Behold, what manner of love… that we should be called the sons of God” (1 John 3:1).
The story of the seventy: We flip the hourglass: heaven’s angelic sons once ruled; now, through Christ, humans reclaim dominion.
    •    Adam: Son of God, seated on Eden’s divine council—prophet, priest, king. He fell; nations given to 70 heavenly sons at Babel (Deut 32:8).
    •    Reversal: God elects the younger—Adam over angels, Israel over nations, Christ over all.
    •    Jesus: Second Adam, sends 70, crushes Satan, pours Spirit at Pentecost—Babel undone.
    •    Christians: Adopted sons, Spirit-led, judging angels (1 Cor 6:3), treading serpents, heirs with Christ.
Armor Up (Eph 6): Truth, righteousness, gospel, faith, salvation, Word.
The war rages, but victory’s won. Nothing separates us from Christ’s love (Rom 8:37–39).
