The Empire Paul Built Through Christ - 2

For I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me, resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed, in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and round about as far as Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. (Romans 15:18-19 NASB)

I stand amazed at what Paul the apostle had accomplished during his times when transportation was primitive and a day's journey by foot was probably about 40 km. Yet he was able to spread the gospel in about 12 years from Jerusalem to Illyricum (modern day Serbia / Croatia) via Syria and Galatia.

The Roadmap

In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. (Hebrews 1:1-2 NIV)

The world's future was already given in the Bible to the prophets.

World Power
Four Gentile empires will rule the Jews when they live promised land. These four kingdoms are described by the prophet Daniel in Daniel 2:24-45 and Daniel 7:1-28.

1. The seven years of tribulation
2. The 10 kingdoms
3. The beast
4. The 1000 year imprisonment
5. The second Gog and Magog

God's Kingdom
The future of God's Kingdom is given in great detail in Ezekiel 36:01-48:35. Another timeline of God's Kingdom is given in Daniel 9:24-27.

1. The millennium
2. The new heaven and earth (Isaiah 65:17-25)

God's King
The coming of God's King is also given in same Daniel 9:24-27. The King will be the Branch (Isaiah 11:1-9) of David.

1. The rapture to meet the King in the air
2. The return to establish God's Kingdom

God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. (Hebrews 1:1-4 KJV)

When Will The Perfect Comes?

Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will come to an end. (1 Corinthians 13:8-10 CSB)

When will the perfect come?

Perfection make sense only when referring to new heaven and new earth. It is only then all prophecies, knowledge and tongues will cease.

Even during millennium, there is still an unfulfilled prophecy of Gog and Magog (Revelation 20:8).
There is still a new knowledge of what new heaven and new earth is going to be like.
Nations still exist in the millennium (Zechariah 14:16-19).

The God of Abraham - Theodicy

On 14th August (9th Av) 586 BC Jerusalem was destroyed and the Temple of God was burnt to ground. The God of Abraham had lost. Marduk (i.e. Baal), the chief god of Babylon had won. If you were an Jew at that time, you would be wondering why God had failed to defend His land and His city. Yet it was during this dark age that the God of Abraham announced through Daniel the prophet the blue print for the times of the Gentiles.

Likewise today people ask, if God is perfectly good, almighty and all-knowing, why does He permit evil to exist? The answer is actually found in the Bible.

1. The Bible tells us that God's original creation was good;
2. Evil came from the fall of man when he refused to believe in God's word;
3. But God provided redemption by sending Jesus to die for the sin of the world;
4. In due time, God will effect the restoration of His creation to sinless perfection by destroying the current creation and replace it with a new one.

God had His plan laid out before the foundation of the earth. Just as the Jews can stop worrying about being wiped out, we can stop worrying about the end of the world. The prophetic blueprint laid out in the Bible will come to pass. The next coming events will be rapture, the tribulation, the second coming of Christ and the millennium. After that, the old heaven and old earth will be destroyed and a new heaven and new earth will be created. This will be eternal. So we do not have to worry about the end of the world.

Sukkot, Feast of Tabernacles

Then it will be that all the nations who have come against Jerusalem and survived will go up each year to worship the King, the Lord of Hosts, and to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. And it will happen that if any of the families of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of Hosts, then there will not be rain for them. If the family of Egypt does not go up and enter in, they shall have no rain. This will be the plague with which the Lord strikes the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. (Zechariah 14:16-19 MEV)

Sukkot, Feast of Tabernacles, will be the most important festival in the millennium. During the millennium, the celebration of Sukkot, Feast of Tabernacles, will become compulsory worldwide.

This day may also be the birthday of the Great King, when He came to earth the first time. It was suggested that He could be born in October, during the Feast of Tabernacles, rightly justifying John 1:14, that the Word tabernacled (dwelt) among us.

And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14 YLT)
