Gods 7000 year Plan for Mankind:

Genesis 1:27 Adam was created in 3972.5 BC subtracted back from 586 BCE::
Gen 5:3 Seth +130, Gen 5:6 Enoch +105, Gen 5:9 Kenan +90, Gen 5:12 Mahalalel +70, Gen 5:15 Jared +65, Gen 5:18 Enoch +162, Gen 5:21 Methuselah +65, Gen 5:25 Lamech +187, Gen 5:28 Noah+182, Gen 7:6 The Flood came when Noah was +600, Gen 11:10 Our year 2314.5 BC

Arpachshad +2 - born to Shem after the flood. Gen 11:12 Selah +35, Gen 11:14 Heber +30, Gen 11:16 Peleg +34, Gen 11:18 Reu +30, Gen 11:20 Serug +32, Gen 11:22 Nahor +30 , Gen 11:24 Terah +29, Gen 11:26 Abram +70, Abram was +54 when God called him and they left Ur. Our year 1968.5 BCE He lived in Haran for 21 years, then moved to Canaan at age 75. Genesis 12:4 Total years so far = 2000

Gen 17:1, Abraham was 99 when the Covenant was made with God. +47 Genesis 17:1-8
Galatians 3:17 Paul states that the Law was given +430 after the Covenant. Total years elapsed until the Exodus – 2477, in our year 1493.5 BC.

1 Kings 6:1 The Temple construction starts, in the 4th year of King Solomon +480 since the Torah was given at the Exodus.. 1 Kings 11:42 Solomon 40 minus 4 = +36, 1 Kings 14:21 Rehoboam +17, 1 Kings 15:2 Abijah +3, 2 Chron 16:13 Asa +41, 1 Kings 22:42 Jehoshaphat +25, 2 Kings 8:17 Jehoram +8, 2 Kings 8:26 Ahaziah +1, 2 Kings 11:1-3 Athaliah +6, 2 Kings 12:1 Joash +40, 2 Kings 14:2 Amaziah +29, 2 Kings 15:1-2 Azariah +52, 2 Kings 15:33 Jotham +16, 2 Kings 16:2 Ahaz +16, 2 Kings 18:1-2 Hezekiah +29, 2 Kings 21:1 Manasseh +55, 2 Kings 21:19 Amon +2, 2 Kings 22:1 Josiah +31, 2 Kings 23:31 Jehoahaz +3mths, 2 Kings 23:36 Jehoiakim +11, 2 Kings 24:8 Jehoichin +3mths, 2 Kings 24:18-20 Zedekiah +11, who ruled until the Babylonian captivity in our year of 586 BC.
Total elapsed years to the first exile of Judah = 3386.5

586 BC + 613.5 years comes to 27.5 AD, the date Jesus commenced His Ministry, Luke 3:1-2a
3386.5 + 613.5 = 4000 years from Adam to Jesus.

June 2026 AD - 27.5/30 AD = 1,998.5 years of the 2000 years for the present Church age have passed, leaving only 1.5 years before it is completed. This leaves not enough time for all the things Prophesied from Revelation 6:12 to 19-10, to take place before Jesus Returns.

However, the solution to this impasse is simple: The Christian age ends when Satan empowers a world ruler, as Daniel 7:23-25, Revelation 13:1-17, +, vividly describe.
We do not know the date when the Lord will send His punishment of the Sixth Seal, or the time after that for the establishment of a One World Government, which the new Christian nation of Beulah will not be part of. Isaiah 62:1-5, 66:7-8

The Prophesies tell us how Satan will conquer the Holy peoples of God and will desecrate Gods Temple, 2 Thess 2:4 and have world control for the final three and a half years before Jesus Returns.
Therefore, the period between the Sixth Seal worldwide disaster and the glorious Return of King Jesus, must be at least 15+ years. Actually; the Seventh Seal informs us that the time when heaven keeps silent is about a half hour in heaven. This is easily calculated from the given formula in Psalms 90:4 and 2 Peter 3:8. – 1/48th of a day in heaven and 1/48th of a thousand years, equals about 15-20 years earth time.

There are 3 tranches of 2000 years, when God prepares mankind and Satan has his time of world power, as the final testing of our faith, then comes the 1000 year reign of King Jesus.
Then the final wrap up and the Great White Throne judgement of all peoples who have ever lived.

Revelation 22...I saw a new Heaven and a new Earth and the Holy City, made ready like a bride... A new Beginning!

God’s 7000 year plan for the earth’s inhabitants is now approaching the 6000 year point. There were 4000 years from Adam to the commencement of Jesus’ Ministry.

Luke 13:32 Listen, today and tomorrow, I shall be driving out demons and working cures
and on the third day, I shall attain My goal.
This must be a prophecy, as in the next verse Jesus says;
Luke 13:33 However, I must go on My way this day, tomorrow and the next, then meet My death in Jerusalem.

A matching prophecy is in Hosea 6:2 After two days He will revive us, on the third, He will restore us, that we may live in His presence. So, there are two “days” that the people of the world must wait until Jesus Returns to His Kingdom and restores us. Just before that, His people are ‘revived ‘ by going to live in the holy Land. Ezekiel 34:11-31 In Psalms 90:4 and 2 Peter 3:8 A thousand years are as one day in the Lords sight.

As to where Jesus is now, we can’t know what is happening in the heavenly realms, but, there are many instances of Jesus appearing to people who cry out to Him, He promises to be with us spiritually and He performs miraculous healings.

John 5:17 My Father is always at work, to this very day and I too am working.

John 14:23 Anyone who loves Me will heed what I say.... we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.

Matthew 28:20 ... Observe all that I have commanded you and I will be with you always, to the end of time.

We have five possible ways of discerning the year when the Lord will appear in His glory and commence His Millennial reign.
Two thousand years from 27.5 CE, the Christian Age begins. Then 3 1/2 years to His death and resurrection in 30 CE.

1. The 7th year of the Sabbath year cycle falls on 2029/30 CE.
2. 2030 is the 40th Jubilee year from 70 CE.

4. Ezekiel 4:6..40 year exile decreed for Judah. Multiplied by 7x7 – Leviticus 26:23 & 27 and confirmed by Isaiah 40:2. Equals 1960 years. From 70 CE + 1960 = 2030
5. Logic: The world staggers on in its apostate and wicked ways. The many prophesied events still to occur before His Return must take place.

Isaiah 46:10, Amos 3:7 and Revelation 1:1, state that the Lord reveals His plans to His servants.
It follows, therefore, that we, as His servants, by diligently searching His word, can find out and be warned of dramatic future events, to happen before the Return.

God’s Plan for our Time:
As the years pass by, we may wonder what it is that the Lord has next for His creation. We know the story of how He destroyed an early civilization by the means of a great flood. Jesus prophesied that in the time of the end it will again be ‘as in the days of Noah’. We can’t know how bad that civilization was, but it seems they just got on with life much the same as we do today. From God’s point of view, their problem was they failed to acknowledge Him or respect His Laws, so their Creator simply wiped them out and virtually started over again, just like anything made that turns out defective is remoulded, or with breeding; try a new bloodline. Isaiah 64:8, Jeremiah 18:6-7, Romans 9:20-21

So are the world’s people today as bad as those in Noah’s day? It seems likely, as evidenced by the decline in moral standards and the widespread disbelief in the Creator God. Jeremiah 6:18-19, Psalms 10:13, Ezekiel 20:39

Several Bible verses tell us that God the Creator takes a keen interest in what is happening on earth. Revelation 2:23b, Job 34:21-22, Proverbs 15:3, Psalms 11:4-5, Jer. 32:18-19 In our perfectly balanced and organised universe, He is playing out a drama, a set piece carefully orchestrated and arranged so that each player can choose their own role. Each person is given a conscience; a moral intuition to be aware of what is right and what is wrong, so we all make our choices as to how we live our lives.

Today, the whole world is in a precarious state, with a population of over 8 billion. There is the capacity to produce enough food and provide a reasonable lifestyle for that many, but not the altruistic desire to do so and human mismanagement exacerbates the problems. Therefore the situation deteriorates, life is difficult and short for most and only relatively few live a good and fulfilling life, while most people do not acknowledge the one true God or keep His Laws. Over 100 Bible prophesies say how God will judge the world and punish His enemies, to once again ‘reset civilization’. Deuteronomy 32:35, Psalms 18:7-15, Isaiah 2:12, Isaiah 30:25-28, Habakkuk 3:12, Zephaniah 3:8, Hebrews 10:27, 2 Thess. 1:8, Jeremiah 23:19-20, Revelation 14:17-20

Note that most of the prophesies about the great Day of the Lord’s vengeance and wrath, which is the next prophesied event we can expect: being the fulfilment of Psalms 83, Micah 4:11-12, Rev. 6:12-17, state that this time He will use fire to ‘set the heavens ablaze, the earth will be enveloped in flames and all that is in it will be brought to judgement’. 2 Peter 3:7, Isaiah 30:25-28, Malachi 4:1, Isaiah 66:15-16, Zephaniah 3:8

But the Lord’s people have a Powerful Advocate, He promises to protect and save His righteous people. Jer. 50:33-34, Isa. 51:16, Nahum 1:7, Psalms 60:4-5, Zech. 9:15-16
They will go to live in all of the holy Land; Isaiah 35, Ezekiel 34:11-16, Romans 9:24-26

Psalms 30:1-5 I shall exalt You Lord, for You have lifted me up and not let enemies prevail. I cried out to You and You healed me, You saved my life as I was sinking into the abyss. Sing praises to the Lord, all you His loyal servants, give thanks to His holy name. In His anger there is punishment, but in His favour there is life. There may be distress at nightfall, but the morning will bring rejoicing.

God’s Plan for His Creation
The reality is that the Bible is the only reliable guide that we have, discount it and you are in the mire of guesswork and conjecture. The Bible gives us the right way to live and does have a lot of prophecy, some accurately fulfilled, some still future. The prophet Daniel 12:9-10, says that some will be kept secret and sealed till the end time, but those who discount mans teachings, seeking the truth and studying the Word with an open mind, will understand. Matthew 11:25-26

Isaiah prophesied about 75 generations ago; Isaiah 24:1 Be warned, the Lord is about to lay waste to the earth, to devastate it and scatter its inhabitants.
By now, perhaps 1 billion people will have read this prophesy and it never happened to them. Why should we think it could happen to this generation?

There are several possibilities that could bring about a worldwide disaster: a nuke war, a comet strike, earthquakes, volcanoes, a Coronal Mass Ejection, etc. Everyone can see that there will soon have to be some kind of severe shakeup to resolve the intractable issues that face us today.

With Bible prophesy, I have found that it is necessary to clear the mind of humanistic ideas and look at it from what God’s purpose might be:
1/ God created everything. Genesis 1:1, Isaiah 66:1-2

2/ He does have a plan for His creation. Psalms 33:11

3/ That plan seems to be the formation of a group of beings like Himself, who freely choose to love and serve Him. Isaiah 43:10

4/ Those who refuse to acknowledge Him, may face destruction. Deuteronomy 7:10, Romans 9:22-29

God’s plan involved choosing one righteous man, Abraham, who demonstrated real faith in God and using his descendants to be a nation that would be ‘a light to the nations’, showing everyone the right way to live. Unfortunately, the Israelites did not do this and they divided into two nations and both were into exiled from the Holy Land. The return of Judah has started, still to be completed, but all of Israel is at present still scattered among the nations. When their decreed punishment of exile, is completed very soon, as we are told in Ezekiel 4:4-5 and Leviticus 26:18, then all the twelve tribes, including people from every race, nation and language, will be able to go and live in their heritage, in peace and prosperity. Isaiah 35:1-10, Ezekiel 34:11-31, Romans 9:24-26. Revelation 7:9

The Lord’s Holy Land, Deut. 11:12 must be cleared and cleansed; at the first Exodus the people were tasked to do that, Deut. 6:19 but they failed to complete the job and the remaining inhabitants induced the Israelites into idolatry. This time, the Lord Himself will punish His enemies and clear all the area promised to the Patriarchs. Deuteronomy 32:34-43, 2 Chronicles 7:14, Ezekiel 30:1-5 and the more than 100 prophesies that describe the forthcoming Lord’s Day of vengeance and wrath, a worldwide judgement/punishment by fire that will fulfil Psalms 83:1-18, Isaiah 24:1-23, and the Sixth Seal of Revelation 6:12-17.

Then, the Lord’s faithful Christian peoples will live in the Land, being all that He originally planned for them, but the rest of the world – slowly recovering from this terrible fire punishment, will form a One World government.

Ecclesiasticus 36:1-17 Look on us with pity, Lord God of all and strike fear into every nation. Lift Your hand against the heathen and let them see Your power. Let them learn the truth, that there is no God but You, the Creator of all things.

Renew Your signs, repeat Your miracles and win glory for Your mighty Right Hand. Rouse Your anger, pour out Your wrath to destroy the godless and wipe out the enemy. Remember the Day You have appointed and hasten it on to give us cause to recount Your great deeds and wonders.

Let Your burning wrath devour the oppressors of Your people, let all those who say: ‘No one counts but us’, meet their doom.

Have pity Lord on your people, called by Your Name, righteous Israel, Your firstborn. Show mercy to the city of Your sanctuary, to the city of Jerusalem, Your dwelling place. Gather now all the tribes of Jacob and grant them their inheritance, as You promised to the Patriarchs. Fill Zion with the praise of Your triumph and the Temple with Your glory. Acknowledge those You prepared from the beginning and fulfil the prophecies spoken in Your name. Prove Your prophets worthy of credence, so that what they said in ancient times will come to pass. Reward those who look to You in trust, listen to the prayers of Your servants, those who claim Aaron’s blessing on Your people. Leviticus 9:22

Let all who live on earth acknowledge that You are the Lord, the eternal God.

People are becoming more and more apprehensive about the future, as we experience a proliferation of natural disasters, with increasing political and economic problems, coupled with shortages of food and resources, mostly due to overpopulation.

But, the most obvious and the prophesied flash point of danger is the Middle East. The very existence of the State of Israel in their midst is an anathema to all the Islamic peoples. Psalms 83 lists the origins of those people who will conspire to ‘wipe out Israel as a nation’. When their attack commences, God will then answer the prayer of Psalms 83:13-18 Scatter them, my God, like thistledown, as a fire raging through the forest. Terrify them with Your storm winds, let them suffer disgrace and perish.

Many prophecies state how the Lord will act on this Day of His vengeance and wrath:

Micah 4:11-12 But now, many nations are massed against you, they say; Let Zion suffer, we will gloat over her downfall. They do not know God’s purpose – He has gathered them as sheaves for the threshing. Matthew 3:12

Psalms 37:13-15 The Lord will laugh at the wicked, their judgement is coming. They have prepared their weapons, but their swords will pierce their own hearts.

Isaiah 66:15-16 See: The Lord is coming in fire, bringing His retribution and anger. He will judge with fire and sword to test all mankind. All the wicked will die.

Deuteronomy 32:41-42 I will sharpen My flashing sword and take vengeance on those who hate Me. Nahum 1:2

Malachi 4:1 The Day comes, burning like a furnace, all evildoers will be as stubble, destroyed in a fiery blaze. 2 Peter 3:7, Hebrews 10:27

Isaiah 30:26-33 The sun will shine with seven times its normal brightness. On that Day He will protect and save His people. See; the Lord Himself comes from afar, His anger blazing and His doom heavy. With fire, He sieves the nations for destruction. Isaiah 63:1-6, Rev. 6:12-17
Ref: REB, some verses condensed.

There are many other Bible passages that describe this Day. What we can establish from them is;

1/ It is this event that takes people unawares – that ‘comes as a thief’. Much later, for the glorious Return of Jesus, we are given the exact time from certain events.

2/ It will be a worldwide event, of 24-36 hours duration. Isaiah 29:5-6, Psalms 50:1-4

3/ The Lord will actually cause fire to destroy His enemies, by the means of a CME sunstrike. Their own weapons will contribute to their destruction, the heat flash and the intense electromagnetic pulse will make rockets and explosives detonate on the ground. Psalms 7:12-16, Joel 3:4
4/ His Righteous people will be kept safe and in a short time; Isaiah 29:17, they will gather and settle in the new country of Beulah, in all of the Holy Land: Isaiah 62:4, Isaiah 35:1-10, Jeremiah 31:7-14, Ezekiel 34:11-31
