Is this also an argument for determinism in the Bible? I'm guessing not because that would somewhat goes against some of the bigger messaging.

There have been plenty of deterministic interpretations of the Bible, the Calvinists being the first that pops to mind!

Right, but if one rides Calvin all the way out, then most of the Gospel gets kinda bizarre.

No, it's a reminder that when people think their ideas or circumstances are truly novel they are mistaken.

It's the same as the "wheel of tech" analogy.
