Just What Is "Post Modern"?

Sometimes we use terminology that just doesn't make much sense to me. I always thought that whatever was current, at any given time, was also modern. I understand pre-modern, which I would just say was old, but how do you get post-modern when post means after? Things just seem to want to change and therefore we must give them a new name. I am sure glad that even though times change and people change and even cultures change, but our God never changes. Israel went through a lot of changes in their history. They began with a man and his wife who were willing to leave their homeland and go to a place that they did not know. Change. They would eventually settle into the land of Egypt and grow into a mass of people some 2 1/2 million strong. Big change. They would later go into their promised homeland and begin to dwell there. Another change. They weren't satisfied with having a Theocracy, with one man reporting to God on their behalf and demanded a King like all other nations. More changes. They would eventually lose their land, later to return, but never to be of national status as they were before. With all of this, as God was about to stop talking to them in prophecy for 400 years, God did speak through Malachi and said "For I am the Lord, I change not..." Mal 3:6. With all of the changes that we go through in our lives, it is comforting to know that our God does not change. His Word does not change. Salvation has not changed. Find peace in our Immutable God. Eternal God is always modern.
