Dispensation of the AGES TO COME: Page 106

Dispensation of the AGES TO COME  (Ephesians 2:7)
 

With the catching away of the Body of Christ, the deliverance from the wrath to come (I Thessalonians 1:10; 5:9), the closure of the parenthetical BUT NOW Mystery Dispensation of Grace, the prophetic Kingdom Program will be resumed 

 

24 to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy (Daniel 9:24). 

 

In the AGES TO COME, the favored nation, Israel, will go through a dark time during the first phase of a time called the Day of the Lord, described in the prophetical teaching of the scriptures (Isaiah 13:6-13). 

 

During a period of seven years of tribulation, it will be difficult to find the Word of God (Amos 8:11-12). 

 

Those going through the Tribulation will be guided by their study of the scripture, Hebrews through Revelation, which will provoke them to be bound together in love, to stand together without wavering, and do good works (Hebrews 10:24) while suffering persecution.
 

6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. 

 

7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt: 

 

8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames. 

 

9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. 

 

10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. 

 

11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. 

 

12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir. 

 

13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger (Isaiah 13:6-13).
 

22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened (Matthew 24:22).
 

1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh (Joel 2:1).
 

18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light (Amos 5:13).
 

30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 

 

31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. 

 

32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call (Joel 2:30-32).
 

17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. (Isaiah 2:17).
 

1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, 

 

2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 

 

7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come (Matthew 3:1-2, 7)?
 

5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many (Matthew 24:5)
 

11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many (Matthew 24:11).

In the middle of the tribulation period the man of sin shall be revealed, II Thessalonians 2:3b the son of perdition; 

 

4 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. 

 

Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 

 

16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains. 

 

II Thessalonians 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 

 

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 

 

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 

 

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 

 

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
 

Daniel 9:24-27, Matthew 24:15-21, Mark14-18, 

21; Luke 21:20-24 all prompt those in Judea to flee to safety in the mountains when the wicked be revealed. 

 

Similar to when God preserved the Church in the Wilderness for forty years, He will again preserve those who will flee to the mountains for two and a half years (Revelation 12:6, 14). 

 

As the followers of Korah in the Wilderness were swallowed up by the earth, (Numbers 16:32, Jude 1:11), we see again, the earth will open her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth (Revelation 12:16). 

 

To Israel during this time, the Lord told them, 

 

10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life (Revelation 2:10).

 
Israel’s blindness will be completely removed (Romans 11:25). 

 

28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy (Joel 2:28). 

 

They will receive an Unction of the Holy Spirit (I John 2:20) and be enabled to teach all nations in the uttermost parts of the earth (Matthew 28:19; Acts 1:8). 

 

Jesus tells the little flock to settle in their hearts not to be concerned if they are captured because He through the Holy Spirit will give them words to speak that all their adversaries will not be able to resist (Luke 21:12-15). 

 

They will be the overcomers by the blood of the Lamb, by the Word of their testimony, and they will not love their lives unto the death (Revelation 12:11).
 

37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; 

 

38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; 

 

39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 

 

40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 

 

41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 

 

42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 13:37-42).
 

1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. 

 

2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt (Daniel 12:1-2).
 

36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man (Luke 21:36).
 

3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him (Hebrews 2:3).
 

John continues to affirm that the salvation of the kingdom saints is secured by their faith in the kingdom gospel. 

 

17 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God (I John 5:17).
 

9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God (Zechariah 13:9).
 

John the Baptist, the Lord Jesus Christ, and His disciples offered the Kingdom to the Nation of Israel as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. 

 

Peter re-offered the Kingdom in Acts 3. Stephen’s Kingdom offer was rejected in Acts 7, and the Prophetic Kingdom was temporarily postponed until the fullness of the Gentiles was come in (Romans 11:25, Luke 21:24). 

 

The Kingdom will be re-offered again to the Nation of Israel by multiple witnesses. 

 

Again, the Great Commission will be the marching orders of that day. 

 

Beginning in Genesis 12, it has always been God’s plan for the Gentiles to be saved through His mode of operation, the Nation of Israel, a Kingdom of Priests. 

 

Jesus said in Matthew 28: 

 

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 

 

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen (Matthew 28:19-20). 

 

15 And He (Jesus) said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature. 

 

16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 

 

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 

 

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover (Mark 16:15-18).
 

After forty days of appearances on the earth following His resurrection, and just before His ascension to heaven, the Lord repeated His message to the believing Jews in Jerusalem: 

 

7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. 

 

8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth (Acts 1:7-8). 

 

13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 

 

14 And this Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come (Matthew 24:13-14).
 

In 1st John 5:13, John writes to the tribulation saints, the Kingdom Church, These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 

 

The same message was prophesied in the Old Testament.

 

32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call (Joel 2:32).
 

During the tribulation, two witness will prophecy for two and a half years, be killed by the beast, and after three and a half days, the spirit of life from God will reenter them, and all will see them stand on their feet and ascend up to heaven (Revelation 11:3-11). The 144,000—12,000 from each tribe—will be sealed (Revelation 7:4) and bring many to the Lord. 

 

John said, 

 

6 I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting Gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people 

 

7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

 

(Revelation 14:6-7). Maybe the gift of tongues, experienced at Pentecost in Acts 2:8, will be restored and everyone will hear the Gospel of the Kingdom, everyone in their own language. 

 

None will have an excuse for not having heard the Everlasting Gospel.
 

At the close of the Great Tribulation the prophecy given by the two angels at the Lords ascension will come to pass. Which also said, 

 

11 Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven (Acts 1:11).
 

11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war (Revelation 19:11).
 

7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen (Revelation1:7).
 

10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. 

 

11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon [also known as Armageddon; see Revelation 16:16] (Zachariah 12:10-11).
 

1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 

 

2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 

 

3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle (Zechariah 14:1-3).
 

2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land (Joel:3:2).
 

14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision (Joel 3:14).
 

12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth (Zechariah 14:10-12).
 

4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 

 

5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee (Zechariah 14-4-5).
 

31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory (Matthew 24:31).
 

27aFor the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels (Matthew 16:27a).
 

27a For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be (Matthew 24:27a).
 

16 The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: 

 

17 but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. 

 

17 So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more (Joel 3:16-17).
 

1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: 

 

2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD (Isaiah 11:1-2).
 

33 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you: 

 

34 And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out. 

 

35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face. 

 

36 Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD. 

 

37 And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant: 

 

38 And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD (Ezekiel 20:33-38).
 

In Jerusalem, after the Great Tribulation, He will judge His elect people, His chosen people, that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ (Jude 1:1). 

 

They will be rewarded according to their degree of faithfulness through the tribulation. 

 

God will also judge and reward the Nations and those believing Gentiles proselytes that served the Jews during the tribulation (Matthew 25:40).
 

6 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe (Revelation 14:6).
 

31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 

 

32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 

 

33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 

 

34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world (Matthew 25:31-34).
 

John witnesses those who during the tribulation came to believe that Jesus was the Messiah, the Son of God. 

 

9 I (John) beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; 

 

10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. 

 

11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, 

 

12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen (Revelation 7:9-12).
 

18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, 

Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. 

 

19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. 

 

20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs (Revelation 14:18-20).
 

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 

 

46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal (Matthew 25:41, 46).
 

25 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 25:30).
 

At the end of this Great Tribulation, Satan will have been defeated at the battle of 

 

Armageddon and be chained and cast in the bottomless pit for 1,000 years. 

 

Fulfillment of God’s desire to restore the earth will be underway. 

 

The Nation of Israel will see her New Covenant come to fruition with all the promises of a land, a King, and a Kingdom with the position of world leadership. 

 

Jerusalem will be the capital of the world. 

 

Christ will rule His earthly Kingdom in righteousness and with a rod of iron. 

 

The Jews will be God’s people, and they will all know Him. All the promises of the New Covenant (Ezekiel 36:25-38) will be fulfilled. 

 

God’s people will enjoy all the physical and spiritual blessings they have longed for. 

 

The law will be in their inward parts and written on their hearts, and they will have no need to be taught. 

 

God will remember their sins no more. 

 

They will be a Nation of Priests, bringing the Gentiles that came through the Great Tribulation up to Jerusalem (Zechariah 8:23) to worship the most high. 

 

The Gentiles will serve the Israelites and will be blessed through the Nation of Israel. 

 

The Nation of Israel will be God’s prophesied New Covenant people living long lives similar to the pre-flood first man, Adam, (Genesis 5:5) who lived for 930 years, and Methuselah who lived for 969 years (Genesis 5:27).
 

9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one (Zechariah 14:9).
 

32b The Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 

 

33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end (Luke 1:32b-33).
 

10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD (Zechariah 12:10).
 

31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other (Matthew 24:31).31
 

25 Verily coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God:  verily, I say unto you, The hour is and they that hear shall live (John 5:25).
 

5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers. 

 

6 But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves (Isaiah 61:5-6).
 

2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. 

 

3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 

 

4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more (Isaiah 2:2-4). [cf Micah 4:1-4]
 

16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. 

 

17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. 

 

18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles (Zechariah 16-18).
 

18 But be ye glad and rejoice forever in that which I create for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. 

 

19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. 

 

20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. 

 

21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. 

 

22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. 

 

23 They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them. 

 

24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. 

 

25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. 

 

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD (Isaiah 65:18-25).
 

After the completion of the one-thousand-year Kingdom, for a short season, Satan will be loosed to do what he does best—be deceptive. Before he is then cast into the lake of fire, he (Revelation 20:1-10) 

 

8 shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number is as the sand of the sea. 

 

9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them (Revelation 20:8-9). 

 

At the appointed time, all the unsaved will appear at the Great White Throne of Judgment to be judged not for their faith and good works, but for their unbelief and fleshly works. 

 

And death and hell will be cast into the lake of fire. 

 

And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:11-15).
 

9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him (the Lord Jesus Christ), and given him a name which is above every name: 

 

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 

 

11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:9-11).
 

11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him (Psalm 72:11).
 

5 Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 

 

6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen Revelation 1:5-6).
