Explore a map of Acts 2 which shows all of the nations mentioned in the table of nations. Paul viewed himself as the living catalyst to reclaim the disinherited nations and was very conscious of the need to take the news of the kingdom to all of these nations. Why did the Holy Spirit prevent Paul and Silas to go to Asia? Explore Paul's vocabulary for powers of darkness: "rulers" (archontōn or archōn); "principalities" (archē); "powers"/ "authorities" (exousia)' "powers" (dynamis); "dominions"/"lords" (kyrios); "thrones" (thronos); "world rulers" (kosmokratōr). Consider John Day’s From Creation to Babel: Studies in Genesis 1-11: "Where Was Tarshish (Genesis 10:4)?". Consider that Paul inherits the Deuteronomy 32 worldview. His concept was that Jesus would return in connection with the "fullness of the Gentiles". The New Testament inherits an Old Testament worldview.
