From the time of
creation of man to the final Judgment.
It can be placed in
seven different time ages Efes 3-2. In these
time ages, God deals differently whit humanity or parts of humanity in
conditions whit their sin and the responsibility of man. Every time ages can be
viewed as a new test for humanity and awry one ends whit Judgment. It shows
that the fallen nature of man is a complete failure and self destructive. We
are living in the sixth time age, which is probable near to be closed. Then we
have one Age left the seventh millennium.
1Man in the
state of innocent
This Age is reach from
the time of creation of Adam to they was chased out of paradise. Adam was
innocent without experience whit good and evil .He and his Wife was placed in
the garden together. God gave them the responsibility to keep away from the
tree of good and evil this condition result in the first act of disobedience
and ended whit Judgment and the consequence, they was driven out of paradise.
2 Man in
the Age of conscience
The consequence of the
fall, man got knowledge of good and evil. This gave the conscience a basis for
a new moral a power of judgment. Man comes under the measure of responsibility
to do good and flee from evil. The outcome of this age was (Genesis 6-5) the evil of man was great on the
earth the hart of man and their thought was evil. Judgment came and
exterminates with water the whole world only Noah and his family survived.
3 Man rules
over the Earth
Eight souls was saved
from this Judgment, in a new beginning on a cleansed earth .They was given
outstretched power to rule over the world .Noah and his descendants shod have
the responsibility to rule under Gods will. The result of this man ruled age
was that they trays to be independent of God, this age ended whit the confusion
of Babel.
.4 Man in
the age of promises
From the scattered
descendants of Babel God calls Abraham in a covenant whit him. Some of the
promises Abraham and his descendants was given, was totally of free grace.
These promises
is fulfilled or will be fulfilled in the future. Other promises was of the
conditional of Israelis faithfulness and obedience...All these conditions was
broken and the age of promises result in Israelis complete failure and ended
whit slavery in
5 Men under
the Law.
The grace of God came to
the helpless people in slavery in
6 Man under
grace
The death of Christ was
the beginning of the age of the Grace of God. Complete and eternal salvation is
now offered both Jews and gentiles who believe on his complete salvation and
redemption. God gives his justification. To man, whit no condition as the time
of the law. The outcome of this test of man under grace is predicted. Judgment
over an unbelieving world and an apostasy church. The greatest event in this
time age is the coming for his believers, and take them with him to haven. Tess 4-16-17.And then shall we always be whit the
Lord.
7 Man under
the rule of Messiah.
After a cleansing
Judgment whit the coming of Christ to the earth he shall rule over the
re-establish
.The Judgment of the
Great white Throne .This will be the last resurrection of all the death
in history,and they will have their sentence. Then there will be a new Heaven
and Earth. (Eternity)
