The Plan

Duration: 365 days

Prophecy Thread of Week 1

Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary Definition of Truth:
Conformity to fact or reality; exact accordance with that which is, or has been, or shall be. The truth of history constitutes its whole value. We rely on the truth of the scriptural prophecies.

GOD’S PLAN FOR ALL HUMANITY

God is omniscient. Proverbs eight states that before He ever created anything, He had wisdom. This wisdom is His plan. It cannot be altered. He sees the beginning from the end. Thus, the ultimate truth is obtained by coming into relationship with the divine Creator of heaven and earth, Who made this possible by faith in Jesus Christ. The complete fulfillment of the plan will occur when the new heaven and new earth come forth with God the Father dwelling with humanity (Rev 21:3).

PROMISED

THE PLAN

BEFORE TIME

Psa 33:11a But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, **

FULFILLED

JUDAH DURING THE ASSYRIAN CAPTIVITY

711 BC, 713 BC (U)

Isa 48:3 I foretold the former things long ago, my mouth announced them and I made them known; then suddenly I acted, and they came to pass.

JEREMIAH’S PROPHECIES

588 BC, 590 BC (U)

Jer 33:3 ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’

BEING FULFILLED

UNDERSTANDING INCREASES IN THE LATTER DAYS

CURRENT DAY

Amo 3:7 Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.

WILL BE FULFILLED

THE NEW JERUSALEM – THE CAPITAL OF THE UNIVERSE

ETERNAL AGES TO COME

Rev 21:5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

Prophecies declared are in blue, prophecies fulfilled are in red, prophecies currently being fulfilled are in green, and prophecies to be fulfilled are in orange. Bold historical context dates are from Jeff Swanson's The Plan dating system, and dates marked (U) are Archbishop Ussher's 1658 dating system.
** The date of this prophecy is in its referential context: the verse has been moved to the time frame of its contextual orientation.
