The Mystery of The Four Ages Unveiled
"A lifting of the veil that has shrouded the scriptures in mystery for ages"

secrets

1,297+ souls... We know how to do this.... This thread has been resurrected, not reincarnated. There is only One that can accomplish that.

"The Sacred Records clearly call for the existence of man—a chosen instrumentality in God's great Purpose by Election—far beyond the conventional six thousand years from the so-called Adam and progenitor of the human family. If man did exist back of this Adam, and if the Scriptures are given by inspiration, then the Scriptures will surely harmonize in this particular also by giving man his proper place in the history of the world. The Ages of Man once established, and the instrumentality of man (see Deut. vii. 6-14) once established, then the wonders of God in his great Purpose will become manifest to hosts that shall be "as the sand which is upon the sea shore" for number; hence the indications are that every point that is set or that shall be set upon a sure foundation by the hand of true science will confirm Scriptural truth, and bear fruit that will endure forever in the Kingdom of Righteousness."

The first elucidation was the Great Pyramid in the book: APPLICATION OF THE MOSAIC SYSTEM OF CHRONOLOGY IN THE ELUCIDATION OF MYSTERIES PERTAINING TO THE "BIBLE IN STONE," KNOWN AS THE GREAT PYRAMID OF EGYPT. Published in 1895.

"From the foregoing indications as a whole it becomes manifest that the forced entrance on the north side of the Pyramid was thus introduced by the builders of the Pyramid as a veil, and as though an after-consideration; and so, also, the death which it shadows through the Deluge of Noah, although foreseen, was as an after-consideration following with transgression of the more finished work of the Law. In this light the well or pit which descends from the allegorical junction of the Euphratic, Hiddekelic, and Gihonic ages down to the great tube that leads into the chamber of universal death shadows the valley of the shadow of death, as a consideration also forced through transgression of the Law."

Re: The Mystery of The Four Ages Unveiled
Revelation Chapter xii. The text states, "And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
"And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered."


This is an allegorical representation of Mount Zion, from whence came the Messiah, the great dweller in Mount Zion, and is indicated by the begetting of the Son.

The text continues, "And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
" And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth; and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
"And she brought forth a man-child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne."


The great red dragon is representative of the element of evil, the seven heads with their seven crowns indicating the seven divisions of the times. This great dragon drew the third part of the stars of heaven, or, by substitution, the third part of the angels of heaven, and cast them to the earth. This vast host may or may not be excessively wicked, but, as the casting of them down appears to be the work of the devil, there is little doubt but that a highway is prepared whereby these works may be undone and a restoration made possible for them, especially as they are under bondage, through fear of death, to the one who has the power of death, namely, the devil. After the child was brought forth, it was caught up to God, even as stated in Psalm xii.: "I was cast upon thee from the womb."

The text continues, "And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days."

The first-begotten Son having been brought into the world, to whom was given "the heathen for an inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for a possession," time is ushered in; that is, the point in our immediate history is established when time is first taken into consideration, or when time begins: for back of this point are untold ages. The thousand two hundred and threescore days are equivalent to the forty-two months; and the forty-two months are equivalent to the three and one-half years; and the three and one-half years are equivalent to the time and times and one-half time, or the three and one-half ages of man. After the first-begotten was brought into the world, man, who was already predestinated according to the plan, was called and conformed to the image of the Son, that the Son might be the first-born among many brethren. With the advent of man comes the advent of time, the bounds of which are set according to the number of the children of Israel; therefore it follows from this, that before man was created the ages were not considered as time, and hence are of indefinite length: consequently, the first five days of the creation are indeterminate. Time is the link, age, or epoch, taken and appointed from eternity, in which the works of the kingdom of evil shall be overthrown; the limits of which are fixed, positive, and certain. During all these years a highway has been preparing whereby the paths of the Lord might be made straight, that through the works and teaching and prophecies of the two faithful witnesses all hosts might turn from their evil ways and repent and follow the Lord God, and not follow Baal. The plans of Zion, embodying the justification of all hosts by faith in Jesus Christ, have been preached in these latter days, but righteousness was preached in all ages, and it is now manifest that, of the two great powers, one must be overwhelmed by the other, for no compromise can exist between the two. Time, therefore, was set apart by the Most High for the overthrow of evil, during which all hosts shall be thoroughly sifted, and the wheat shall be gathered into the garners, but the chaff shall be burned with unquenchable fire.

The text continues, "And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
"And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
"And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."


This war evidently took place before the advent of man, and yet it seems as though it was after the begotten Son was brought forth; Satan, at that time, having appeared in the heavens. The text states, however, that he was cast out of heaven together with his host, and their place was not found in heaven any more; hence, in the last day, Satan cannot ascend again into heaven that he should return from thence to personate the second advent of Christ. The sign of the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven appertains to him alone, and this sign has repeatedly been declared that none may be deceived.

The text continues, "And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
"Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. "Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
"And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
"And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
"And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
"And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
"And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."


When Satan was cast out of heaven into the earth, did he find any host on the earth? It has been stated that his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven and did cast them to the earth; therefore it is very probable that he found this host, which was under bondage to him, already there. From this it follows that before man was placed upon the earth evil was present. It is stated that "the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed." Who or what is this remnant? This remnant is man: for the Son was the first-begotten of the woman, and the Son was the first-born among many brethren; man having been conformed to the image of the Son that the Son might be the first-born among many brethren. Therefore, being brethren, they must by the figure be the seed of the woman, or the remnant of her seed. By the text the woman fled from the dragon into the wilderness, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, and during this period the dragon went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which was man; consequently this war among the saints had been carried on for the three and one-half ages preceding the coming of Jesus Christ our Lord. It is plainly seen that the earth is the final battle-field of the great struggle: whilst the ways and means whereby the dragon was overthrown and the prisoners loosed from their bondage have been made manifest by the Scriptures of the prophets, through the revelations accorded to St. Paul and St. John the Divine.

There is confusion once again among the people of the Four Folds it seems, so I brought this dead thread back, to once again allow those who yearn for the desire to know, to learn. Be it known, what is placed before you, is for you to research for yourself, as no man can tell another right from wrong. Let each man convince himself, for it is his own interest that is at stake.
