The Bible reveals six distinct periods, administrations, or programs and provides a framework that reveals how God has structured His progressive revelation:
- Mankind (Gen 1-11)
- Israel (the call of Abraham (Gen 12) to Malachi + the four Gospels)
- The Church (the apostle Paul and his 13 epistles of Romans through Philemon)
- The Time of Jacob’s Trouble (Daniel’s 70th Week, the Tribulation period, Hebrews through Revelation)
- The Kingdom (1,000 year reign of Christ on Earth, Rev 20)
- Eternity (the New Heaven and New Earth, Rev 21 and 22)
