Dear Readers,
I trust all of you are well and enjoying life as you continue in The Lord’s Grace.
For me, a pivotal aspect of His Grace is deepening my insights into His Word, His ‘multi-millennial, strategic plan for humanity, comprising 7 ages of human history. I count it as unique and special blessings to be able to share with you what I am learning. Moreover, it is a bonus to receive your comments and feedback via the comment section below each post, emails and texts. I deeply appreciate and honor those who have followed The Spirit’s leading to contribute financially to show your appreciation and support for what I do. Thank you all. Please stay tuned, as I perceive The Lord is aggressively doing exactly what He promised in Joel 2:28-29 and Acts 2:17-18.
I usually am NoT into Bible numerology. Yet I want to share with you 6 points that came into clear focus in my spirit:
1. The global flood (end of the first age of history) occurred around 1,656 years after Adam was created
2. There were about 2,344 years between the flood and Pentecost (start of the third age of history, typically regarded as the Church age). Calculate this based on data in the Answers in Genesis website.
3. There have been 2,023 years (our current year) since Pentecost (50 days after Jesus ascended).
4. The tribulation age is predicted to last 7 years (per Daniel 9).
5. The Millennial Reign age will last 1,000 years (w/Jesus, not satan, as God in this world)
6. The post-Millennial Reign will last ‘a little while’, per Rev. 20 (X years). Connect the dots!
These add to approximately 7 millennia (7,037 years).
Any of you who have visited my blog and listened to some of my music (145 songs on 9 albums) know my emphasis and intuitions go far beyond the rapture, which many Bible teachers accentuate. As noted, my recent blog posts accentuate The Lord’s appointed 7 ages of human history:
(1) pre-flood, (2) post-flood/pre-cross, (3) post-cross/church age (now!), (4) tribulation, (5) Millennial Reign, (6) post-Millennial Reign, and (7) eternity on a promised, new, eternal Earth per Isaiah 65:17 and 66:24.
I have long pondered how long the first 6 ages of human history might last before eternity, and I suspected satan’s godship authority over Earth and mankind might not last more than 6 millennia (6,000 years). Add in the Millennial Reign, and I now intuit these first 6 ages of human history might last about 7 millennia, before The Great White Throne Judgment event. Twice The Bible infers a ‘day’ with The Lord is as a thousand years and vice versa. And we know He has a strong proclivity to ‘rest’ in the 7th day, right? I once thought His Millennial Reign might be that day, but then I quickly realized, ruling Earth with a rod of iron will be anything but rest, even though we, His then immortal saints from the first 4 ages of history will be here to facilitate His iron rod reign!
Re. the rapture, The Lord once said no one but The Father knows ‘the day and hour’ of His return at the end of the 4th age of our history, the tribulation age, to end the apocalypse with the Armageddon slaughter, per Revelation 19. Mind you, He strategically used the present tense of the verb, to know (just as He used the present tense of the verb, to create, in both Isaiah 65:17 and 66:22, Young’s Literal Translation). By now, long back in His glorified state, He might very well know the day and hour of the next group resurrection/rapture event, i.e., that of all 3rd age saints. And, re. the above verse, I intuit, by now the new Earth, new Jerusalem, and new heavens (alt-universe) also exist, and may well have been completed in time for the resurrection and rapture of all first and second ages saints (not only those in and around Jerusalem) from the bosom of Abraham (upper region of hades),into this ‘planet, Heaven’. (See: Matthew 27:51-53, Luke 16 and also Missed Insights from Matthew 27 (Series) and Your Heaven IQ (Series))
By the way, not knowing ‘the day and hour’ of the rapture leaves out a lot, like the general time, year, month, etc. Well, re. the end of the first 6 ages of human history, The Lord gives us just one phrase: ‘Surely I am coming quickly.’ (Revelation 22:20) While many, if not most believers might think this relates to the next group rapture event (as I was taught, and long believed), the context reveals it clearly does not. Contextually, it relates to the end of the 6th age of humanity, and the start of eternity. Conceptually, it could relate to both. For you who may be so inclined, do a dive into deeper meanings of the word, quickly. You might learn something new and relevant to my points above.
By the way, did you know 6 global judgments events trigger the transitions between the 7 ages of human history? (See: Ages Transitions Global Judgments (Poem). See also: Mid-ages Musings (Series)).
Lastly, ponder this:
~6 ages of human history during which satan is the ‘god’ *
~6 global ‘age transition’ judgments The Lord has appointed to satan and mankind!
~6 millennia, possible duration of satan’s ‘godship’, interrupted by The Millennial Reign!
~6 points above to guesstimate the length of the 6 ages of our history, before eternity!
So excerpt ‘666’,
Taking your pick …of which!
Rich blessings to all~ Keep reading!
J!
—————
* Anybody wondering why I say in 6 ages satan will be ‘the god’, when on this side of eternity, it may only be for 5 ages covering 6 millennia?? Here’s why. In Heaven, he attempted a coup d’etat, desirous of replacing Jesus. In Eden, he successfully tricked Eve, and thus Adam, who was NoT deceived, decided to sin, effectively giving his God-given authority over to satan. Since then, consider the trillions of people over whom satan has been/is their god. Well, with that incredible history and success rate, I imagine even in the hellish, anguishing lake of fire, this fool’s innate nature might not change, and he STILL might try to find a way to be worshiped! I know, I know, that is quite a stretch. See what The Lord predicted long ago about the kind of greeting ‘this man’ will receive in the lake of fire! (Isaiah 14:12-17) Yep, I interpret those verses as relating to ex-Lucifer! It appears he and ALL demons might become immortal men, just like some of their cohorts did in Genesis 6:1-2. Guess what? The Bible never says those who became human men ever changed back to being angels in spirit form only. Imagine that! See: Hell: Is THIS the Man? (Poem).
Here’s another insightful point to consider about satan’s time as a god on Earth. He was present and featured in Eden, spiritually possessing the serpent through which he tempted Eve. I surmise devils witnessed The Lord’s creation of Adam and Eve. If so, they were likely on Earth prior to man’s creation. We don’t know when they fell to Earth after their rebellion in Heaven, but if it was indeed long prior to Adam and Eve, ahhhh…, whom do you think was ‘the god on Earth’ at that time??
NB: Eternity, whether spent in the heavenly part of the new Earth, or the hellish lake of fire on that SAME Earth (Isaiah 66:22) IS part of human history. Revelation 19:20 (at the end of the tribulation age) reveals the anti-Christ and his prophet will be cast into the lake of fire on the new Earth long before satan and his demons! I intuit this to signify they will likely be the FIRST residents in this awful place. Imagine the greeting they might have for satan and his crew just after the Great White Throne Judgment (Revelation 20:10, at the end of the post-Millennial Reign age). Don’t believe the lake of fire will be on the new heavenly Earth? Take a peek at Isaiah 66:24 and Revelation 22:15. The clear, strategic indication is that the righteous, immortal saints, on the new Earth (Heaven), from across the ages of history, will see every unrighteousness sinner who will have ever reached The Lord’s ‘age of accountability’, in their hellish anguish in the eternal lake of fire that burns with sulfur. Both groups (every human ever conceived) will then be immortal. Leave a comment below on your understanding of these pivotal verses on the new Earth and the eternal, hellish lake of fire. Before you do, ponder this: In Isaiah’s day, folks had no notions of the modern day expressions, ‘zombies’ and the ‘un-dead’. Thus, I intuit, to convey this notion, in the prophecy given to Isiah, The Lord used the expression, ‘…their worm does not die’, used four times in The Bible, three of which are The Lord’s direct quotes of what He had earlier said through Isaiah. Caveat~
