancus. These three cities were some of the last to be founded during the wars in Gaul for the soldiers or cavalry, giving them the name Equestris.

Illusion



1Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?" 2The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3but God did say, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.'" 4"You will not certainly die," the serpent said to the woman. 5"For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." 6When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.

What the eyes see (vs.1) (vs.6), and what the ears hear (vs.4-5), the mind believes. Eve talked to a snake (vs.2). Then she lied to the snake by telling it they must not even touch even touch the tree (vs.3). Satan knew he had her right then.

1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shalt be as gods, knowing good and evil 6
 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.           
What the eye see's and the ear hears the mind belives.

1 Corinthians 11-12 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.


Before God created the physical universe that we know, He lived in eternity past, with no time or space as we understand them. Then He created our universe and added humanity to mix to fulfill His purpose in the Creation. After doing so, a period of time elapsed before humans were corrupted by sin in Genesis 3. Maybe that period was days or weeks, and maybe it was centuries; no one knows. We also cannot know how many years have passed since then, but it has been quite a few. Jesus is set to return to do away with evil entirely in the Final Judgment, and then we will spend eternity with Him. Notice that “eternity” is on both sides of “time”.
From an earthly time and space point of view, there is only time, for we have no frame of reference from which to comprehend eternity. Yet from God’s perspective, “time” is but a blip on the radar, so vast is eternity.
This concept isn’t easy to wrap our brains around; it may not even be possible to do so. Yet we can be sure that love endures through all of this.

1 Chronicles 15:2

 Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you. 

This verse in the Old Testament is more evidence for the freewill of man. I can see this no other way.

Indentured servitude

An indentured servant was a person who sold themselves into slavery for a certain period of time to satisfy a debt, and indeed thousands of people in the 17th and 18th centuries sold themselves into indentured servitude to escape the oppression of England and pay for the crossing of the Atlantic to get to America.
