Now that we have a better understanding of the big picture painted by the Bible and a general understanding of how end events unfold, I want to address God’s Master Plan for mankind.  God's Master Plan for this "Age" is from Adam to the end of the Millennial Reign is 7,000 years, as clearly defined in 2 Peter 3 (covered in detail in Chapter 4) and through Biblical portraits and feasts. 

 

Again, an understanding of “The Big Picture” helps dramatically when attempting to understand each individual topic of doctrine and end event found in the Bible.  In other words, “what's it all about and why?” 

 

Below is a very simplified explanation from the most literal interpretation of the promises found in the Bible.  

 

 

God’s Master Plan for the Universe

 

In the Bible God declares He has a plan.  The Bible is, in a nutshell, a detailed “map” of this plan.  God declares He devised this Master Plan “before the creation of the Universe”.  In other words, God had a well thought out, very detailed predestined plan.  A plan He predestined before the foundation of the Universe.   Down to the smallest detail.

 

In the most simplistic language… “This plan was to create this Universe, will it to His sons as an inheritance, and then govern it with His Saints for all eternity under the authority of His King… Yahshua the Messiah”.  Yahshua the Messiah was destined to inherit “all things” or the entire Universe.  God’s elect, the Saints, were destined to be “co-heirs” with the Messiah and “rule under King Yahshua over God’s creation for all eternity” under the divine authority of Yahshua within a divine system of government. 

 

 Isaiah 9:6-7

"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government shall be on his shoulders and he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." 

There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, on the Throne of David and over His Kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness from then on and forevermore.

 

Revelation 21:7
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his the Messiah; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

 

Romans 8:16-17

"The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs -- heirs of God and joint heirs with the Messiah, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together."

 

Revelation 21:7
7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

 

Revelation 5:10

10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

 

Revelation 20:6

6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of the Messiah, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

 

2 Timothy 2:12
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him.

 

 

 

The ultimate Gift of God to His elect is the gift of eternal life.  It is our hope.  It is our promise of salvation from the penalty of sin (eternal death in Hell) through His Son Yahshua the Messiah.  This gift is the foundation for our final destiny… to rule this Universe for eternity.  In order to rule under the Messiah for eternity… we have to somehow obtain eternal life!

 

John 4:10-14
10 Yahshua answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

…

14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

 

Romans 6:23
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Yahshua the Messiah our Lord.

 

Revelation 22:5
5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

 

God’s Plan for this Age

 

The Saints Rule for Eternity over Creation

 

Understanding the ultimate destiny of the Saint is to “rule for eternity” is to understand the purpose of your life on Earth.   To get to know God, learn discipline, and be trained for service.  Each of us has a predestined role to play in the eternal realm within the divine system of government that will rule all of creation.  We live this life to be trained for that role and service to the King of Kings.

 

2 Timothy 2:12
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him.

 

The Training of the Saints

This “age” was destined by God for the purpose of training His Saints to serve in God’s Divine System of Government that is being prepared to rule His creation. 

 

Isaiah 30:20

20 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:

 

To complete this training process and introduce His sons to His creation, God implemented a 7,000-year plan on planet Earth.  The 7,000-year plan is covered in more detail in Chapter 2.  Creation is currently being held captive to sin and death, waiting for God to finally reveal His sons, trained for service.  At which time, creation will be liberated by the sons of God and ruled by them under the authority of King Yahshua the Messiah:

 

Romans 8:19

“creation eagerly awaits the revelation of the sons of God”… vs. 21 “when creation will be set free form slavery and come into the glorious freedom of the sons of God”

The futility of Human and Satanic Government

The purpose of this plan was multifaceted.  But in general it was to give mankind 6,000 years to prove all forms of human government fail.  To prove to man that he is not capable of self-government.  From the time God turned the Nation of Israel over to its first King through the Great Tribulation where God demonstrates in 3.5 years that satanic government fails as well.  Man has attempted every form of government from monarchy, to socialism, to fascism, to communism, to democracy.  All fail to achieve equality and peace.

Demonstrate of the Value and Effectiveness of Divine Government

Once mankind demonstrates the lack of ability to govern in peace and righteousness, Yahshua then demonstrates once and for all time the value and effectiveness of God’s Divine Government on this planet for 1,000 years.  This Divne System of Government is setup under the Messiah’s Kingship and authority and executed through the rule of the End Time Saint’s. 

 

Revelation 20

4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Yahshua, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with the Messiah a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of the Messiah, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

 

 

Then after the 1,000 year reign, that system of government is implemented Universally under King Yahshua and all of God’s Saints are then resurrected in the second resurrection to rule for eternity Rev. 22:5.

 

Revelation 22:3-5
3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

 

The Meaning of Individual Life

 

Every individual is commanded to seek out his or her own salvation with fear and trembling before an awesome God.  As we seek God for wisdom the basic question is “what is the meaning of my individual life?”  Service to God begins with your personal responsibility to God while living this life on Earth.  Only once you have a grasp of your personal responsibility to God can you effectively fulfill your role in the family, church, community, job, and government.

 

The reason each one of us has been put through a life on this Earth is to come to the knowledge of who we are within the family of God.  To effectively bring us to this knowledge, God has predestined this life we live.  During this predestined life, it is appointed to each of us a specific day of salvation. 

 

Romans 8:28-30
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

 

The next few verses answer the question… “What is His purpose for creating me?”  Your purpose is to be trained (conformed) over time into the image of His Son…

 

29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

 

 

From the point of our calling, we begin to walk with God as He sanctifies and justifies each one of us and we grow from a child of God to a mature son of God.  As a child we are literally slaves to the religious processes until we grow in self-discipline.  We are put under ‘mentors’ and ‘teachers’ as we are literally trained in the knowledge of God.  And at our specific predestined day, we mature in our relationship with God to the point of a son.  At which point we are no longer slaves to religion, but walk in total freedom within a personal relationship with our God, the Father:


Galations 4:1-7
1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;

2 But is under tutors (teachers) and governors (guardians) until the time appointed of the father.

…

6 And because ye are (now) sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through the Messiah.

 

 

This training is perfected through a constant process of falling short, learning lessons, and growing.  This system of training is required to develop within each of us the value system of God, true character, and above all self discipline.

 

The System of Training… Good vs. Evil… Divine Discipline vs. Self Discipline

 

To effectively teach the Saints God put us through a life on earth… God created the Angelic realm for a specific purpose in this plan.  1/3 or the Angels rebelled led by Lucifer creating a system of “good vs. evil”.  It is this constant system of temptation to evil, discipline, and obedience to God that we learn who God is during this lifetime.  And we, the Saints, become disciplined children of the Living God as a result.  Prepared for service in the Divine System of Government God is preparing to rule under King Yahshua for eternity.

 

 

The Fall of Adam… Original Sin… the Condition of Humanity and Why?

 

In order to prevent any future rebellion in His Saints by removing any chance that we may claim we “deserve” God’s Gift through the Messiah… eternal life… all men are born into this world with “original sin” due to the fall of Adam and continue to sin until they exit this world. 

 

And as a result we are all born spiritually dead or “not eternally a member of the house of God” with no means by which we may know God.  God created a need for a supernatural means of “saving” His elect from the penalty of sin, which is eternal DEATH.  This is the condition of every human, born spiritually dead, facing physical death on earth (the first death), then being resurrected bodily to face judgment, then ultimately facing eternal bodily destruction / death (the second death).

 

Revelation 20:12-15
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

 

The Bible makes it clear we all are born in the condition of ‘spiritually dead’ in need of a means of salvation from the second death.  So, God ordained deliverance and provides the gift of eternal life, salvation from the second death through a promised Messiah.

 

Ephesians 2:4-5
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with the Messiah, (by grace ye are saved;)

 

The Purpose of a Promised Messiah

 

To demonstrate His love and commitment to His own plan, God not only put His Saints through a life on earth, but God humbled Himself and walked a mile in our shoes 4,000 years into this Plan.  So we absolutely have NO excuse… He navigated the training ground Himself… in the form of the man named Yahshua. 

 


Philippians 2
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in the Messiah Yahshua:

6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

 

Yahshua was born a “virgin birth” not having been polluted by the “seed if Adam”.  This freed Him from the condition of every other human being spiritually dead in “original sin”.  Being free from the seed of man, it enabled Yahshua to be born eternal the living Spirit of God inside His human form from day one.  As opposed to all other men, born spiritually dead without eternal life.  God then walked this earth, lived this life, went through everything we do, and in the end He willingly allowed mankind to “put Him to death”.

 

 

The Meaning of the Crucifixion

 

In a truly amazing merciful turn of events, God allowed man to judge His Son, instead of God judging man! So God paid the price of our sin for us and we stood in God’s judgment seat… over Him and we judged Him for OUR sin… instead of the other way around… amazing! 

 

This opened the door to salvation from eternal death (the penalty of sin) delivering the gift of eternal life through faith in Yahshua the Messiah who was judged for our sin in our place.   That was God’s plan from the beginning!  So now, through faith, the penalty of our sin is considered paid-in-full.  Bringing with it righteousness before God and a revived eternal living Spirit.

 

 

Obtaining the Gift of God… Eternal Life to Serve God under the Messiah for All Eternity… “Your Election into the Diving System of Government

 

During this life on Earth, God’s elect (His Saints) MUST go through a process of spiritual rejuvenation through baptism and a process called “Born Again” in order to become eternal beings because we are all born eternally dead due to sin.  Being Born Again is the process by which God through His Holy Spirit resurrects the dead spirit of His Saints who were originally born spiritually dead.  At that moment, the Saint becomes an eternal member of the house of God.  Not before, and no one else other than those Born Again are ever offered eternal life in any form and are not eternal beings.  If you die without being Born Again, you face the second death… eternal death by fire.  Born once, die twice.  Born twice, die once.  This is the simple truth and fact of creation and eternal life.

 

John 3:3 (KJV)
3 Yahshua answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

 

1 Peter 1:23
23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

 

With this understanding of the Bible and God’s Plan, I will further develop the importance of prophecy, the timing of God’s Plan, and the timeline of End Events.
