28. The Eons : By Grace

CREATION OF THE HEAVEN AND EARTH [Gen 1:1] to
A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH [Rev 21:1]

Up to and including the days of the Ministry of The Lord Jesus Christ and the Apostles, the Book of Enoch was accepted as an inspired text. A single well known quotation is acknowledged in the Book of Jude. Following this it was increasingly ignored and in recent times has never been included in the collection of inspired books that we call The Christian Scriptures....The Holy Bible. The earliest texts of Enoch's book are known to be written in Hebrew, but the present day remnants used as the basis of our translations are written in Koinee Greek, the language of the known world at the time of Christ. The script is not complete, but what exists is not in conflict with The God Breathed Scriptures except in an intent to hide the origin of the Nephilm. The definitive translation into English was made by R.H.Charles in 1912.

However, there are many passages from the scriptures directly connected or closely parallel with the texts of the Book of Enoch, from Genesis through to the book of Revelation. One prophetic passage, The Apocalypse of Weeks, conforms to the known periods of biblical history. Enoch's introduction is as follows:

And Enoch said: Concerning the Children of Righteousness and concerning the Elect of The World, and concerning the Plant of Uprightness, I will speak these things, Yea, I Enoch will declare (them) unto you my sons: According to that which appeared to me in the heavenly vision, and which I have known through the word of the holy angels, and have learnt from the heavenly tablets.
Enoch then continues to record facts which relate to his subject, in ten weekly periods:

And Enoch began to recount from the books and said: 'I was born the seventh in the first week, whilst judgement and righteousness still endured...............'

The weeks commence at the Sin of Adam which introduced death into God's creation. It concludes at the time when there will be no more Sin or the consequences of it......through The Day of God to the new heavens and the new earth, The arrangement of the text has minor inaccuracies but positively identifies the dispersion of the chosen root at the time of the destruction of Jerusalem and its Temple in 69/70ad. The present Administration of God's Grace began at this time at the end of Enoch's sixth week. Because of the date of this 'anchor point' it is clear that each Enochian week lasts for 700 years. This simple fact is disputed by many orthodox students of The Word of God, because they do not recognise that this present Administration was 'hid in God' until revealed by the Apostle Paul in 69ad[Ephesians ch.3] and therefore is not included in this Apocalypse.

The Enochian Apocalypse of Weeks can be illustrated as follows:
Taking this as the basis of God's work with the sons of Adam, and recognising the following summary of facts:
The seven days of God's creating and forming prior to the Sin of Adam,
The introduction of the present Administration of The Grace of God which was 'Hidden in God' until it was revealed to The Apostle Paul in 69ad. From the study of Scripture Numbers, it is now known that this Administration will continue for 1960 years See the diagram on page 4.
The Administration of The Fullness of Times [Eph 1:10] prior to The New Creation. In order to complete the Weeks correctly, it will last for 140 years.
Perceiving the fundamental importance of the figure 147 reflecting the age of Jacob/Israel. This being three fundamental periods of 49 years
There was a long period of time following God’s initial act of creation 'In The Beginning....' until the Earth became 'without form and void', commonly known as ‘The Gap’ during which The Covering Cherub, Satan rebelled, resulting in the earth becoming chaotic.

It is now possible to show the times of these activities of God from 'In the Beginning' when the original earth was created through to The New Heaven and The New Earth. This is illustrated by the chart on the following page 5

Further examination of the timing of this plan of God revealed that the present Administration of The Grace of God, lasting for 1960 years, began in 69/70ad at the end of the 6th week. This resulted in a total of 4900 years from the point at which God began to create and form the things of this Earth.

This divided the second period of 14 weeks into exactly two equal parts thus making three periods of seven weeks of years from 'In the Beginning' to The New Heaven and The New Earth.
A. The 14 weeks of 700 years flows from the chaotic condition of the earth at Genesis 1:2 to the opening of the New Heavens and Earth following the disastrous Day of God and the hidden Administration of The Completeness of Times. Each element of time is recognised as: 1. The ten week period of Enoch’s Apocalypse, each 700 years, 2. A similar single week of 700 years for the seven days of God’s Creation and Forming of the earth. 3. A period of 1960 years, 49 forty year spans of probation and chastisement of the Spiritually blind House of Judah.[2.8 weeks] 4. An administration lasting 140 years to complete these times by heading up all in Christ [0.2 weeks] B. The seven weeks of 700 years for the period from God’s creation to its subsequently chaotic condition. Is based upon two facts...a. The 14 weeks referred to in A. above is exactly divided into two equal periods each of 7 weeks at the Temple destruction of 69/70ad b. The total number of years for the whole period is 14,700, where 147 is known to be a fundamental factor of God’s numerological timings.
The details of this chart follow from the previous one by showing the three major time periods defined by: 1. In the beginning God created the Heaven and The Earth [Genesis 1:1] 2. God made a heaven [Genesis 1:7-8] and the earth [Genesis 1:9-10]. 3. A new heaven and a new earth [Revelation 21:1] The second time period of 9800 years is divided into two equal parts at the time when Jerusalem and The Temple were destroyed in 69/70ad at the beginning of the present Administration of God’s Grace [Ephesians 3:2-3 and 8-9]. The most important element used by God is 49 revolutions of the earth around the sun…..49 years. Applied in His dealings with The Chosen Root, the Israelites, it is known in Hebrew as a Yobel or Jubilee. It is otherwise used throughout Scripture to define timings between major events. It is revealed here by the total years being 14700 or 21 weeks of 700 years or 300 Yobels

The first period of 4900 years is that in which Satan as The Anointed and Covering Cherub rebelled against God when iniquity was found in him. It is the period of which we are told that there is no remembrance of former things, but there is no new thing under the sun. [Ecclesiastes 1:11]
Each of the three periods begin with an action of God:

In the beginning God created The Heaven and The Earth
And God said 'Let there be Light' and there was Light.'
Be it known therefore unto you that The Salvation of God is commissioned to the Nations, they will hear it.

Each period ends with an action of God:

And the Earth was without form and void
The Elect of The Earth are blinded and deafened in Spirit.
To gather together in ONE all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on Earth, even in Him.

Thus there are THREE equal periods of 100 Yobels of Years [100 x 49 = 4,900 years] dividing this plan of God:

What significance is there in the wonder of this extraordinary simplicity of God's activity, for we who are living in this present Administration of God's Grace. Our research has shown that the Spiritual deafness and blindness imposed upon The Elect of The World, i.e. The Jews, will shortly be lifted in 2022ad, in order for their Redeemer to fully establish His Godly Kingdom in Israel. Seven years later, in 2029ad, the present Administration of God's Grace will end having run for 1960years from 69ad. During this time all men have enjoyed the untraceable riches of His Grace. He will have named out of Jesus Christ those of the Nations 'to be fellow heirs, concorporates and partakers of His promise in Christ by the gospel', to enjoy all the privileges of The Elect of The Earth. [Ephesians 3:5-7]

Praise be to God.
