The End of the Times of the Gentiles and the Restoration of the Kingdom
The Final Stage of God’s Plan on Earth
The Fulfillment of Prophecy: The End of the Gentile Age
The Times of the Gentiles refer to the period in which Gentile nations control Jerusalem, as stated by Jesus in Luke 21:24:
"Jerusalem will be trampled by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled."
This period marks a temporary rule by worldly powers until God’s Kingdom is fully established. According to prophecy, this age is measured in cycles, each lasting 42 months, amounting to seven total periods:
- First Period (2001-2004) – The Kingdom was established on September 11, 2001, marking the transition into divine restoration.
- Second Period (2004-2007) – Global turmoil increases, economic shifts begin.
- Third Period (2007-2010) – The financial collapse of 2008, weakening Babylon’s economy.
- Fourth Period (2010-2013) – The rise of political instability, fragmentation of nations.
- Fifth Period (2013-2016) – Increasing signs of the beast’s influence across governments.
- Sixth Period (2016-2019) – The emergence of the eighth king, fulfilling Revelation 17.
- Seventh Period (2019-2025) – The final stage before restoration—Babylon’s downfall, the sealing of the 144,000, and divine governance.
Now, we stand at the final moment—where God’s authority will be fully manifested.
The Twelve Gates and the Restoration of Divine Order
The New Jerusalem descends from heaven (Revelation 21:2), symbolizing the Kingdom’s earthly reign. The city is structured with twelve gates, representing the twelve tribes of Israel:
"It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel." (Revelation 21:12)
This fulfillment ensures:
- Spiritual unity among God’s people.
- Restored governance under divine law and righteousness.
- The rightful inheritance of those sealed for the Kingdom.
The 144,000: Chosen to Reign in the Kingdom
God has sealed His faithful servants, chosen from the twelve tribes (Revelation 7). Their purpose in the Kingdom is clear:
- They serve as priests, judges, and leaders, ensuring righteous governance.
- They carry God’s law, delivering truth and justice on earth.
- They are witnesses, standing in testimony to God’s victory over Babylon.
The Earthly Throne of David and Divine Leadership
God has promised that David’s throne will be reestablished upon the earth:
"I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood, and I will establish his kingdom." (2 Samuel 7:12)
This confirms:
- Jesus reigns in heaven, but earthly order must also be restored.
- The first appointed king governs under Christ’s divine rulership.
- Elijah, the forerunner of restoration, plays a key prophetic role.
The Final Battle: Divine Order in Heaven and Earth
Satan and his followers rebelled against divine order, but restoration must occur both in heaven and on earth. Revelation foretells that Satan will be released once more, testing the Kingdom before final victory:
"When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations." (Revelation 20:7-8)
Therefore:
- The Kingdom on earth must be firmly established.
- Divine governance must mirror heaven’s rule.
- The final confrontation ensures everlasting peace.
The Path Forward: Establishing Righteousness
The Times of the Gentiles have ended, and the Kingdom is now being formed. Babylon’s fall ensures that God’s chosen servants will uphold His law upon the earth.
