Time line comes from the beginning of the bible to the end, God begins with Gen 1:1 and the first division ends with Noah as the first division of the old testament. With the comming of John the Baptist the second division of the old testament ends. And as you go though the bible you can record the time devisions and know what time period you are in, this has aided in my study.

It kind of sounds like dispensationalism, where God interacts with man in specific ways during that period. This timeline is more broad though. I do agree that verse placement is very important to a correct interpretation.

“It shall greatly help ye to understand the Scriptures if thou mark not
only what is spoken or written, but of whom and to whom, with what
words, at what time, where, to what intent, with what circumstances,
considering what goeth before and what followeth after.”
― Miles Coverdale (1488-1569)

This is similar to an article on the blog archive at christianpioneer.com called Plan F

Plan “F”? ​

God created heaven and earth perfect. This was plan “A” When Satan’s pride led him to rebel against God and take a third of the angles with him, God had plan “B”. When Adam and Eve sinned, plan “C” went into effect. However, just a few generations after Adam and Eve people became so wicked (amplified by angelic interference) that the world was destroyed with a flood and only eight people were saved. This brought us to plan “D”. However, with the Tower of Babble, it was apparent that a more direct means of getting people to know about their creation, God, and the need for faith a plan “E” was needed. The nation of Israel was supposed to be a nation of priests who would bring the knowledge of God to the whole world.​ God put an awful lot of work into plan “E”. The Old Testament of the bible is almost all about What Israel was supposed to do, promises to Israel about the future, and a continual record of their disregard for God. Sending Jesus as the promised Messiah was the culmination of the plan of God to offer a way back to eternal life that was lost by Adam and Eve. Since Israel did not accept the kingdom offered by Jesus at his ministry to the nation, dramatic circumstances will be brought on earth such that a faithful remnant of Israel will be persuaded to received the kingdom. However, this cataclysmic event will not happen until after plan “F” has run its course.​ The nation of Israel was supposed to receive the gospel of the kingdom and her king, Jesus, and subsequently bring the knowledge of God to the world. This knowledge instead was spread by those through the gospel of the grace of God introduced by Paul who was called to be an apostle to the gentiles. This might be called plan “F”. When the full number of the gentiles come in, plan “G” would be established where Jesus returns to earth and rules as king from Jerusalem for 1,000 years.​ These various plans are not the result of God not having control (being all knowing he knew that we would fall short), but of his allowing humans and angles to have free will. The angels were created all at once and with knowledge. They made their choice all at once. Humans are born sequentially and in ignorance. As a result, God endures the evils that result from bad choices until he can harvest a “crop” of those that surrender to his will.​ Some call these “plans” covenants or dispensations. However, these names can be misleading. The world “plan” can also be misleading. It does convey that God is in charge, however, it fails to convey that they might better be called opportunities. Each of these “plans” demonstrate that no matter what the circumstances, most people will ultimately reject God and seek to go their own way. God structured our redemption to be based on faith (trust). Trust is given to that which is true. Israel would keep their laws when they trusted God as a demonstration of faith. Today with plan “F” those who trust in Jesus and his payment on the cross for our sins are regenerated unto the eternal life that is in Christ, can have the Holy Spirit make them better people, and have access to the wisdom of God..​ Rom 11:12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?​

Do you think there could be any future, additional plans? If so, could that mean that things written around the time of Christ might not carry for all time? Just like the covenant with in Moses' time was later changed?

Do you think there could be any future, additional plans?

In 1 Kings 19 God tells Elijah not to worry about God's plans by thinking he is the only one left and they are trying to kill him. God tells him he has 7,000 people he can use. God suggested to Moses that he could kill of the nation of Israel and make a new nation out of him. We are told that God can raise up children for Abraham out of rocks. There does not seem much that can limit God.

God gave us free will. Satan made the mistake of thinking he could outfox God and carve out a kingdom for himself. I suspect that there is nothing in the realm of free will that can limit God.
