This is a Bible Study course with supportive commentary
The Bible is the foundation upon which rests basic truth. There is an all-powerful, eternal LORD God, who has revealed Himself, Jesus Christ and their grand plan, purpose, for mankind. The plan’s entirety covers 7,000 years. Everything we need to understand is revealed in the inspired writings — the Old Testament and New Testament — The Holy Bible.
The instructor (writer of these teachings) has many years of experience in the study and communications of these matters. These teachings are unique, comprehensive and will be, to many, new. Every effort is made to set forth these writings in an uncomplicated and understandable manner.
Background and purpose
The idea of these teachings is to provide thought-provoking material that will add to one’s appreciation and understanding of God and His word.
With men nothing is perfect, the expectation is to do the best we possibly can. To continue to examine and study and accept correction in order to achieve ongoing clarification.
Intellectual and Justification Statements
I believe the best way to understand the state of affairs concerning the serious situations and conditions found among the world’s nations today is an extensive, comprehensive examination of history. True and accurate history explains past human activity, where mankind today stands in the grand plan and scheme of things and the future.
Thus my premise is simply this: There is an all-powerful creator Lord God who is responsible for everything that has existence. Second, the Bible is His inspired word of revelation and explanation. What is being offered is not the common Christian/Judeo explanations and teachings, but many years of extensive research and detailed study — a fresh and new approach.
A reasonable and common-sense approach for understanding the most difficult and complex times this country and all nations and peoples face.
One man wrote, “Scripture reveals a grand narrative, one that explains the foundational questions of life: Where we came from, who we are, what has gone wrong in our world, what the solution is, and where we are going. These 66 writings contours an authoritative and truthful story that gives a clear perspective.”
The Bible is God’s instruction book given for man’s benefit. In these inspired writings He reveals His purpose and sets the standards for truth and righteousness. It is also the history, present condition, and future for success. Humanity has been given independent thinking and behavior — the ability to make evaluations and choices. The grand purpose and plan demands time and experience.
Intentions & Objectives
The purpose of these writings is to fill in important details, correct (suggest) certain ideas, and thinking. In other words, a new and comprehensive approach that more correctly and fully communicates the intent of Biblical scripture. This is not new truth, but a sorting-out process for the benefit and enlightenment of those men and women who consider matters of this nature important and worthy for further investigation.
My hope is to share information and knowledge that helps give a clearer understanding for the world we live in. To provide greater appreciation for mankind’s current standing in the grand purpose of history now in the making. Why national and world conditions are as they are. Provide reasonable explanations for why peoples, societies, and governments are moving in the directions that more and more are creating uncontrollable tensions and confrontations.
America, in fact, all nations of the world are on the edge of a total breakdown
- First and foremost, America and other “Christian” nations are no longer Christian. God and His revealed standards of conduct are ignored and considered out of date and out of touch.
- Our educational institutions from the lowest to the highest are failures. These places of “learning” are a primary source for national degeneration.
- Business practices. Greed that disregards human weakness and takes advantage to make unreasonable profits. Behavior that falsely reasons for the good of the majority; collateral damage is acceptable.
- Governmental hypocrisy and foolishness. The vast majority of leadership have no, or very little, foundational understanding or desire for untainted rules and regulations. Our leaders at all levels of governance are caught in flawed humanistic reasoning. Greed for power and money in order to gain influence and their way, regardless of the consequences.
- Social norms. Our traditional Judeo/Christian values, the core of the Western world’s greatness, are trashed. The traditional empirical family insulted and belittled. Said to be of little value in our modern societies. Immoral behavior of all sorts is the new accepted standard.
Man’s intentions and hopes to do better — but matters continue to get worse
Striving to understand the times we live in, the here and now, is a complex task — even more so trying to determine what to expect for the future. How to prepare for the unknown of tomorrow, next month, and the years ahead.
Much of the world has a quality of life and prosperity previous generations could only dream about. By the same token the death and destruction that comes with war and society breakdown keeps advancing, moving to the point now in history where mankind has the means to totally vacate planet Earth.
Rightly understanding history is the key to appreciating the times we now live in and the immediate future. History books by the thousands record from the beginning the good and the bad produced by our efforts. Yet we, mankind, seem unable to grasp the meaning and lessons of human experience.
Why mankind struggles
Knowledge & understanding for correctly sorting out these difficult matters have always been before us – but constantly rejected.
- First: There is a Lord/God who is the originator of all things, without exception. The giver of life for a grand purpose.
- Second: The Bible with its history and detailed explanations is the tool which gives us the state of being, today and for the future.
- Third: Humans are free moral agents given ability to make independent judgments and decisions for all matters. Living as individuals, as part of family and community, also interacting socially and as part of national governance.
Winston Churchill remarked, “The farther back you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see.” David Russell wrote, “The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn.”
God has a 6,000 year plan; actually, it is a 7,000 year plan. For the first 6,000 years it has been a hands-off policy — mankind allowed unrestricted self-determination. The program is designed to give humanity the opportunity for experiences in living a life in harmony with His beneficial directives or otherwise. So it is human experience has produced good and bad results.
The further mankind has drifted into humanistic reasonings, thoughts and works apart from God, the worse matters have become. The more contrary and self-determined the greater the meltdown. The end time of the 6,000 year plan is upon us and brings challenges that we will not be able to control.
Links to foundational information
The following is an introduction to four comprehensive writings of explanation. Knowledge and experience based on provable facts and history. Forming a foundation of truth supported by reasonable and realistic explanation.
- “Identifying The One True Lord/God and His Son, Jesus The Christ”
Their relationship and purpose for mankind. The arrangement and management of the 6,000 year plan. - “God In The History of the English Speaking Peoples”
Why and how America and Great Britain became the greatest of nations — especially their rapid ascent from the Protestant Reformation. - “Analyzing Biblical Timeline Events From The Year 2001 To Messiah’s Return”
Mankind is in the very last few years of self-determination. He will be saved from His complete failure and He will obtain, be given, true lasting peace and justice for all. - “Setting a Reasonable Period of Time For the Return of Jesus Christ”
From the Fall of the year 2000 begins the count for the redeemed years. Thus 2001 begins the 24 year count to the Fall ending the year 2025. This is numerically correct but scripturally there is more to this matter of determination for the final approximate date, space of time, for Messiah’s return.
Sincerely,
