BIBLICAL EXPOSITION (LIST)
Creation of the heavens and the earth, the light and the darkness, the day and the night, Adam and Eve.
Eden was the Kingdom of God/Heaven on Earth, with the tree of life, symbolic of Christ, Who is the source of all life, and with the tree of knowledge, symbolising mankind's carnality, who took it upon themselves to understand good and evil through deception of the snake (rebellious divine beings). Their desire to be independent and self-righteous through pride made them lose contact with God/Heaven.
The first rebellion by the divine beings (sons of God) who wanted control over humanity symbolised by the snake that deceived Eve. These are the created divine beings that challenged Jesus's authority in heaven through their rebellion. Only the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit are eternal.
4. The second rebellion
The rebellion of divine beings that left their abode to lust after women from mankind wherefrom the giants (Nephilim, Anakim, Rephaim) were born. The giants were not of God's creation and are therefore without salvation. These are the demons of today that harass people.
5. The third rebellion
This is the rebellion where mankind rejected God by making a name for themselves at Babel, resulting in God giving them over to the authority of created divine beings to rule over mankind. I believe it was these beings that changed the nations language's (God is not confusion) as they wanted control over the people in their own area (nation) of dominion.
6. God's promise to a man of faith
God finds faith in a man to start the nation (Israel) as numerous as the stars of the sky to be the messengers (symbolised by stars) to bring mankind from all nations back to God. This was always God's intention as Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords, however, the rulers of this world will fight to the end, but there is no hope for them.
7. Jacob and the 12 tribes of Israel
Under the guidance of God, Israel was meant to be an example to other nations that fell under the dominion of rebellious divine beings, to bring the nations back to God. These divine beings became the gods of the nations as we know them today.
8. Unbelief and the law of Moses
God gave Israel laws because of unbelief, which are compulsive and force mankind to try to be righteous through punishment and guilt, but God is a God of faith which works by love, and therefore a change of heart by the spirit is required. Self-righteouness is always deceptive and lure mankind through pride to strive and achieve laws through their own ability, just like in Eden and at the tower of Babel.
9. Grace and truth of Jesus Christ
The law came by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ who died to reconcile mankind back to God through Himself as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Through faith we have salvation in Him, not of works, lest we should boast, but as a free gift, if we hold onto the faith that was given to us. We do not work to be saved, but we work to please God because we are grateful for His goodness and our salvation.
10. Apostles and the first church
The apostles were tasked to bring the message to those in Israel that did not believe, and to the nations, so that all nations may have salvation through faith in Jesus Christ and not be in bondage to false gods, who were the rebellious divine beings that were given authority over the nations at Babel when mankind rebelled.
11. The fall of Jerualem
The lack of faith in Jesus by Israel's leaders led to their downfall. I beleieve this was the beginning of the end times and a curtain raiser for all those nations that do not come to Jesus until the final trumpet is sounded.
12. Revival of the church
This is the period we are in, as Jesus revives the church to become His bride through the Word by faith, in relationship with Him, and by the power of the Holy Spirit.
13. The Millennial reign of Christ
This is the period in which many will be transformed into glorious bodies, and those that escape all the tribulations will also be on earth in flesh and blood bodies under Christ's rule, where they will live long lives before the new Heaven and Earth is manifest on Earth. The devil will try one last time to destroy God's people but will be destroyed and sent into the lake of fire.
14. The new Heavan and Earth
After the Millennial reign of Jesus Christ the third heaven will meet earth, and the Kingdom of God and Jesus's glory will fill the entire earth, where no more death and sorrow exists. The tree of life will be fully manifest, and we will be complete in the new Jerusalem which is a city without walls or a temple.
