UNDERSTANDING OF EVENTS PRIOR TO THE REVELATION OF THE PRESENT ADMINISTRATION OF GOD'S GRACE.

New Page 1

 

The Chart below shows the course of events which was understood and recorded during the Acts period prior to the revelation and introduction of the present Administration of God's Grace in 62ad. Up to that time the Kingdom of Heaven was proclaimed with many Jews, some Israelites and Gentiles being committed.  All events shown on the chart were posponed at 62ad [Acts 28:27] due to the intransigence of the Jews.  God then chose to introduce a period of time, The present Administration of His Grace [Eph 3:1-3 ] during which a record is made recording His Graceful character [Eph 2:4-10].

During that time The Kingdom of God in Israel was proclaimed and many believers joined and acknowledged their King, The Lord Jesus Christ. The present Administration is one of Grace alone. Although it was hidden in God until revealed to the apostle Paul, it would not have been introduced at that time. It is known that since 62ad if God cannot act in Grace at this time, He will not act at all. He is not now acting in judgement upon any nation, believer or non-believer at this time.  During the previous Administration, that of the introduction of The Kingdom of God, The Messiah of Israel, together with His apostles taught and pronounced judgement upon the members of the kingdom churches: e.g. 

Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread and drink this cyup of the Lord unworthily, d blood of the Lord. but let a man examine himself and so let a man eat of that bread and drink of that cup, for he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you and many sleep       1Cor 11:30

It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the nations, that one should have his father’s wife…..in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of The Lord Jesus Christ, to deliver such a one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.    1Cor 5:5

A certain man named Ananias….sold a possession and kept back part of the price. Peter said to him. ‘Why hath Satan filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Spirit….Why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart…... thou hast lied unto God.’ Ananias hearing these words fell down and gave up his spirit.:[Acts 5:1-11]  and upon the members of the tribes of Israel  e.g. [Acts 13:6]

Saul and Barnabas found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-Jesus. Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set  his eyes on Bar-Jesus.  and said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the  devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the  right ways of the Lord?  And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt  be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him  a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the  hand.

The acts of judgement ceased when The Kingdom of God in Israel was postponed in 62ad [Acts 28:27] . Nothing was known of this present administration of Grace in which there are no Godly acts of judgement until God revealed it to the apostle Paul in 69ad [Eph 3:1 to 3 and 8 to 9]

During the time of the Acts of the Apostles when Paul wrote his first seven letters to Christians in Thessalonica, Galatia, Corinth, Rome and the Hebrews, Israel was expecting the imminent Godly fulfilment of many prophecies by the setting up of the Kingdom of The Heavens with the resurrected King David upon the throne. However, God judged The House of Judah, the Jews, to be unready for such blessings and therefore it was postponed to introduce a period when probation, trial and chastisement [gematria: 40] would prevail upon them, even as it is to-day.
