A Biblical outline of what has happened, what is happening, and what will happen, including the judgements and restoration of Israel…

The entire prophetic Word of God stems from Genesis 3:14-15. God’s Salvation Plan seen throughout Scripture stems from and is based on this first prophetic Word God spoken to Adam in satan’s hearing over 6000 years ago… “And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” These words have grown in prophetic meaning over time, being further expounded on until fully compiled around 1900 years ago in the New Testament when John finished writing the Book of Revelation.

The first prophetic Word given is about two principles (two beings); Jesus and satan (and then the persons that become involved with them). And they remain the principles throughout the Scriptures until the fulfillment of that first prophecy is fully accomplished in the future according to Revelation 20 (where we see the chaining of satan in the pit for 1000 years, his being let loose for a short season, and then his being cast into the Lake of Fire forever - accomplishing the crushing of satan’s head).

Jesus’ two-fold appearance as 'the suffering servant,’ and later as the 'victorious or triumphant King of Kings' is first intimated in Genesis 3:15 (see also Isaiah 53, Psalm 22, 1st Peter 1:11, Luke 24:26, etc) in that in the forthcoming battle set forth in Scripture, the serpent would 'bruise His heel,’ but finally 'He (Jesus) would crush the head of the serpent.' Hundreds of prophetic words in the Old and New Testament are Written (over 300 prophetic words about Jesus being written in the Old Testament alone), and can be divided up into two timeframes. The first timeframe being before His First Coming and His life lived on Earth and His Death and Resurrection, and the second being prophecy having to do with His Second Coming. Prophecy having to do with His First Coming has been fulfilled, yet it is obvious that those having to do with His Second Coming are yet to be fulfilled, in that the Serpent’s head has not been crushed and Jesus has not taken His investiture of King of kings in this Realm.

Genesis 1:1 speaks of the time of Creation when all served and worshiped God in His Kingdom. The pride and rebellion of Lucifer (Isaiah 14, Ezekiel 28) created a rift in God's Kingdom (wherein a portion of God’s Kingdom/Universe has been designated in which satan has become god or prince. - John 12:31 calls him the “prince of this world,” and 2nd Corinthians 4:4 calls him “the god of this world.”) God, being ‘spirit,' created spirit beings/angels. It is Written in Job 38:7 that the Angels rejoiced/“shouted for joy” in God's making of the material earth, showing that the spirit Realm was made first. So His Kingdom was in the first place ‘spirit'... and afterwards He created the material/earthly part of His Kingdom. We could say that everything or most things in our material world is a copy of that which is in the spirit world - we’re not the reality- we’re the shadow, so to speak… for example, Hebrews says the Tabernacle was built/duplicated after the pattern/infrastructure that was in Heaven. (It should be noted that Scripture declares that the 'Earth and all that are in it are His’… but the 'World' (the systems by which satan rules in the Earth) are satan’s... thus he is the god of this ‘World'... but has no ownership in God's Creation.)

Satan (having been cast out of the Heaven of heavens was relegated to the Realm wherein we live/where man was created in) attained authority in the Earth through Adam's rebellion. The forces of the spirit realm are not seen by man and generally unperceived by him, yet Scripture declares that it is the "heavens that rule.” In other words, it is the spiritual Realm that controls what is happening on the Earth. Albeit man has free will, the darkness into which he fell when he lost the image of God leaves him helplessly controlled by satan through his worldly secular and religious systems. But the heart of the Gospel is that although Adam rebelled, God never abandoned man. His salvation plan included the appointing of a ‘Man’... the Son of Man, through Whom God intends one day soon to rule over this Realm; its Earth and heaven. (Note that Jesus Christ, the Man, set the path for us. We can’t follow God, but we can a man. Man ruling in this Realm answers to God creating man to have dominion in this Realm- God’s foreknowledge determining that a Man would rule.) On the other hand, there is another sovereign and king in this Realm; satan, who also has long ago followed the example of God and appointed his 'son' the Anti-Christ, the son of perdition (2nd Thessalonians 2:1-12) with ruling on the Earth as his 'son' in his theocratic government. To this Truth Jesus referred to when He spoke of the "mysteries of the kingdom of heavens.” (Matthew 13:11)

Both 'Sons of Man' (Jesus and the Anti-Christ) have appeared on the Earth for a time and both are prophesied to return. (See Revelation 17:8-11 and Revelation 19:11-16) Revelation 11:7 and Revelation 17:8 describe the Anti-Christ ascending/being resurrected from the bottomless pit in the center of the Earth. Satan copies/imitates/counterfeits what God does. He’s uses God’s character to attempt to corner Him by saying ‘If You can do it, I should be allowed to do it.’
When rightly dividing the Old and New Testament, we discover that the prophetic Scriptures have entirely to do with these two 'Men' colliding on the Earth for its control.

Glancing for a moment at Genesis 42 & 43, we see the seed of Israel. Their history begins centuries before… when the whole Earth was under the sovereignty of satan, and there was no nation or kingdom where God was acknowledged. Then God determined through Covenant with Abraham to bring forth a nation of people unto Himself. And Moses brought forth this people out of Egypt, a nation set apart… "If ye will obey My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto Me from among all peoples: for all the earth is Mine: and ye shall be unto Me a kingdom of priest, and an holy nation." [Exodus 19:5-6]

But after some 700 years of God’s forbearance, their hardness and rebellion reached the place of God declaring them "Lo-ammi" - not my people. (Hosea 1:6,9) But yet the prophet Hosea immediately added "in the place where it was said unto them, ye are not my people, it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God." (See Hosea 1:10-2:1) Because though today they are currently “Lo-ammi," they will again be restored, and that will be forever. (Leviticus 26:44-45) All tribes will be restored (Ezekiel 37:15-28), and the 'Seed of Promise' of Genesis 3:15, the Messiah, son of David shall be their King. (Jeremiah 30:9, Hosea 3:5) Their place will be that of Canaan promised to Abraham (the Abrahamic Covenant being eternal). The worship of God in the Earth during the Millennial Kingdom will be centered around the Temple of Ezekiel's vision.

The Scriptures speak of a small remnant who will survive the judgements of God and repent (Zechariah 14), and receive the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. (Isaiah 32:15; 44:3; 59:21, Ezekiel 36:27; 37:14; 39:29) And at last, they will be God's fit theocratic government upon the Earth. (Romans 11:10-12… “Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway. I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?”)

THE BODY OF CHRIST
Around 2000 years ago, Israel rejected the 'Son of Man' as the "promised seed" and are now rejected by God... that is the situation as it continues. Meanwhile, He carries out the counsel of His own will in the calling out of people for His Name sake. (Matthew 16:18-19, Acts 15:14, Ephesians 2:11-12, Colossians 1:24-39; 2:19; 3:10-11, Acts 28:28) A people whose citizenship is not of this World or Earth, but the heavens. (Philippians 3:20) A gathering continuing until the 'fulness of the Gentiles comes in.’ Albeit the tares and leaven of satan will play havoc on those who would inherit the heavenly inheritance they are called to. Evil is prophesied to increase and the love of many of Christ's will grow cold. But even as a small remnant of Israel comes through the End-Times, so it also is likewise in the Church. (Matthew 24:12-13) The 2 peoples of God will rule in 2 arenas: Israel willl rule on the Earth, and those worthies of the One New Man will rule the heavenly Realm of the Earth. (Note that it is from this heavenly inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ that many of the redeemed will be excluded from because of their disqualifying sin. See Ephesians 5:5, Galatians 5:19-21, and 1st Corinthians 6:9-10 for (incomplete/partial) lists of the behaviors that exclude a redeemed person from this inheritance. God is not speaking of loss of eternal life (which was a gift), but loss of the prize/loss of glory (which is a reward for faithful service/for being transformed into the image of Christ).

Scripture reveals an increasing opposition to the Body of Christ in the End-Times because they are His. (Matthew 24:8-9, Mark 13:8-13, Luke 21:12-19, Revelation 17:6; 13:6-7)… BUT that there is a great falling away is offset by a great increase in the witness of the loving faithful. (Matthew 24:14, Luke 21:13-15, Revelation 6:9-11; 7:9-17) The ‘World’ is the spirit of satan and those who are lost in it are blinded by him. He is the prince of the secular system and the god of the religious system. His desire is yet to be like God and to be worshiped. And he will finally bring about the Earth-wide revolt against the Son of God. (Psalm 2:1-3, Revelation 13:3,8; 19:17-21; 20:7-10)
