John 12:31b: "Now shall the prince of this world be cast out."
I'm getting used to Calvin smoothing over everything and taking away the punch from passages that I thought hit hard. Here is his take on the above verse fragment:
"This casting out must not be limited to any short period of time, but is a description of that remarkable effect of the death of Christ which is daily manifested."
Does He not say "now"? How would Calvin's take be different for Adam and Eve or any saint previous to this statement? Can't it mean something is changing "now" or soon?
