The Scriptures tell us about the time of the end, not the end of time! The Time of the end is the end of the Old Covenant Jewish age. The FULLNESS OF TIME does not refer to the “end of time”.
“But when the FULLNESS OF TIME had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive THE ADOPTION AS SONS. And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “ABBA FATHER!” Therefore you (Gentiles) are NO LONGER A SLAVE BUT A SON, and if a son, then an HEIR OF GOD THROUGH CHRIST.” – Gal 4:4-7
When the FULLNESS OF TIME had come in the first century AD, Jesus Christ, came in the flesh (born as a son) born to a woman, while the Old Testament Law was still in effect. He ministered to the Jews in Israel for three and one-half years from 26ad to 30ad. He proved that He was the promised Messiah and was God in the flesh. He showed that the “TIME OF THE END” for the Jewish age was near, at the door. – Matt 24:33
Christ fulfilled all of the laws of the Old Covenant system through His life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension in 30ad. He introduced the New Covenant spiritual gospel kingdom to the Jews. His New Covenant was one in which His people were identified by their faith in Christ. No longer were His people slaves to the law, but instead they were children of God and received the Holy Spirit in their hearts.
“that the dispensation of the FULLNESS OF TIMES He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth–in Him.”- Eph 1:10
This spiritual kingdom provided God’s grace and mercy for all of His elect, born-again believers. It was His New Covenant for His people (believing Jews and believing Gentiles). During this transition period) 33ad-66ad) their sins were atoned for, but their salvation was not fully consummated until He returned at His second coming Parousia in 66-70ad. At that time, He destroyed the “old heavens and old earth” of the Jewish religious system.
After 70ad all born-again believers in Christ are members of His New Covenant spiritual gospel kingdom by faith. This is the “new heavens and new earth” in which only righteousness dwells. All [Believers]who make up the new kingdom, have the Holy Spirit indwelling in them. They are all in Christ by faith and thus only righteousness dwells in the spiritual kingdom. As Apostle Paul wrote in late 64ad:
“Nevertheless, we, according to His promise, look for a new heaven and a new earth in which RIGHTEOUSNESS DWELLS.”- 2 Pet 3:13

My thoughts: As I am seeing a ton of deception going around – things like, sacred names movement, Torah observant, Sabbath keepers, Israel only crowd, extreme preterism, futuristic- dispensationalism, Christian nationalism, Christian Zionism, MAGA Trump worship, “Christian converting to Islam” Christians denouncing Christ, People still voting, People still desiring for the Law of Moses (10 commandments) to be plastered in court rooms and classrooms… And the deceptive list goes on, and on and on…All of this will help pave the way for Noahide laws aka: Old Testament legalism to be implemented once again because Spiritual Discernment is not being used. People are more worried about sins of others and desiring to be holier than thou instead of being concerned about spiritual salvation through Christ for themselves and others. They are falling back under deception and the tools of the enemy (the power of the law, sin and eternal death) making all that was defeated at the cross to no avail.
“You have been severed from Christ, if you seek to be justified [that is, declared free of the guilt of sin and its penalty, and placed in right standing with God] through the Law; you have fallen from grace [for you have lost your grasp on God’s unmerited favor and blessing].”- Gal 5:4
I will continue to preach the purity of Christ and will rebuke all that goes against the teachings of Christ and All that goes against the finished works of Christ!
Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction. – 2 Tim 4:2
As we see in this blog that those that have FAITH IN CHRIST AND HIS FINSHED WORKS ON THE CROSS, HAVE REDEMPTION & eternal life IN and with CHRIST! THERE IS NO SECRET NAME, NO SPEACIAL DAY TO WORSHIP, NO COMMANDMENTS TO KEEP IN ORDER TO BE SAVED! NO SPECIAL LINEAGE, NO SPECIAL NATION, NO SPECIAL PERSON (leaders) coming to “fix” things. it is by the Blood of the Lamb that we are saved! NOTHING MORE (adding too) & NOTHING LESS (taking away) from the FINISHED WORKS OF CHRIST!!! *The torah takes away, & the Quaran adds too The Book of life, that is Christ!
Let us not forget, “I testify and warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book [its predictions, consolations, and admonitions]: if anyone adds [anything] to them, God will add to him the plagues (afflictions, calamities) which are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from or distorts the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away [from that one] his share from the tree of life and from the holy city (new Jerusalem), which are written in this book.” -Rev 22:18 -19
CHRIST AND ONLY CHRIST FULLFILLS ALL THINGS! AND is the FULLNESS OF TIME~
It’s crucial that we as Christ believers understand that the world is NEVER GOING TO END. IT was the Old Covenant that would end, and it ended when God came here to become flesh and blood so that He would shed HIS blood upon the Cross to be the last sacrificial Lamb! No more animal sacrificial, religious system. He brought the Old Covenant religious system to AN END! Jews and Muslims desire is for us to stay the slave child instead of the free promised child! It is those two sects of religion that still to this day denies the price paid for their very own salvation, they desire the works of the law to be their payment, and for this they will be held to their rigid, self-righteous works for their salvation.
The Great Commision is not to bring others into the 10 commandments but to bring them into the Body of Christ for salvation and Eternal life!
Also note that the whole “anti-christ”- future messiah return – burning away the whole earth is all Jewish mysticism also believed by the Islamic faith! We need to rebuke these false ‘endtimes’ fallacies NOW in the NAME OF JESUS! Time to come out of the deception!!
We ought to be super cautious not to be so pious that we place ourselves back under the Law of Moses which was impossible to accomplish; hence the need for a savior, and that is JESUS CHRIST! THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES!
All my complete salvation upon Christ sacrificial LOVE<3 Diana 🙂 xo
