Timeline: History of the Earth: Ages of Fulfillment, Reformation, The End Times Year 4080 to Current

History of Creation
Year	Event	Notes	Date in B.C.E (Before the Common Era)
4080	Jesus is born.  The 5th Age begins, the Age of Fulfillment.		5
4085	The beginning of the Common Era.  Dates from this point forward are in C.E.	Interestingly, I have set the beginning of the Common Era here.  If you notice, Jesus begins his ministry in 25 C.E.  However, in most timelines Jesus begins his ministry in 28 C.E.  I'm not sure why historians have done this.  If Jesus was born 5 C.E., as they claim, and Jesus was 30 years old when he began his ministry, that would be 25 C.E.  Thus 28 C.E. would be when Jesus died.  This means that the dates are about 2 years off.  I do believe, however, that the temple was destroyed 40 years after Jesus died, for 40 is a number that consistently pops up in the Bible.  It makes sense that God would destroy the temple 40 years after Messiah had sacrificed his life for the sins of the world.	0
4110	Ministry of Jesus.		25
4113	Death and resurrection of Jesus.	In Daniel's prophecy of the 70 weeks, found in chapter 9, if it takes 62 weeks from the time Jerusalem is finished being repaired and the time Jesus dies on the cross, for "after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself", and if each week represents 7 years, then we come to 434 years.  This brings us right to 4113.	28
4150	The First Jewish-Roman War, the Great Revolt, begins when anti-taxation protests and attacks upon Roman citizens escalate.  The Roman governor, Gessius Florus, responds by plundering the Jewish Temple.  The tensions increase over the next 3 and a half years.	Many do not believe that Daniel 9's prophecy has been fulfilled yet, as they believe it is a prophecy for the End Times, when the Anti-Christ will come to Earth as it states in Revelation.  However, history seems to very perfectly fulfill this prophecy.  The 62 weeks lead right up to Christ being sacrificed on the cross, as is mentioned in Year 4113.  So there were 7 weeks between Cyrus commanding the rebuilding of Jerusalem and its completion and then 62 weeks up to Christ dying on the cross.  Then notice how it seems a lot of terrible things are going to occur, as if there is a pause in the 70 weeks.  After Christ dies, there will be desolations.  Then the one who brings desolation shall confirm a covenant with many for one week.  And in the middle of the week he will end sacrifice and offering.  So here is how I believe this is translated.  Christ died, ending 69 weeks.  Then there is a gap in time between Christ's death and the final week of the 70 weeks.  The last week begins in Year 4150 when the First Jewish-Roman War begins.  History tells us that this war lasts for 3 1/2 years until Jerusalem is besieged, the Temple is destroyed, and from this point on no Jews sacrifice animals again.  Thus, the middle of the week is when Jerusalem is destroyed and animal sacrifice ends.  From that point on, animal sacrifice was not practiced again except in some smaller communities.  Interestingly, it is as if God forced Jews to stop sacrificing animals because they were no longer needed.  Messiah had come!  He, being the perfect sacrifice, had created the Third Temple, that of a person's body, dwelling in their hearts even as scripture had promised.  This all being said, there will undoubtedly be a second time that this prophecy is fulfilled.  The book of Revelation teaches us that there will be a time in the future when the Anti-Christ will come and Christ will return again, ushering in a new Heaven and a new Earth.  Many of the events in Daniel 9 will repeat themselves during this time.  So it is true that though many of these things were fulfilled already with the destruction of Jerusalem, they will happen again in the future.  The destruction of Jerusalem is a shadow of things to come; a type of what will happen on a far more grand scale.  The Roman Emperor Titus is symbolic of the future Anti-Christ and Gessius Florus is symbolic of the False Prophet that will come.  This time, however, instead of the physical Jerusalem and physical Temple, the Anti-Christ and the False Prophet will attack the Spiritual Jerusalem and the Third Temple; this is the Church of Jesus Christ and the body of each human who accepts Christ as their Lord and Savior.  Interestingly, this seems to be happening today, doesn't it, as more and more are falling away from Christ and seeking after the things of this world; the images that Satan and his followers create for all of us to worship.	65
4153	Jerusalem is destroyed by the Roman Emperor Titus.	This fulfills Daniel 9's prophecy of weeks.  At the end of the destruction, in verse 26, it says that there would be a flood.  Josephus wrote, "Round the Altar the heaps of corpses grew higher and higher, while down the Sanctuary steps poured a river of blood and the bodies of those killed at the top slithered to the bottom."  The flood was not a literal flood of water, but of blood.  So many died that day that Jerusalem had become a flood of blood.  The Hebrew translation for flood means "overwhelm, overflow, swamp, deluge, sluice, wash, rinse, wash away, swab, swill, torrent, spate, downpour, downfall, inundation, torrent, stream or current."  Therefore, the blood flowing through the streets would fit well with Daniel 9's fulfillment.	68
4156	The First Jewish-Roman War ends.	Wikipedia:  During the spring of 71, Titus set sail for Rome. A new military governor was then appointed from Rome, Lucilius Bassus, whose assigned task was to undertake the "mopping-up" operations in Judea. He used X Fretensis to besiege and capture the few remaining fortresses that still resisted. Bassus took Herodium, and then crossed the Jordan to capture the fortress of Machaerus on the shore of the Dead Sea and then continued into the Forest of Jardus on the northern shore of the Dead Sea to pursue some 3,000 Judean rebels under the leadership of Judah ben Ari, whom he swiftly defeated.  Because of illness, Bassus did not live to complete his mission. Lucius Flavius Silva replaced him, and moved against the last Judean stronghold, Masada, in the autumn of 72. He used Legio X, auxiliary troops, and thousands of Jewish prisoners, for a total of 10,000 soldiers. After his orders for surrender were rejected, Silva established several base camps and circumvallated the fortress. According to Josephus, when the Romans finally broke through the walls of this citadel in 73, they discovered that 960 of the 967 defenders had committed suicide.	71
4410	First Council of Nicaea held.  End of the 5th Age.  The 6th Age begins, the Age of Preservation	I count this the end of the Age of Fulfillment because Christianity, up until this time, was not a government religion nor a truly organized religion.  The Gospel of Jesus Christ was persecuted until this time.  Therefore, Christians were not so focused on preserving Christianity.  They were focused on spreading the Gospel and on the Gifts of the Spirit.  After this date, Christians began to religion-ize Christianity in order to preserve it.  Besides this, secular leaders began to heavily influence doctrine, thus perverting the Gospel and the teachings of the Early Church leaders.  This being said, many good things came out of this change as well.  Christianity became a leading religion, and many were saved throughout the centuries because of this.  However, in the same respect, many atrocities were done in the name of Christ, such as the Crusades and the Inquisition.  So although many came to a saving knowledge of Christ, Christians, because of this switch in mentality, had committed many terrible crimes against others.  Christ's ultimate teaching of "love one another as yourselves" seemed to be thrown out for political reasons, power trips, and even individuals' desires to do right by getting people saved but simply doing it in the wrong way.	325
5600	Martin Luther publishes his Ninety-five Theses and sparks the Reformation.  The 6th Age ends.  The 7th Age begins, the Last Age; the End Times.	A lot happens after the Reformation.  Again, many good things happen, but also many bad things.  One major good thing is that common men begin to read the Bible and study it with a newfound desire to be closer to God.  Gifts of the Spirit begin to increase again.  Revivals occur.  There is a true move of God as the Spirit is poured out on all flesh.  The Gospel is once more spread across the world as missionaries begin to go into new lands wherever the Gospel has not been preached.  The bad that occurs is the decentralization of Christianity.  No longer are Christians united, but they begin to fight amongst themselves, killing one another simply because they don't believe the same things about Christ.  Denomination upon denomination begin to rise up, and the church becomes divided.  This then destroys the credibility of the church, and the Bible, so that many scientists and philosophers begin to seek new answers to the questions of life.  Historians begin to find new reasons to "disprove" the Bible's accuracy.  Now, even Christians have begun to throw out the Bible as inaccurate, only using it as a "guidebook" instead of as a truly foundational document that is 100% accurate.  Instead of trusting God's Word, even Christians begin to come up with new beliefs and new ideas about Christ that deviate heavily from the Early Church leaders and from Christ himself.  Now, those who say they are Christian are not always truly Christians.  Now we find Christianity is just another religion, and more and more Christians are opting to accept a universal religious stance that all religions lead to truth and we should all just get along and not fight about our beliefs.  Now it is a crime for a Christian to stand on the Word of God and proclaim God's truth because we have allowed our division to destroy us.  This is why Christ said, "A house divided cannot stand."  Because of the Reformation, Christianity's power has both increased and decreased.  Those who truly follow God, their power has increased.  Meanwhile, those who do not follow Christ, they make it difficult to teach others about Christ, for their lies now cloud out the truth, warping the perceptions of many.  Those who say they are Christians but do not practice the true teachings of Christ, they give a bad name to all Christians everywhere, destroying our credibility and our reputation.	1515
6103+	Current Day	We now live in the 7th Millennium of the history of mankind.  Notice how the events of the 1900s would then have been the end of the 6th Millennium.  Thus, it makes sense that the end of the 6th Millennium would see the escalation of World-Wide events such as the World Wars, he Cold War, 9/11, etc.  We are seeing the events of the last days played out.  Certainly, no man can predict when the end will finally come, for Jesus said that "no man knows the day nor the hour" but we can all see that it's coming.  Mankind cannot continue to live as it is living today without tragedy striking.  The more reliant we become on technology, the greater our fall will be.  Mankind realizes we are destroying our world, for movies and TV shows often portray this theme.  This is why so many are looking to the stars, to escape Earth.  We are destroying it and we know disaster is on its way.  This should tell us all the more that the end is coming.  If God destroyed the Tower of Babel to keep mankind from reaching the heavens too soon, how much more will He bring the end of all things before mankind is able to colonize a single planet?  Space is hostile.  We were not meant to go there.  No planets near us can support life.  Therefore, we know that once Earth is gone, destroyed by our own sins, that is it!  Then God will return and recreate the Earth into a new paradise where all those who call upon the Name of the Lord shall be resurrected and shall live forever in peace and harmony.	2018+
