Paul, having been brought to the
Areopagus, or Mars hill,
proclaims THE God who made the
heavens and the earth. Notice, no
explanation, just proclamation.
Hebrews 11:6 says, “..he that comes
to God must believe that He is...”
THIS GOD is the one who made from
one man every nation to dwell on
the face of the earth.
From the first man Adam, God made
every race under heaven and placed
them on His earth where they would
be able to find God, if they would
but seek Him. Today, He still gives
to all life and breath and all
things.
Paul, then, contrasts the images
constructed by the technology and
imagination of men with THE
DIVINE BEING, e.g. the true
and living God.
This One will bring all men to
account. As proof of this, God
raised Jesus, their judge, from the
dead.
Since the judge is alive, the
judgment is certain.

Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast,
Acts 17:23.
