The Consummation

God’s creation is being restored in stages throughout the ages, and will find its complete culmination at the “Consummation” of the ages (“the Day of God”). At that time all death will be abolished, as well as all illusory human “sovereignty,” “authority,” and “free will.”

In the “Consummation” (I Corinthains 15:24, CV) we find the Ultimate Sphere of Glory, a place where God Himself is “All in all.” God created the entire universe out of Himself. There once was nothing but God, and everything came forth out of Him. Of a surety, “out of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are ALL things” (Romans 11:36). God is the beginning of “all,” and He will be the consummation of “all.” This is the divine goal: “that God will be All in all” (I Corinthians 15:28, DT). In other words, God will be “Everything in everything” and “Everything to everyone.” His entire creation – without exception – will be gloriously complete and in perfect harmony with Himself; all that there is, ever was, and ever will be, coming out of, operating through, and returning to Him. What a grand conclusion!

Kingdom of the Heavens

[ Editor: ] The coming Kingdom Administration begins with the Pre-Millennial (“ the Kingdom of the Heavens, ” including the full Seventy-Sevens of Daniel). God is always absolutely sovereign over the affairs of man. This truth is hidden from the perception of mankind during “ Man’s Day .” But beginning with the “ Day of Christ ” this absolute sovereignty will be made abundantly manifest .  This phase of the prophetic phase will last between 500-700 years, depending on how one approaches the passages. If considering the 700-year period, 33 of these years have already taken place during the Acts period, as “ the blade ” stage the Kingdom (Mark 4:26-29). For more information of the 700-year period see, -           “666 ,” Otis Q. Sellers, Bible Student’s Notebook 909 ; -       “The Parable of the Kingdom's Growing Grain,” Andrew Brown, Bible Student’s Notebook 909 .
