Did God set this up?

[Yies1]

Did you know that from the time of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to
the time of Jesus was approximately 2000yrs?
Did you know that from the time of Jesus until present times,
is approximately 2000yrs?

What I will attempt to do is to compare the 2000yrs of the
Jewish history (from the time of Jacob), with the 2000yrs of
Christian history (from the time of Jesus), and see what
emerges.


Jacob - 12 sons - 70 members of his family.
The Isrealites....
Expressed their faith in God by....
Observing the Sabbath,
By the right of cicumcision,
And by making offerings. (Animal Sacrifices).
The Isrealites suffered for 400 yrs under Egyptians.
At the end of this 400yrs, Moses gave 'laws' to the Isrealites,
on which the Jewish foundation was based.
Then began a period of approximately 400yrs, when the
Isrealites were ruled by Judges. In this 400yr period of
Judges, the social system was a system of feudalism, and the
Judges played the role of, Prophet, Priest and King.
At the end of the period of Judges, the people were crying out
for a King. It was at this point that the Prophet Samuel
anointed the first King of Isreal, Saul.
Thus began a period of 'The United Kingdom of Isreal', which
lasted for 120yrs.
Due to Solomons failure, the Kingdom was divided into North
(Isreal), and South (Judah), thus beginning a 400yr period of
the divided Kingdoms of Isreal.
At the end of this 400yr period, the Babylonians captured and
exiled Jewish leaders within Babylon. This period of Jewish
exile lasted for 210yrs, before their return to Jerusalem.
From this point on, the Jewish people entered a final period of
400yrs in preparation for the coming of the Messiah.
Thus began the great reformation movement within Judeism. Of
who the most noted reformer was the prophet Malachi, who urged
the people to go back to the laws of Moses.

------------------------------

Jesus - 12 Apostels - 70 Disciples
The Christians....
Expressed their faith in God by....
Observing the Sabbath.
By the right of Baptisim,
And by their offerings. (not animal sacrifices, but Martyrs).
The Christians suffered for 400 yrs under the Romans.
At the end of the 400yrs, St Augustine gave the book 'The City
of God' on which the Christian foundation was based.
Then began a period of approximately 400yrs, when the
Christians were ruled by Church Patriarchs. In this 400yr
period of Church Patriarchs, the social system was a system of
feudalism, and the Church Patriarchs played the role of,
Prophet, Priest and to some extent King. It was at this point
that the Pope, (Pope Leo III) anointed the first Emperor of
Christianity, Charlemagne.
Thus began a period of 'The United Kingdom of Christianity',
which lasted for 120yrs.
Due to Charlemagne's grandsons arguing among themselves, the
Kingdom was divided into East and West. (East
Franks; 'Germany', and West Franks; 'France'). Thus beginning
a 400yr period of the divided Kingdom of Christianity.
At the end of this 400yr period, the King of France captured
and exiled The Pope (Clement V) to Avignon in Southern France.
This period of Papel exile lasted for 210yrs, before the return
of a single Pope to Rome.
From this point on, the Christian people have entered a final
period of 400yrs in preparation for the 2nd coming of the
Messiah.
Then began a great reformation movement within Christianity. Of
who the most noted reformer was Martin Luther (1517), who urged
the church to go back to the original ways of St Augustine and
his 'City of God'.

This sounds like it belongs in Eschatology, just MHO.
