The whole of scripture spoke of an age of promise where circumstances in nations were such that believers could gain the opportunity to have the earthly promises of God made to a thousand generations of saints fulfilled in their lives. Promises that never saw their fulfillment in the lives of those generations of saints. Along with other prophecies, Daniel chapter 2 and chapter 7 told us exactly when that age would begin. When the 4th of four Gentile empires named in scripture came to an end. The Roman Empire was the 4th and did not end until what had been its capitol since 333 AD, Constantinople was conquered and the last Roman Emperor killed in 1453 AD.
Only God truly knew what tool would finally give his people the power to overcome a world completely ruled by evil through despotic human government. What would bring about the change in peoples hearts necessary to overcome evil with good. That tool was the Bible in the hands of general population. This started happening immediately after the fall of that fourth empire. The Bible in the hands of the general population was the final instrument needed for the purpose of God relating to the promise of a world where righteousness dwells. The age hoped for by all those generations of saints that they could only sow the seeds necessary to bring it about; but could not have themselves. Then, the discovery of the America's, lands without modern empires 30 years after the after the age of the four gentile empires also provided a distant and safe haven for a Bible reading people. A base of operations from which God could spread his word which yields as its fruit the free world.
That is the good news. The bad news is his purpose in the earth has been greatly hampered by his peoples acceptance of false prophecy in the guise of end time prophecy teachings. False prophecy that by its very nature is designed to stifle the personal development necessary in individuals to enable them to accomplish all of Gods purposes in their lives. Which is service capable of overcoming evil in powerful places and grows the moral and free world. But false prophecy, just as it is designed to do, has robbed the vast majority of Gods people of the scriptural vision of the future necessary to personally developed in such a way as to be even remotely capable of doing ones part in Christ to crush the evils of our generation with good. To be that mountain of influence that is higher than all the mountains in the earth. Instead the Biblically illiterate application of the end time prophecies of the Old Covenant Age and the Age of the Four Gentile Empires to this Age of Promise as some kind of an end of the world apocalyptic scenario has caused Gods people to spiritually, intellectually and physically retreat into a false hope that Jesus will come some day and set up a physical\visible kingdom. Which of course requires nothing on their part to bring to pass.
Yet the world God did envision in his Word, prophesy about and promise requires everything from his people and those who ally themselves with them to bring to pass. It is his providence at work. We can accept the truth and the sure prophetic word of scripture and work with that. Or, we can accept false prophecy in the guise of pop culture end time teachings and reap what we sow. The wicked will reign and rule over us and seize the inheritance of the saints, which is this world, for themselves. Now I'm not saying Gods plan will fail. But I am saying he will just let generations die in the wilderness until he finds some that will trust him , trust his Word and work with him to enter into that promised land.
