PROPHETIC DISPENSATIONS
PROGRAM OF GOD
CHURCH AGE (beginning)
· The early Church Fathers taught that there would be a literal Millennial reign of Jesus Christ on earth.
"For in as many days as this world was made, in so many thousand years shall it be concluded. And for this reason the Scripture says: 'Thus the heaven and the earth were finished, and all their adornment. And God brought to a conclusion upon the sixth day the works that He had made; and God rested upon the seventh day from all His works.' This is an account of the things formerly created, as also it is a prophecy of what is to come. For the day of the Lord is as a thousand years; and in six days created things were completed: it is evident, therefore, that they will come to an end at the sixth thousand year...
"Those nations however, who did not of themselves raise up their eyes unto heaven, nor returned thanks to their Maker, nor wished to behold the light of truth, but who were like blind mice concealed in the depths of ignorance, the word justly reckons 'as waste water from a sink, and as the turning-weight of a balance--in fact, as nothing;') so far useful and serviceable to the just, as stubble conduces towards the growth of the wheat, and its straw, by means of combustion, serves for working gold. And therefore, when in the end the Church shall be suddenly caught up from this, it is said, 'There shall be tribulation such as has not been since the beginning, neither shall be.' For this is the last contest of the righteous, in which, when they overcome they are crowned with incorruption...
"But when this Antichrist shall have devastated all things in this world, he will reign for three years and six months, and sit in the temple at Jerusalem; and then the Lord will come from heaven in the clouds, in the glory of the Father, sending this man and those who follow him into the lake of fire; but bringing in for the righteous the times of the kingdom, that is, the rest, the hallowed seventh day; and restoring to Abraham the promised inheritance, in which kingdom the Lord declared, that 'many coming from the east and from the west should sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.'" (Irenaeus) - 341
THE MILLENNIUM (beginning)
· Satan will be bound while the resurrected saints reign with Christ for 1,000 years.
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years... - Rev.20:1,2
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 Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. - Rev. 20:6
And He shall send Jesus Christ...whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things... - Acts 3:20-21
Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom. - Dan. 7:22
PROGRAM OF SATAN
PRE-FLOOD ERA
· Gnostics refer to the pre-Flood era as the Golden Age because the world worshipped the Sun.
"Wm. Robertson Smith...sums up about the Greeks and Egyptians when he writes: 'in their legends of the Golden Age it was told how in the earliest and happiest days of the race, when man was at peace with the gods and with nature, and the hard struggle of daily toil had not begun, animal food was unknown, and all man's wants were supplied by the spontaneous produce of the bounteous earth." - 376:132
"In alchemy the sun is associated with glittering gold ('the earth's sun, the king of metals')..." - 100:330
OLD TESTAMENT PERIOD
· The ancient Egyptians attempted, and the Greeks and Romans anticipated, a return to the Golden Age.
"The ancient world civilisation of Atlantis gradually degenerated and perished in a series of cataclysms that destroyed large portions of their inhabited landmasses; but, throughout this period of disintegration of a once glorious civilisation, and afterwards, when the new races of humanity grew up in other portions of the globe, the sages held the dream and gradually prepared themselves and those who would listen to them for the restoral of a universal Golden Age of peace and concord.
"One of the earlier civilisations to arise from the ashes of Atlantis, although not on such a large scale, and which seriously attempted to create a Golden Age for itself, was that of Ancient Egypt. Guided by great sages and an enormous body of proven traditional knowledge concerning the laws of nature and divinity, pharaonic Egypt achieved a special level of civilisation and illumination that is a shining example to us today. From the Egyptian sages the Greek poets and philosophers learnt the best of their wisdom..." - 889:15
"What the Greeks called the Kronia, celebrating the fortunate era of Kronos, the Latins termed the Saturnalia, a symbolic renewal of the reign of...Saturn. Kronos is the Greek name of the same planet...
"The Latin poet Ovid knew the tradition [of Saturn, king of Italy] well: 'The first millennium was the age of gold...' But then, states Ovid, 'old Saturn fell to Death's dark country.' There is not a race on earth that forgot this cataclysmic event -- the death of Saturn, Universal Monarch; or the fall of Adam, the Heaven Man. And peoples the world over, for thousands of years, awaited the full return of Time's wheel, when Saturn's kingdom would appear again to rescue the world from a decadent age of Iron (the present age, marking the lowest of the descending ages after the Golden Age). The powerful memory of Saturn's Age gave rise to a prophesied return, as announced in the famous lines of Virgil: 'Now is come the last age of the Cumean prophecy: the great cycle of periods is born anew. Now returns the Maid, returns the reign of Saturn: Now from high heaven descends a new generation. And O holy goddess of childbirth Lucina, thou be gracious at the boy's birth in whom the Iron race shall begin to cease and the Golden to arise all over the world...'
"That Saturn governed the Golden Age is a supreme tenet of the ancient mysteries. This is why the most sacred day of the week, commemorating the primordial era, was dedicated to Saturn. The Hebrew Sabbath, the seventh day of the week, was the day of Saturn, as was the seventh day of the Babylonian and Phoenician weeks. For the Romans, the special day was Saturnai Dies, 'Saturn's Day'. This was the Anglo-Saxon 'Day of Seater' [Saturn], which...became our Saturday." - 93:30-32
"...a certain Chaldean astrological teaching according to which each of the planets reigned for the space of a thousand years, so that the antique world found itself under the domination of Zeus, who had just supplanted the first of the planets, Kronos...
"...In the last of the books of The Pistis-Sophia, and also in one of our Coptic Hermetic writings - No. 25...the heavenly bodies were distributed along seven aiones - one may say, seven cycles - in such as way that each of these had to reign, in its turn, for one millennium. This theory was sufficiently widely diffused to appear in a number of Greek and Latin authors; to be found also in Bardesanes and still more, among the Mandeans. And it is this system which explains [in]...the Hypostatus of the Archons and the treatise No. 40 - the theme of the replacement of Ialdabaoth-Kronos by Sabaoth-Zeus." - 230:260-1,271
CHURCH AGE
· Gnostics have long planned for a revival of paganism in another Golden Age.
"...Florentine Platonists saw a Golden Age dawning, a revival of pagan thought mainly wed to Christian values..." - 308:81
"[Peter] Dawkins asserts that the Golden Age, ruled over by Pan and Arcadia, is synonymous with Rosicrucian enlightenment, also thought to be 'Age of Aquarius.'" - 335
"In 1776, four men were given the job to design a seal that expressed the meaning and destiny of the new nation: Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Pierre Eugene DuSimitiere. The Great Seal is thus a record of the visionary origins of America.
"On the reverse side is mandala containing a broken pyramid with a radiant eye enclosed in a triangle. The triangle points back to the evolutionary trinity of Joachim's philosophy of history. They pyramid points back to the Egyptian dawn of civilization. It is, however, an unfinished pyramid, as the work of civilization is unfinished. America's mission is to finish the pyramid, suggests [Robert] Hieronimos (in America's Secret Destiny). - 308:130
· The occult societies are facilitating mankind's return to the Golden Age.
"...the three main channels through which the preparation for the new age is going on might be regarded as the Church, the Masonic Fraternity and the educational field..." (Alice Bailey) - 1
"The political aspirations of Freemasonry...can be traced back to the myth of the Golden Age and predynastic Egypt during the reign of Osiris and Isis and, before the flood, to the Babylonian and Hebrew myths of creation " - 25:16
"[Queen of Sweden] Christina's [Acadian] Academy supported as its symbol the 7-reeded pipe of Pan (God of the Golden Age). Members called themselves 'shepherds' and aimed to bring about a golden age and return to a simpler way of life." - 335
"A duty to maintain the unity of Druidic activity and an obligation...to...further the cultivation of the noblest and best in man and thus work for the restoration of the Golden Age." - 377
· Apostates of the Reformed Movement deny the Millennial reign of Jesus Christ and misrepresent it as a Gnostic doctrine.
"In this future Golden Age idea, or the making of the 'kingdom of heaven on earth' (as it is sometimes called), one can see an incipient idea of the New Age Movement which arose in the twentieth century through the theosophist Alice B. Bailey... In fact, the entire concept of a future Golden Age or 'brotherhood of peace on earth' is a peculiarly Gnostic and occultic doctrine, rooting the eschatological fulfillment of history within the bounds of present earth history, before the cosmos has been renewed, transformed and purified into the New Heavens and the New Earth (Rev. 21:1-5). Cerenthus, one of the most infamous of the ancient Gnostics, actually devised an entire eschatological system which had Christ returning to earth and reigning with His people in Israel for a thousand years. Setting-up the kingdom of God on earth is actually a key Neo-Gnostic concept, which has its wellspring in the Rosicrucian influences of the seventeenth century." (Alan Morrison, The Serpent & The Cross) - 503:82
