Exodus 35: 30, 34
See, the Lord has called by name Bezalel .. and Oholiab ...
Psalm 147: 4
He determines the number of the stars, and calls them each by name.
John 10: 3
...The sheep listen to His voice. He calls His own sheep by name and leads them out.
God made us, He knows who and what He made, and He calls us all by our individual names. He knows each of us intimately, He knows how He has gifted each of us with the personalities, gifts, abilities, propensities, every detail about us. He knows where we came from, and what His plans are for us.
He told Moses that He had endowed these two men with extraordinary skills and knowledge and understanding of all the fields of workmanship that would be needed to put together and fashion this Tabernacle to be exactly like the "pattern," the Original in Heaven that God showed Moses on the mountain. And He also equipped them to teach others how to do all the intricate work, so that everything would get done properly.
God even knows all the stars, far more in number than we even today have been able to determine. He calls each one of them by name, too.
And He also knows each one of us today. He knows you and me, and He has given us each what we need to fulfill all His plans for each of us and for all of us. He has individually gifted us differently with a whole array of abilities and skills and personalities, so that we would work together to get everything done so we can all live together in peace and prosperity in every way: socially, relationally, physically, emotionally, politically, spiritually. And also financially, if needed.
When God designed this Universe with our Earth, He could see all Time from the beginning to the end. So He planned for all of us to form societies so we could help one another to be all He wants us to be. And He gave us each different and varied qualities so that we would be able for the strong to help the weak in every area, and to love one another as He loves us.
So when we get to know ourselves, and we open up ourselves to others so that they can know us (being vulnerable), then we are in the best position to discern what our neighbor needs, and use our own resources and abilities to help him.
And he will also be able to help us with our needs. So that there will be no gaps in the fabric of Time that He is weaving with each of us.
We are all planned by Him and are being used by Him in all our choices and decisions we make "freely." For all His purposes will be accomplished in the time He has planned it. All our families, our clans, our tribes, our cities, states, provinces, districts, and nations are all moving toward the great culmination of Time.
Jesus will return, will rule, and then Time as we know it will end, when this whole Universe will implode and explode again to form a whole new Universe, that King Jesus will rule forever.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
