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
