6rd Age Genesis 6 Equivalent

The Bible, history, human nature, and current events, together,
give us more than adequate information to guesstimate
the age-ending conditions in the 3rd-through-6th ages.
Come along as I imagine their ‘Genesis 6 equivalents’.

6th Age Genesis 6 Equivalent

 

¹ Now it shall come to pass after The Lord’s departure from Earth, that the full kingdom of satan will be released from its millennial imprisonment in a bottomless pit.

² Word of the departure of The Lord and His vast entourage of immortal saints, will quickly spread across the entire Earth. It will be widely greeted with joyous celebrations, as people born during the 5th age will have grown up under His strict, iron rod authority and insistence on righteous lifestyles.

³ But they will be oblivious to the consequences of their celebrations, yet unaware of an evil that is far, far greater than that of sinful human nature.

⁴ Leaders The Lord’s saints will have appointed at all levels of governance, will have been informed of the evil to come, but they, too, will be swept-up in spontaneous celebrations, as they ponder what post-Millennial Reign life across the world will be like. 

⁵ Influencer personalities who arose during the closing years of the Millennial Reign age, will be well-positioned to usurp leadership roles, especially at the national levels. Some will also quickly rise to greater global influence and power, unaware of their hidden, growing source of power.

⁶ Within a short time, at the threat of execution, these influencers will have deposed all of the leaders who were appointed by The Lord’s saints.

⁷ The saints in Jerusalem will not be untouched by these developments. Many will be overcome with great fear, and some will seek to leave Jerusalem to blend in with the general populations across the world, abandoning their faith in The Word of The Lord. 

⁸ The wise majority of these saints, however, will remain steadfast in their faith and commitment, strengthened by their understanding of pending events. They will have studied the history of past ages, and especially The Lord’s past resurrection and rapture ‘harvest events’. They will fully understand this is their time of testing that will determine whether they will pass or fail The Lords’ ‘salvation internship’ program, just as all of His previous saints had once done in ages past—people they will have gotten to know as immortals during the 5th age.

⁹ Within a few years of The Lord’s departure, considerable unrest will have grown among all peoples, as they struggle to deal with increasing pressures in all areas of their lives, especially economic pressures.

¹⁰ They will be unaware that, with The Lord’s departure, the sin curse that He had lifted from the Earth at the start of His reign, will have gradually returned, and begun to spread its effects across the Earth.

¹¹ The new leaders at all levels of governance will assure their people that ‘things will get better’, and their lives will improve, in time. But angst will steadily grow, as people realize their leaders are incapable of addressing their mounting problems. 

¹² National and global leaders will recall the tremendous amounts of wealth that will have been accumulated in Jerusalem during The Lord’s reign. They will seek to learn what will have happened to it all. 

¹³ When they learn that trove of wealth largely remains in Jerusalem, save small amounts that will have been pilfered by former saints who left the city, they will devise a plan of attack to seize all of it, purportedly ‘for the people’.  

¹⁴ They will coordinate and develop their plan among themselves, in secret. It will include tight safeguards to protect the lion’s share for themselves. But the plan will require massive participation of as many as possible to help ensure its legitimacy.

 ¹⁵ Once finalized, they will launch their plan, which will be received with great vigor, worldwide, and will be immediately implemented. Unimaginable fears will arise in the hearts of the saints in Jerusalem, and some of them will defect, capturing ‘my fair share’ of the accumulated wealth. 

¹⁶ As the masses gather for their final attack on Jerusalem, suddenly, their lives will come to a blazing end, as fire from Heaven engulfs them completely! Not one person is left standing. Faith surges among the remaining saints, as they recall this seems like what they learned about how The Lord ended Armageddon over a thousand years earlier! *

¹⁷ Instantaneously, they will find themselves standing in an immeasurable multitude of peoples, standing in an unknown place. The will see people who had died during The Millennial Reign and the post-Millennial Reign ages, people who had displayed no faith and commitment to The Lord. The wise among those saints will understand this will be The Lord’s promised, final, global resurrection and rapture event. It will be the first one involving a massive mix of all sinners who will have ever lived across the ages of history, plus His few, faithful saints from the last 2 ages of history.

¹⁸ Shortly after their arrival in that place, they all will see The Lord, sitting on His GREAT WHITE THRONE, with stacks of books to His right and left, and a small book in front of Him—The Book of Eternal Life He will use to sift His few, faithful saints from among that throng of peoples. 

¹⁹ In very short order, His judgment proceedings will be over. He will cast all sinners who will have ever lived, into His brimstone-lit lake of fire, stretched across the southern hemisphere of the new, eternal Earth. There, they will join the anti-Christ and his prophet/prime minister who will have been cast therein, as immortal humans, at the end of the apocalypse—well over a thousand years earlier! There, they will also be joined by the entirety of satan’s kingdom of devils and demons, plus hell and death, itself.

²⁰ The Lord’s faithful saints will join Him and all of His saints from across the 6 ages of human history, in glorious celebrations for having successfully graduated from His ‘salvation internship’ program. They all will forever inhabit either His planned nations (for Gentiles), or the New Jerusalem (for Jews) in the northern hemisphere of The Lord’s MASSIVE, new Earth, with freedom to move between these two MASSIVE, GLORIOUS zones.

²¹ The Lord will keep His Psalm 91:6 promise to all of His faithful saints. He will allow them ‘to see the reward of the wicked’—every sinner from across the ages of human history, who will have lived and died in various forms of rebellion against Him. There, across the vast expanse of the brimstone-lit lake of fire, they will be in fiery torment forever—weeping dry tears and gnashing real teeth in their resurrected, immortal, tripartite bodies—spirit, soul and body, reunited.

²² The Lord will then keep His promise to Isaiah that, after seeing the reward of the wicked, His saints will have no remembrance of that, the most awful of scenes!
