Earth's Progress Through The Ages!
Question: Is the world coming to an end or did it never get started?
God has a remedy provided by Him. The fact that "God is Spirit" means that only those who choose in sincerity to bond with Him, can do so "in spirit and in truth" (John 4:23-24); and that through Christ Jesus!
This was missing in previous Creation (in the writers opinion), and it is possible/probable that Satan, as he did prior to Noah, through his agents, brought about a grotesque Creature similar to the Nephilim of the Old Testament; and the many grotesque creatures, now filling our Museums!
God, in His Wisdom, restarted His attempts to bring about a faithful and trusting people with His call of Abram out of Urr. The outcome was as recorded in the Old Testament; and led to the final action of God in Christ Jesus, which due to Israel's rejection, is now on offer to all the world's peoples. This is described in: The position of the Jews in Scripture, Old and New Testaments.
This thesis proposes that what seemed like failure in earlier Creation, was in fact one of the steps taken by God towards the ultimate purpose of dealing with the "Mystery of Iniquity" (2Thess. 2:7). (See: The Genesis 1:1 Enigma) e.g: The abject failure of Satan in the earlier Creation, to "be as God". The failure of Adam/Eve to resist Satan in Eden. The failure of all but Noah's family against the Nephilim, (see: Nephilim;)
The failure of "the children of Israel" to obey and honour Jehovah and Moses, also to acknowledge the first Advent of Jesus the Christ. His Crucifixion and death; fulfilled the curse of God on Satan in Eden, (Gen. 3:15), and has become God's Great Salvation offer to all of mankind, after Acts 28:28!
Future events: The "peace Covenant for Israel"; negotiated by the appearance of Anti-Christ; who will be accepted as "the Christ" by many of the world's religions! The Tribulation of Satan on Israel. The simultaneous (Wrath of God) on the unbelieving Nations of the world. The massive world population reduction (World Population Reduction). The "Battle of Armageddon", when many Nations will try to eliminate Israel. The Second Advent of the True Christ, in "Power and great Glory". The judgement of the Nations by Christ, into "sheep and goats" Matt. 25:31-46. (See: The Sheep and Goat Judgement). The establishment of The Millennial (1,000 years) Reign of Christ/God from Jerusalem.
