For a better understanding of how I have organized history and the timelines of nations in history, see my postings (a) Outline of World History on June 19, 2017 and (b) Generic Timelines on June 20, 2017.
2 – HISTORIC PERIOD CONTINUED
2C – LATE HISTORIC ERA (1453 AD-PRESENT)
It (a) began with the Fall of Constantinople, (b) has lasted over 568 years (1453 AD-Present), during which the followers of the Messiah have grown from millions at the end of the Middle Ages to over 2 billion men, women, and children who live on every continent and island of the globe, and (c) will end with the 2nd Coming of Messiah at an unknown date. I have divided it into five non-temporal parts: [1]
2C-1 – The Occident In The Late Historic Era – I have divided it into three minor periods, the first of which was
2C-1A – Exploratory Age (1453-c.1750 AD) – It (a) began with the Fall of Constantinople, (b) lasted 297 years, during which western adventurers explored the world on land and sea, and (c) ended with the Harnessing of Mechanical Energy (c.1750) in lighting, manufacturing, transportation, etc. It was followed by
2C-1B – Revolutionary Age (1750-1918 AD) – It (a) began with the Harnessing of Mechanical Energy, (b) lasted 168 years, during which profound revolutions occurred in many fields (communications, government, industry, religion, etc.), and (c) ended with the catastrophe of World War I (1914-1918), during which (i) the mobilization of whole societies for mechanized, total warfare and (ii) the creation and management of large armies, navies, and rapidly developing air-forces transformed nations into vast, centralized, all-controlling states. It was followed by
2C-1C – Globalist Age (1918 AD to present) – An oligarchy of the super-rich have been working for over 100 years now to create a New World Order that will control the nations of the world. They have been using war between nations, terrorism within nations, abortion of the unborn, euthanasia of the elderly, and genocide of vulnerable minorities to slaughter humans on a titanic scale, thereby intentionally killing or maiming men, women, and children by the millions. It is already the most lethal period in human history, and I believe it will get worse. Happily, I also believe that the Lord, leading a host of archangels and angels, will appear in the heavens, wreak vengeance on a sin-soaked world, and create a new heaven and a new Earth for His faithful followers to inhabit under His rule – i.e. the 2nd Coming of Messiah (date unknown).
2C-2 – The Middle East In The Late Historic Era
2C-3 – The Orient In The Late Historic Era
2C-4 – The Sacred In The Late Historic Era – I have divided this part into three major periods, the first of which was
2C-4A – Bride of Messiah’s Betrothal (1453 AD-Present) – It (a) began with the Fall of Constantinople, (b) has lasted for over 568 years (1453-Present), and (c) will end with the 2nd Coming of Messiah (date unknown). The latter will constitute a blessing for Messiah’s followers, who will be caught up into the air to be with Him forever, and a catastrophe for Messiah’s opponents, who will perish as the old heavens and the old Earth pass away and the creation of the new heavens and the new Earth commences.
2C-5 – Geology In The Late Historic Era
2C-5A – The Holocene Epoch’s Atlantic Age continued – It (a) began with the Fall of Constantinople, (b) has extended through over 568 years (1453 AD-Present), and (c) will end with an unknown event at an unknown time.
