The Ages of the Earth


                   ahweh established a plan for the creation that encompasses a determined number of
               Yages. This truth is taught in the Bible, but given little attention by Christians today. The
                   church has very little understanding of the ages of the earth. Our world has known many
               different ages, and there are yet more ages to come. The Scriptures reveal that their will be
               three creations of the earth, and the earth will abide in seven distinct states.


                     The  numbers  three  and  seven  are  very  significant  in  Scriptures.  The  tertiary
               (three-fold) and septenary (seven-fold) design of Yahweh is seen profusely both in the
               creation and in the Scriptures. We have previously observed that Yahweh established three
               great feasts to be observed annually by the Jews. These three feasts break down into seven
               individual moedim, or appointed times.

                 Passover:
                 Feast of Unleavened Bread
                 Firstfruits
                 Passover


                 Pentecost:
                 Pentecost


                 Tabernacles:
                 Rosh Hashanah (Feast of Trumpets)
                 Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement)
                 Sukkot (Tabernacles, Booths)


                     This pattern is a reflection of the godhead. God is revealed to be a tripartite being in
               Scriptures, consisting of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.


                 Matthew 28:19
                 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the
                 Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit..."

                     We have previously looked at the three-fold relationship of God through the parable
               of speech. There is Yahweh (the Father), His breath (the Holy Spirit), and His word (the
               Son). The Scriptures proclaim the tri-part nature of God, but they also reveal a seven-fold
               character.

                 Revelation 4:5
                 And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits
                 of God...


                 Revelation 5:6
                 And I saw between the throne (with the four living creatures) and the elders a Lamb
                 standing, as if slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of
                 God, sent out into all the earth.

                     Some have correlated these seven Spirits of Yahweh to the following passage from
