Since Adam, The Lord has been ‘progressively downloading’ His insights to humanity. No one person or prophet has ever received the TOTAL PERSPECTIVE, not even The Apostle John. During each age, and the 3 stages within each of them, He reserves unique insights relevant to people at those times. I intuit this may be a repetitive pattern He might continue, even throughout the 7th, eternal age. His knowledge and wisdom is truly unlimited!
So when He revealed to me that The Bible strategically outlines His planned for 7 ages for humanity, as commanded, I faithfully shared what I then perceived. Since then, The Lord has progressively sharpen my understanding of His ages plans.
Hinge Periods
In anti-Christ Missed Insights (Part 3), and a few other posts, I note the 7 Biblically-inferred ages of history, may pivot on transition ‘hinge’ periods, a metaphor for turning points. Like door hinges—a 3-part device that allows doors and gates to pivot—ages seem to pivot across an ending age, a gap period, and a beginning age. In light of this insight, I intuit, during stressful pivots, people may be more inclined to be deceived as the familiar age has ended, and the emerging, subsequent age has yet to manifest and stabilize.
This pattern was evident when:
1. For 330 days after the flood rains had stopped, Noah and all the ark occupants had to wait patiently for the waters to recede from across the Earth, and for the Earth to dry. 1
2. For 50 days after The Lord’s crucifixion, His disciples and followers enjoyed 40 days of His presence, after which they waited 10 days for The Holy Spirit’s arrival on the Day of Pentecost. 2
With this 'progressive revelation' insight, following is the ages repetitive pattern I now perceive as applicable to the 2nd (pre-cross), 3rd (post-cross), 4th (tribulation) and 6th (post-Millennial Reign) based on the cited Bible passages:
1. New age begins and develops across its first, middle and ending stages (righteousness starts small, INCREASES, then dwindles significantly)
2. Heaven’s judgment patterns iterate across the age in response to increasing, unrepented sinfulness (localized famines, wars, wild beasts attacks, pestilences, and their associated collateral events and damages)
3. Heaven’s age-long GRACE expires, and it prepares, then releases its designated age-ending, global judgment.
4. The age-transition hinge period begins after the primary impacts of the global judgment are over (designated events are completed during the ‘post-judgment angst and fog’)
5. The subsequent age begins…(and the cycle repeats)

1 AI-derived from Genesis 7 and 8.
2 See: Acts 1:1-3, 2:1-4. Pentecost means 50 in Greek.
3 See: Revelation 6:12-17, The 6th Seal, Civilization’s Reset? (Series), and anti-Christ (Series). After the global devastation of The Lord opening the 6th seal on His scroll, imagine people across the world screaming for somebody, ANYBODY to take charge of a global recovery/rehabilitation initiative. It may take quite some time for an effective response team to be organized and initiated. Paul said we 3rd age believers are not appointed to The Lord’s wrath. Ergo, I intuit we will be resurrected/raptured during ‘cover’ that the 6th seal event will provide.
4 See: Hasty Jewish Migrations (Series), Zephaniah 3:8-13, and Zechariah 13:8-9.
5 With only 2 people on Earth, satan was personally efficient in tempting/deceiving Eve. His entire kingdom might be much more challenged when it will be released from its thousand year captivity at the end of the Millennial Reign age, to deceive and tempt a new, global population familiar with ‘enforced righteousness’, but not with demonic pressures! In Age-ending Stock Taking (5th Age), I imagine a 5th age-ending versions of Genesis 6—the pivotal, pre-flood chapter that signaled the pending end of the 1st age.
6 See: Revelation 20:11-15, and Bible Raptures – Types and Timings (Series). Revelation 20:5-6 defines ‘the first resurrection’, not as an event, as we might think, but as the composite group of saints who will have been resurrected from across the first 4 ages of human history, via events at the ends of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th ages of history. They will be The Lord’s immortal saints who will reign with Him during His Millennial Reign as Earth’s global KING. The Bible does not define a ‘second resurrection’. Rather, it defines the last/final resurrection/rapture just before The Great White Throne judgment event. That last resurrection/rapture will include deceased and alive:
(a) All righteous saints who will have died, and those still alive during the last 2 ages of history. That will be the first joint saints/sinners resurrection/rapture event, ands
(b) Every unrepentant sinners from across the 6 ages of human history on this current version of Earth.
