In Mid-ages Musings (Series), I shared a pivotal, perceived pattern that might plausibly apply during each of the 6 age-transitions The Bible indicates for humanity. The first two of these age-transitions are historical—from the pre-flood-to the-post flood age, and from the post-flood-to the-current-church age, the 3rd age of our history. I perceived each age-transition was/would be triggered by some type of global judgment from Heaven, a judgment that effectively ‘resets’ life on Earth in various ways, that is except the final, global judgment, which will destroy both this current Earth, and heavens, and reveal a new, eternal Earth. (See: Earth’s Next Versions (Series))
Here's the age-transition pattern I intuited, based on strategic analysis of Biblical historical and prophetic passages:
1. Humanity’s ‘cup of iniquity overspilling its rim’,
2. Righteousness on Earth figuratively ‘hanging by a thread’,
3. Age-transition precursors (pre-conditions) reaching their fullness, and
4. Silence from Heaven, dreaded or welcomed.
For people who are currently, and who in the future will be spiritually perceptive, and attentive to evolving world developments, this pattern should infer some important lessons in each of the ensuing ages. This pattern is presented from Heaven’s perspective, i.e., looking down on the Earth, just as The Lord apparently did, as recorded in Genesis 6. While His is the most important perspective, others are/will be in play—namely, that of humans, plus satan and his crew of demons and devils.
So s-t-r-e-t-c-h your imagination to answer these questions:
o How, pray tell, would you imagine and translate this 4-point pattern, from satan’s perspective, e.g., as commands he might issue across his kingdom of devils, demons and compliant/captive humans?
o How might such an exercise help to prepare you and others to discern the spiritual seeds and roots of current and future, global repetitive patterns, and shocking reversals??

1 Imagine this…If, as I perceive, we may be close to the next, predicted, historical, age-transition (from this 3rd-to the-4th ages of history), then the current, global push to rebuild militaries and produce weapons, might be those that will be involved in either or both:
o the 1st War of Gog and Magog (See: First Ukraine, then Israel’s Terrain? and Ezekiel 38), and
o the Armageddon War at the end of the short ~7-year, 4th age—the tribulation age.
2 The Bible has countless examples in which Heaven strategically planned and executed shocking reversals in human affairs, in order to achieve its strategic plans. Think… the exodus, the fall of Jericho, the Assyrian and Babylonian invasions and capture of Israel and Judah, the timely release of Judeans from 70 years of Babylonian captivity, the resurrection of Jesus exactly as He had predicted, the failed attempt to boil Apostle John alive in oil, etc. Future shocking reversals include the 1st War of Gog and Magog (unprotected Israel invaded), the Armageddon War (the world's armies dissolved instantaneously), the Millennial Reign (peace, prosperity and abundance on the heels of the disastrous apocalypse), the post-Millennial Reign ages (all hell breaks loose globally), and the shocking resurrection (from hell's temporary fires) of the twin spirit and soul every dead unrepentant sinner, as fully tripartite and sentient immortal beings (spirit, soul and body), to be judged, only to be cast into the much worse, (bigger, hotter, more crowded??) permanent fires of eternal lake of fire, possibly somewhere on the new, eternal Earth!
SELAH...
