Acts 17:26
The times before appointed. Athens had had her day. She was once
the mistress of the seas. The same fact is true of every nation.
Acts 17:24-29
God that made the world. He now declares the attributes of that
unknown God: (1) The God that made the world; (2) Lord of heaven and
earth; (3) dwelleth not in temples; (4) not worshiped by human hands;
(5) giveth life to all that lives; (6) made of one blood all nations;
(7) appointed that men should seek the Lord; (8) we are his offspring;
(9) hence, the Godhead is not like any idol made by human hands. It
dishonors so glorious a being to liken him to man's device. Then comes
the application.
