Calvinists like to cite individual verses as proofs that their doctrine is correct. Verses do not exist, however. They are an artificial construct overlaid onto the scriptures as a study aid, so you can follow along or not lose your place. The division that verses show do not exist in the writings. Calvinists like to take context away so that the non existent verses not only exist, but become stand apart, context free doctrinal statements that can be used like Lego block building whatever doctrine they have predetermined to be the truth. Pro 16:4 The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. In the Hebrew, we see the two English words, "Yea Even" mean this: H1571 גּם gam gam By contraction from an unused *** root meaning to gather; properly assemblage***; used only adverbially also, even, yea, though; often repeated as correlation both... and: - again, alike, also, (so much) as (soon), both (so) . . . and, but, either . . . or, even, for all, (in) likewise (manner), moreover, nay . . . neither, one, then (-refore), though, what, with, yea. Let us see if this means that God made Evil people and an evil day and did this because he made ALL things for himself. Rev 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. Rev 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. Rev 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Rev 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. Rev 16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. Rev 19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; Rev 19:18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. Rev 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. The bible teaches that BECAUSE God made all THINGS for himself that he WILL GATHER the evil people together on the day of evil, when Satan and his minions attempt to defeat God Almighty. When the Bible says things, like today, it does not mean men or mankind. It either means individual items, a thing. like a plate or fork, or it means a greater meaning such as the entire universe and all things therein.
