I aked if I can use this in my forums to help out......
This is one of the tracks we pass out at our church
.. .... Mystery
" Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." ll Timothy 2:15
... THE CROSS - Historically convered in Matthew-John
The most significant event in all of human history was when Jesus Christ (God manifested in the flesh) came into this world to be Israel's King. Although He fulfilled the words of the prophets, Jesus Christ was rejected and crucified. He was buried, but rose three days afterward to become Israel's Savior, In His death, He became the author of eternal life and the Savior of all who believe on Him.
.. THE ASCENSION - Concluding the gospels, picking up in Acts
Forty days after the resurrection, Jesus Christ ascended back into heaven until the time to destroy His enemies. Twelve Apostles were left behind to carry on His ministry. They proclaimed that Jesus Christ would return to establish the Kingdom as promised to Abraham and David. " WHICH GOD HATH SPOKEN BY THE MOUTH OF ALL HIS HOLY PROPHETS SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN, " (ACTS 3:21).
. THE HOLY SPIRIT POURED OUT - His ministry is recorded in Acts
The Holy Spirit of God was poured out on the believing remnant of Israel as a partial fulfillment of the new covenant - the means of bringing about the spiritual birth of their nation and empowering them to be God's witnesses in the earth. But in Acts 7, Israel resisted the Holy Spirit. They rejected the witness of the Father through the Old Testament prophets. They rejected the witness of the son during His earthly ministry. Now they had rejected the witness of the Holy Spirit through the believing remnant and it was time for God to pour out His wrath.
. THE DISPENSATION OF GRACE - Paul's Epistles: Romans-Philemon
( Mystery)
Gentiles turned from God long ago and now when Israel rejected Him, it w came time for God to condemn the world. But instead of wrath, God dispensed "Grace" ( an unprophesied age).
He cut Israel off and extended mercy to all. In Acts 9, Jesus Christ saved His arch enemy, Saul, and made him Paul-the Apostle to the gentiles. To Paul was revealed the "MYSTERY" of a new purpose God is accomplishing today by the cross "...WHICH WAS KEPT SECRET SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN..." (ROM. 16:25, Eph. 3: 1-11). how that God was free by the perfect and complete payment for sin made at the cross to save all mankind by His grace through faith in the blood of Jesus Christ; that believers today make up the Body of Christ and are given a position in the heavenly places; and that , whether dead or alive, we shall be caught up to meet the Lord in the air and be saved from the wrath to come.
.. THE WRATH TO COME - The warnings of Hebrews - Revelation
The wrath of God predicted by the prophets, John the Baptist, Peter, James and John, will be poured out upon this world after this age of grace is over. God will then resume when He left off with Israel and the world's rejection. The book of Revelation will become a visible reality. Seven years of tribulation and wrath will commence. Midway through Satan will be cast out of heaven to the earth. He will indwell a world dictator take control of the world economy and force Israel and all other nations to worship him as God.
THE 2 nd COMING OF JESUS CHRIST - For seen in Revelation
Immediately after the tribulation of those days, Jesus Christ will return, taking vengeance on all who sided with Satan . He will destroy all His enemies and save the believing remnant of Israel. He will be "KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS." Satan will be bound. There will be resurrection of all the saints of the old and those who died for the testimony of Jesus Christ during the tribulation; and they shall reign with Christ . Those who are alive at His return and who survived His judgement will repopulate the earth during the nest 1000 years.
THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM - Established upon Christ's return - Rev. 20
The initial phase of Jesus Christ's Kingdom will last 1000 years. During this millennial reign, the curse of sickness and death will be lifted from the earth. Justice, peace and prosperity will fill the earth. Israel will be a royal nation and a kingdom of priests, teaching the gentile nations the laws and ways of God. The earth will be at peace and rest until Satan is loosed after 1000 years to try the hearts of those born during this time. Once again God's judgement will fall and Satan - along with all the unbelievers of all the ages - will be sentenced to the lake of fire for eternity. Then the saved will enter into the New Heaven and New Earth to enjoy life and peace and the presence of God, our Savior, forever.

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
