God Said It! makes no pretense of being a compendium of historical knowledge from prehistory to the present. It does attempt to draw a line from prehistory to the present. References to the Old (First) Testament and New (Second) Testament as well as general references to the Quran are mentioned. Running under that line is a stream of consciousness that God or gods may exist and are understood as God or gods by those living in the historical events, myths, or realities. The line also tends to confirm the maxim that history tends to repeat itself.Historical events tend to highlight certain characters who were influenced by a Pentecostal event, the perception of the voice of God, and who courageously faced being disliked, dismissed, and disassociated. Wars and rumors of wars and racial, genealogical, political, and national differences as revealed throughout history ennobled a fight against that which lacks civility, denies equity for all, and hates reconciliation.
Courage was rewarded in the fight. It takes courage to fight the good fight for that which is good. To do otherwise is to face the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah and as a punishment be reduced to ashes, metaphorically or in reality. But He said, "On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it." (Luke 11:28 NIV)
No Pentecostal events in the present time are a dismal possibility. References, presumptions, and interpretations in God Said It! with regard to the voice of God, or any Pentecostal event, allow for acceptance in whole or part or complete or partial dismissal. Absolute truth can only be presumed to be true. The reliance on "God said it. I believe it. And that's that" should be considered carefully.
