A chronology of the Three Earth Ages.

This is a "Readers Digest" view  (for want of a better term) of the Plan of the Ages so to speak.  It is the whole of Biblical events in one short order, It is a chronology in chart form of the Three Earth Ages.  And a chart of the origins of all the different peoples and races on this planet and the lineage through which came the Messiah, our Savior Jesus Christ.

THE FIRST EARTH AGE

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" [Gen 1:1]

The destruction of the first Earth Age:

2 Pet 3:5-6
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: (KJV)

*NOTE: This is not talking about the flood of Noah's time. Noah and his family survived that deluge, but below we see that no one survived the destruction of the First Earth Age (Katabole). See WHEN WAS THEE BEGINNING

Jer 4:23-27
23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.
27 For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end. (KJV)

Some events from the First Earth Age documented in Scripture:

• In the First Earth age all of our souls lived in spiritual bodies (not flesh).  It was in this First Earth Age that the Dinosaurs lived (no longer present in this our current Second Earth Age). "Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him." [Job 40:15-19].

• Satan (then called Lucifer) leads a coup attempt (overthrow) to dethrone God and take His place as God. "An enemy hath done this." {Mt 13:28a}.  Satan (as the son of perdition - the antichrist) will make another attempt to unseat God in our present Second Earth Age. This is given as one of the final signs before the Second Advent of Jesus Christ: "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God." [II Th 2:3-4].  This is the antichrist, the impostor, who is satan under another name and in another role.  Satan will come to this earth first claiming to be the True Messiah prior to the Second Advent of the true Messiah Jesus Christ.  Of course he is not and does lie and is of the synagogue of satan. "I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan." [Rev 2:9].  The Bible prophesies that this second overthrow attempt (by deception) will also fail.

• One-third of the souls created joined satan in the coup and battled against God and His Election. "And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven" [Rev 12:4].

• Two-thirds of the souls were indifferent and did not make a stand for either side.  God is not fond of those who do not stand up for the truth.  The reason being that satan will deceive the world with flatteries not war. "And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries." [Dan 11:21].  In our churches today, over-tolerance is diluting the Word of God and allowing satan's false religions to creep into Christianity.  Among many many other examples of the diluting of commands of God, Just one example of this is that instead of Christians refraining from perversion, the so-called false preachers are creating entire congregations for homosexuals embracing the activities the God commanded that should not be done.  "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." [Lev 18:22]}.  They even dare to raise the standard (flag) of 'gay-pride' in the house of God (the multi-colored gay banner).  

  • It is by tactics like these that satan will so blur the lines between good and evil, right and wrong, true and false, that God's truth will be lost to a deceived world.  It is that pitifully deceived world that will be led into the great apostasy of worshipping the false christ (antichrist) thinking him to be the True Messiah. "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked" [Rev 3:15-17].

• God's Election stood with God in the First Earth Age against the rebellion and they overcame.  In the end times of the Second Earth Age (our present generation), God's Election will once stand with Him against satan and his deceived minions. "But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal." [Rom 11:4]. See THE FEELING OF FRUSTRATION SOMETIMES FELT BY THE ELECT.

• First Earth Age destroyed with water. "Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished" [2nd Peter 3:6].

• Lucifer (King of ty'-rus - satan) sentenced to the Lake of Fire (eternal perdition - Hell). "Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more." [Ezek 28:18-19].  This is accomplished future yet and pre-recorded in the book of Revelation: "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever." [Rev 20:10].

        Thus the scene is set for the birth of the Second Earth Age. It is unknown what length of time transpired between the destruction of the First Earth Age and the regeneration of the Second.  But we know from science that this earth is billions of years old, and from the Bible we know that Adam was formed in the Garden of Eden 6004 years ago (from A.D. 1999).  Our current Second Earth Age began approximately 14,000 years ago, which incidentally is the same time evidenced through geology, as the time that the Great Ice Age ended and the glacial ice receded in the then re-warming earth. TRUE science and the Bible do NOT conflict. In the Bible, between the verses of [Gen 1:2a] and [Gen 1:2b] (i.e., in the middle of verse two) untold eons of time transpired.

Gen 1:1-3
1  In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [First Earth Age formed]
2a And the earth was [became] without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. [end of First Earth Age]
 [2b]   And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. [Second Earth Age begun)] 
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. [...]  (KJV)

THE SECOND EARTH AGE (our present one)

"And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters" [Gen 1:2]

• Almighty Lord God (Jehovah Elohim) and the Word (Jesus Christ before His time): "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ² The same was in the beginning with God. ³ All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." {John 1:1-3}. . . Then later, in 4 b.c. (due to error in our present Gregorian calendar): "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth" [John 1:14].
  
  • Creation of the Races (all peoples & nationalities). Called the 'sixth day' creation. "male and female created He them." [Gen 1:27].  See MANKIND; THE TWO SEPARATE 'CREATION' EVENTS.

Many generations pass, and between one-thousand to two-thousand years transpire, and then:

• Serpent in the Garden of Eden (satan). See WHAT WAS THE REAL SIN IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN?!? & THE ANTICHRIST.
  
  • Adam (4004 B.C.). Called the 'eighth day creation'. "and the Lord God formed man of the dust" [Gen 2:7]. In the Hebrew language, when you say adam you are saying man, thus, man-kind in English would be something like adam-kind in Hebrew. But there is 'a man' and then there is 'the Man'. The word 'man' as used here in [Gen 1:27] translates to: 'eth-'Ha'adham: with the article and the particle in the original Hebrew Manuscripts = (this very same man Adam). From Adam comes the Adamic race, and the seed-line through which would come the Savior Jesus Christ 4000 years later. See MANKIND; THE TWO SEPARATE 'CREATION' EVENTS.
    
  • Eve (from Adam) [Gen 2:22] In Hebrew, Eve translates to: Living, life-spring. "Mother of all living" [Gen 3:20] (through Christ, her blood descendant, all can have everlasting live - Thus, the mother of all living (eternal).
    
    • Cain (serpent's son) Fraternal twin #1 (different fathers) Conceived [Gen 3:6] Eve said: "The serpent beguiled me" [Gen 3:13]  Beguiled = wholly seduced (sexually as well as spiritually). From Cain comes the Kenite race. See WHAT WAS THE REAL SIN IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN?!?
      
    • Abel (Adam's son) Fraternal twin #2 (different fathers) Conceived [Gen 4:1] "and Adam knew Eve his wife" [Gen 4:1].

• Seth (born 3874 B.C.) (Adam's son) "For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel whom Cain slew" [Gen 4:25].

Many generations pass, and then:

• Noah (born 2948 B.C.) The flood of Noah was in 2347-48 B.C. Noah 600 years old. See THE FALLEN ANGELS AND THE GIANTS OF GENESIS CHAPTER SIX.

• Abraham (born 1996 B.C.). Was the father of Ishmael by Hagar the Egyptian, Isaac by Sarah, and six others by Keturah. [Gen 25:1-2]. Abraham = Father of many nations.
  
  • Ishmael, son of Abraham from Hagar (born 1910 B.C.) Half-brother of Isaac.
    
    • Arab Nations, from Ishmael. "I will multiply thy seed exceedingly" [Gen 16:10].
    • 12 Princes (of 12 Nations), from Ishmael [Gen 25:16]. Formed the Arab nations. . . .
  • Isaac , son of Abraham from Sarah (born 1896 B.C.), and father of Esau and Jacob.
    
    • Esau, son of Isaac (born 1836 B.C.) Twin of Jacob.  married "strange wives" (including Kenites) became great ancestor to many of today's so-called "Jews."  Esau became Edom, populated Petra, Jerusalem, Russia, etc.  "Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom." (Gen 36:8).
      
    • Jacob, son of Isaac (Israel) (born 1836 B.C.). Twin of Esau.
      
      • Twelve Patriarch's, from Jacob (12 fathers) of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. (Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin). The descendant of two of these Patriarchs (Judah & Levi) is Mother Mary, the Mother of the Messiah.

The Twelve Tribes split into two kingdoms:

1. The Northern kingdom called 'Israel' consists of ten tribes (Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Dan, Naphali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph,). The capitol of the Northern kingdom is Samaria. In 613 B.C. Samaria is under siege and after three years of battle Samaria is taken and becomes a province of Assyria - Israel ends and drops out of Biblical history.  But the ten tribes (Israel) migrate north over the Caucusas Mountains (hence: the name Caucasians) and settle Europe migrating west across the sea to eventually establish the Americas.  There are many good books that cover the migration of the chosen people of God (Israel), some of them from our book store are: JACOB'S PILLAR, STONEHENGE AND DRUIDISM, TRADITIONS OF GLASTONBURY, CELT, DRUID AND CULDEE, SAINT PAUL IN BRITAIN, DISCOVERY OF ANCIENT AMERICA.
   
2. The Southern kingdom called 'Judah' consists of two tribes (Judah and Benjamin). The capital of the Southern two-tribe kingdom is Jerusalem. Sannacherib, of Assyria also invades Judah in 603 B.C ...............(added note by the American Wisdom Series editor): and came up against the fenced cities of Judah and took them. II Kings 18:13. . So, therefore;  THE ONLY PART OF JUDAH LEFT FOR Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon to overthrow in his three sieges of Jerusalem 106 to 126 years latter was the capital JERUSALEM PROPER. ALL THE REST of "THE HOUSE OF JUDAH" WERE ALREADY GONE. THE SAME FATE AS "THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL"  They too migrated over the Caucusas Mountains and also settled in Europe and eventually on to the Americas..............                                                                              Then:
   

• In 497 B.C. the first siege of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar.
• In 489 B.C. the second siege of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar. Captivity begins, the Kingdom of Judah in bondage.
• In 477 B.C. the third siege of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar. Jerusalem taken and the Temple destroyed.
• In 405 B.C. the Temple rebuilding is finished and Temple dedicated.
• In A.D. 69 Jerusalem and temple is destroyed by Titus.
• On may 14, 1948 Israel once again becomes a nation in fulfillment of Biblical prophecy.  Many scholars feel that this is the start of the prophesied Generation of the Fig Tree (the final generation).
• On June 5, 1967 Jerusalem is repatriated and becomes part of the new nation Israel. Some believe that this is the true start of the Generation of the Fig Tree (the final generation).  No matter whether the final generation commenced in 1948 or in 1967 - we are in it now. And as Jesus stated: "Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled." [Luke 21:32]. So also in [Matt 24:34] & [Mk 13:30]. And it is good to be careful of Jesus' warning:"And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be." [Rev 22:12].
• To this very day (A.D. 1999) the Temple lays in ruin.  Unrest is developing between the three major world religions over the Temple Mount in Jerusalem (Christianity who see it as the place that their Messiah Jesus Christ will return at His Second Advent, Judaism who see it as their Holy city from of old and where Abraham offered Isaac to the Lord and where their prophesied Messiah shall come (they deny that Jesus Christ was that Messiah), and Islam who see it as the place that their (false) prophet Mohammed was drawn up to Heaven and where they currently have the 'Dome on the Rock and the Al-Aksa Mosque'), interesting, is it not?

    During the captivity, a portion of the Tribe of Judah intermixed with the Babylonians, they became what we call 'Jews' in our current day. Not all of the descendants of the Tribe of Judah are Jews. SeeIN THE BIBLE, WHO ARE THE PEOPLE OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, THE HOUSE OF JUDAH, THE JEWS, AND THE KENITES?

    In Christ's time, the ruling religious body of Jerusalem was the Jewish sect called 'Pharisees' and was governed by their 'Sanhedrin', it was this Sanhedrin led by the high-priest Ca'-ia'-phas [John 18:13] that forced Pontius Pilate's hand into crucifying Jesus Christ in A.D. 29. "But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar." [John 19:15].

    It is incorrect to blame all peoples of Hebrew decent for the crucifixion, for it was only a small portion of the 'corrupted seed' that accomplished it and their descendants still exist today.  Modern day Jewry is not of Jacob, nor are they true Semitic peoples, they are in part the offspring of Esau who seek to steal Jacob's (Israel's) birthright.  Satan does his 'best' work by corrupting the religions of the world.  Do not think that Judaism is the only religion that satan has corrupted, for satan has corrupted all major world religions as it was prophesied in the Bible that he would.  It is not yet complete but it is moving forward in a brisk and predictable (to those that study the Bible) manner.  For as Jesus said: "But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things." [Mark 13:23]. 

And now, moving ahead in time till Christ's time:

• Mother Mary (Her father is a descendent in the tribe of Judah, and her mother is a descendent in the tribe of Levi)
  • Jesus Christ (J ^ehoshua') (born 4 B.C.) The Son of God, born of a virgin. "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." [Isa 7:14] (written in 631 B.C.).Immanuel in the Hebrew language means 'God with us'. And Jesus (J ^ehoshua') in The Hebrew language means 'Jehovah(God) savior'. They are one in the same.
    

The first great promise and prophecy in the Bible to be fulfilled in [Rev 20:10]: Satan destroyed, cast into Lake of Fire. Head crushed: Jesus' enemies: "made His footstool" [Heb10:13] (future yet to our time).  Jesus crucified (accomplished in A.D.29): Heels bruised on cross.

Gen 3:14-15
14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

SECOND ADVENT:
  "Christ reins a thousand years" [Rev 20:4].
See MATTHEW CHAPTER 24 & THE ANTICHRIST.

One-thousand years pass, and then:

JUDGMENT DAY: 
HEAVEN (the Third Earth Age) for the overcomers,  ^or HELL (the Lake of Fire - eternal perdition) for those whom do not overcome

HEAVEN AND HELL:

Rev 21:1-8
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (KJV)

THE ETERNITY . . . . (The Third Earth Age)
"a new heaven and a new earth" [Rev 21:1].

(End of written prophecy)

A warning and a promise from Jesus Christ:

Rev 2:16-17
16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.  (KJV)

John 14:6
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.  (KJV)

Rev 22:18-21
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. (KJV)

                             

To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits; to understand it, the highest of all goals.  We pray that with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you accomplish both
