Welcome~

Hello and Welcome~


The world is blind to these SEVEN, pivotal facts:

1. The Bible communicates Heaven’s 'Multi-millennial Strategic Plan for Humanity'.

2. There are SEVEN ages appointed for humanity.

3. We are nearing the end of the THIRD age, a pivotal turning point in this strategy.

4. A GREAT falling away from the Christian faith is predicted during the ending days of this THIRD age, as a result of backsliding, general lukewarmness and outright apostasy among the heretofore faithful. Look around and this you will clearly see.

5. Biblical prophecies have been and remain seeds of human history.

6. Yet-fulfilled prophecies, unfolding apace, are worthy of diligent study.

7. Now is the time to get and stay on ‘the right side of Bible prophecy’.

Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time…

A conquering King invaded a land; defeated its army, subjugated its king, princes and lords; set up a brand new authoritative structure; then carefully hand picked, trained and established in offices people from the land to govern and administer it in His name. Though they suffered a crushing defeat, the former king of the land and his crew were not immediately executed, but left to exist under the heavy authority of their former subjects whom they had robbed, abused, and disrespected for decades.

The conquering King also established an intricate and highly effective com-link between Him and His lords, vassals and governors over the land, to ensure they would remain faithful and have immediate access to Him as needed back in His headquarters. Before leaving, He established, across the land, the word of His representatives as His OWN word, as valid and powerful in every respect, as long as they remained faithful to the requirements of their service, and kept in intimate contact with the new King. The requirements included paying homage, fealty and politico-military service to the new King. This system was to be carried on throughout successive generations until the King returned.

Sounds a bit familiar? Perhaps??

This is exactly equivalent to what God did via Jesus. They had originally established, in Adam, Their authority and dominion on Earth. Adam was to exercise this authority and dominion, principally with words, starting with the gargantuan task of naming every non-man creature on Earth! Some time either before or after he finished this task, he and Eve sinned, effectively handing their Earth-wide authority and dominion over to satan and his crew of fallen angels, who became king and lords over all things earthly. They had a front row seat during the creation of man and woman, and heard the ‘word-based delegation of authority’ Adam and Eve received from God via Jesus. (Yes, pre-incarnate Jesus was in The Garden of Eden.)  With this intelligence, satan and his crew were able to use deceptive words to trick Eve into disobedience. Their plan worked, and worked well for ages, until the Redeemer Whom God promised would come, actually came. But His coming would be in two strategic stages: first, to do exactly as was done in the story above; then later to establish His personal, ‘
without end’ Kingdom, initially on this current Earth, and later transferred to a brand new, eternal Earth on which every person ever conceived would eventually reside: either in two glorified geographic zones for the righteous, or one massive zone for those who will be forever damned. (See: Earth’s Next Versions (Series) and also The Lake of Fire: A Preview (Series))

Problem: Through successive generations of His reps, the authoritative structure and com-link He established appears to have gotten somewhat off track. Descendants of His carefully selected people have now been duped into a rather passive existence, allowing the former king and crew to reap havoc in restructuring all the world’s systems to fit their likings, and forcing the new King’s reps to ‘fit in’ or be derided. The world’s entertainment (enter-‘taint’-ment!) and work-for-money systems were the best restructuring efforts of the former king and his crew. The com-link established by the new King, now seems to be used heavily, if not primarily, to beg the King to do from His headquarters (Heaven), stuff He authorized His reps to do in His name. Their authoritative ‘doing’ was to be by their ‘saying/speaking’ in ardent faith, and the King’s power would be evident in their sayings (words in His name and authority) as long as they lived/walked in Love and especially forgiveness, and as long as they kept in close touch with Him in order to learn His ways and will, His Word, voice, etc. He even sent many teaching extensive instructional letters (The Bible) advising how His systems work, including many teaching examples (
good and bad) about the power of our tongue, imaginations of our heart, and words in our world. He dispatched His Spirit and His unseen, holy anglels to support all His saints across the generations. (See: Working With Angels (Series))

As in any relay race, and for a myriad of reasons, Kingdom effectiveness wanes with the ‘passing of the baton’ to successive generations. While the problem is clear, the root causes are complex and deep. No human knows how many more generations remain to be born, mature, and face the challenge of passing on our spiritual heritage. Alas, it all remains in the capable hands of the Spirit of God to sift and sort through the human fingerprints all over God’s will, as it unfolds on planet Earth, and unfolding it is! Even within yet unborn generations, God has already pre-positioned pivotal believers across the ranks who will lead many to righteousness, and who, along with their supporters, will one day rise from their dusty graves to receive eternal, glorified stardom in God’s Kingdom on the new, eternal planet Earth.

And many of those who sleep in the dust of the Earth shall awake,
some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament,
and those who turn many to righteousness [will shine]
like the stars forever and ever. (Daniel 12:2-3)
