Future

7000 years in a nutshell

Don't you know? Haven't you heard?
An eternal God is the LORD,
creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not grow weary, He does not become exhausted,

His insight cannot be fathomed.

Isaiah 40:28

Past

(1) 4000 BC: Man enters into a covenant with the devil in the Garden of Eden based on distrust of God. However, the seed of the woman becomes the thread by which God redeems man and destroys the devil (Genesis 3:15)

(2) The devil gradually gains more and more influence and eventually angels have intercourse with women, which contaminates human DNA and gives man enormous power (Genesis 6:1-4). 2400 BC: God prevents total defeat (thwarting his plan with ‘the seed of the woman’) by bringing a flood upon the earth and saving the still DNA-pure Noah and his sons (Genesis 6:9)

(3) Yearning for the old world and the enormous powers that lay within it, man, after the flood, builds the Tower of Babel in imitation of Nimrod (Genesis 10:8-10) (whose top reaches to heaven – ‘let us make a name for ourselves on earth’ – (Genesis 11:4). God thwarts man’s plans by confusing the language (Genesis 11:7,8). Since then, the religion of the world empires has been born in ‘the great Babylon’ (Revelation 17), which revolves around contact between man and the world of gods (demons). In our time, the ‘gods’ take the form of so-called aliens. However, these are the ancient ones demons/idols. There is nothing new under the sun.

(4) 2000 BC: God sets apart a man from the wayward nations of the world and reveals Himself to him, Abraham (Acts 7:1-3, Genesis 12:1-3).

(5) 1500 BC: From Abraham eventually comes the people of Israel, who are ‘born as a people and bound to God’ in the 'exodus' under Moses, the deliverance from Egypt (Exodus 3:7-10). Unfortunately, from the very beginning, the people of Israel have repeatedly had the tendency to return to the god-world of the nations around them. The people must be brought back to the right path by God again and again (Judges 2:11-19).

(6) 600 BC: For nearly 900 years, Israel was given the opportunity by God to prove faithful to Him, but they did the opposite, and God gave the people, Jerusalem, and the temple into the hands of the world empires, which have since ruled the earth (2 Kings 25:8-12). God shows Daniel the course of these world empires. A total of four would arise: Babylon – Media/Persia – Greece – Rome (Daniel 2:2:36-44, 7:17-27).

(7) Under that last world empire, ‘the seed of the woman’ is finally born, the Christ, who saves the world and every individual in it who chooses Him from total destruction (John 3:16, Romans 3:23-26). In full accordance with the Scriptures of the prophets, Israel rejects its own Messiah by nailing Him to the cross in cooperation with Rome (Mt. 26:56, Acts 2:23). God seizes upon this monstrous act of betrayal to lay the foundation for His plan of redemption for mankind in the sacrifice of Christ. (Rom. 11:32-36).

(8) God raises the Messiah from the grave. The Messiah of Israel is the only perfect Man who ever lived and also the Eternal Son in Whose form God Himself came to dwell among people (Rom. 1:4). After his resurrection, Israel is given another chance to repent and accept Jesus as the Messiah. But the leadership of the people chooses to reject this offer and persecute the disciples (Acts 8:1).

 

Present

(9) From that moment on, salvation goes out to all the nations of the world. It is the apostle Paul who plays a very important role in this. God has started something new, Israel has played out its role for the time being, and from the first century onwards, God builds the church from all the nations of the world (Mt. 16:18, Acts 15:14-16, 28:28 Rom. 11:11-15, Eph. 3:1-6).

(10) The devil becomes cast down to earth after a war in heaven, and wages war against 'the woman', the people from whom Christ came (Revelation 12:9, 13). He does this by means of the world empire (Revelation 13:1-8), centered on the United States of America, which is completely under his control. We assume that this is currently the situation: the devil banished from heaven, waging war against God's people by means of the world empire. The Palestinians are closer to the original Israel than European Jews, who have mixed more with other peoples. However, because Palestinians are predominantly Muslims, they are considered Arabs.

 

Future

(11) There will come a moment, an indivisible instant, when God will raise all believers from all previous times from the graves or change them into an imperishable state if they are alive at that moment. These 'who have fallen asleep in Christ' and those who will be 'alive in Christ' will be moved by God to heaven. This event lies still in the future and is known as the ‘rapture of the church’ (1 Thess. 4:13-18, 1 Cor. 15:51-53).

(12) The rapture of the church, together with the Spirit of God dwelling in her, causes a spiritual vacuum for a short time, which is immediately filled from the realm of darkness (1 Thess. 5:1-30). Opposite the realm of darkness, however, God places a completely new testimony through a powerful working of His Spirit (Revelation 5:6), which after a short time is formed primarily with Israelites. These are saved in a supernatural way from the power of the world empire and come to repentance en masse because they see the Lord, just as was once the case with Paul (Revelation 6:1,2, Rev. 12:14-16, Zechariah 12:10-14). They are the 144,000 sealed from 12 tribes. From their work as converted Israelites (Matthew 24:14) comes forth an innumerable multitude of disciples of the kingdom (Revelation 7:4-17).

(13) A third world war is necessary to bring about the point where virtually all nations are subjected to the world power of the West (Seals 2-5 of Revelation 6). This world war is provoked by the world leader of the West by sitting in a sacred mosque, while claiming that he is God himself (the abomination that brings desolation - 2 Thess. 2:3,4, Mt. 24:15, Daniel 9:27). The world war has disastrous consequences for large parts of mankind (Revelation 6:3-11). From heaven, God tempers the power of the world empire by means of enormous catastrophes, under the sixth seal and the first four trumpets (Revelation 6:12-17, Revelation 8:7-12). Then, with trumpets 5 and 6, God accommodates man's age-old desire to re-establish contact with the demonic world. Satan, cast out of heaven, releases the demons who had been imprisoned in 'the pit of the abyss' since the time before the Flood (Revelation 9:1-11, cf. Revelation 12:9, Isaiah 14:12, Luke 10:18). The disaster that follows is incalculable. Aided by demonic powers, the world leader establishes a worldwide control system based on payment transactions. The system consists of a digital copy of the world empire (image of the beast) in which everything is tracked in real time based on a continuous scan of the mark of the beast, which everyone is required to take. At the same time, there is a powerful preaching from (a) the 144,000 (Revelation 7:3-8), (b) two witnesses in Jerusalem (Revelation 11:3-12) and (c) three angels (Revelation 14:6-12), all of whom earnestly warn against 'the mark of the beast and the worship of the beast'.

(14) Three and a half years after the start of (13), the returning Jesus puts an end to the cooperation between man and the demon world as well as the idolatrous craving for it for 1,000 years and He establishes a kingdom of peace in which justice, peace and happiness reign for a thousand years. The devil is imprisoned in the abyss (Revelation 19:19-20:3). (14) After a thousand years, the devil is released for a short time and a worldwide rebellion against God arises. All rebels are eliminated for good and the devil is cast into the lake of fire. All the dead who had not risen before rise and are judged by God on the basis of their works. If they rejected God’s plan of salvation, this means the absolute end in the lake of fire (Revelation 20:7-15). Nowhere, however, is there any mention of eternal torment. After a short and very intense suffering, one ceases to exist. That is why the Bible calls this lake of fire ‘the second death’. Those who wish to escape it are invited by God to repent and believe in His Son, Jesus Christ, and His work of redemption.

‘God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life’ (John 3:16). This eternal life concerns the ages and ages about which the Bible speaks in very many places. An unknown number of coming ages under the blessed rule of God.

Kingdom of God after kingdom of satan

History is led by the Father in the paths that lead up to the glorification of his Son in front of the whole world. That will be an unprecedented demonstration of power and overwhelming glory, that no AI-video is able to conjecture, in which all of the world's armies will be completely destroyed, the empire will be slain to never again stand up and the heavenly Jerusalem, will descend on the spot of the present empire, North America. Eternal glory and peace will fill the earth and every individual will know the Lord as He has never been known. Until that happens, history will turn totally dark with the empire establishing total tyranny after Iran is tricked into invading Israel and completely destroying it. The proxy will be sacrificed on the altar of world hegemony.
