Faith in Each Era and the Level of Its Culture

The Bible encompasses about 6,000 years of biblical history since Adam’s time. In this 6,000 years of history, there were the eras of Adam, Noah, Moses, Jesus’ first coming, and the era of Jesus’ return.

Whether it is culture in terms of a physical or spiritual sense, which of these eras is civilized with culture? In the sense of both world history and religion, today’s culture of heaven is the highest. There is, however, one thing that remains the same in the past and present time: it is the aspect of people’s life of faith, which is their faith and knowledge (refer to Hos 4:6). Believers during the first coming of Jesus did not know the meaning of the Old Testament prophecies. Likewise, today’s believers at the time of the second coming do not know the meaning of the New Testament prophecies (refer to Is 29:9-13; Jn 1:11; Rv 5:2-4).  

Those who claimed to believe in the Old Testament (the promise of God) at the first coming refused to believe when the physical fulfillment of the Old Testament (Jesus and the work he fulfilled) appeared. They opposed Jesus by calling him a heretic, even crucifying him. In the same way, people claim to believe in the New Testament (the promise of Jesus), but they are refusing to believe in the fulfillment of the New Testament (the one who overcomes and the fulfilled work), although it has appeared. They, just as in the past times, are going against the one who overcomes, labeling him as a heretic and attempting to kill him. This is the same aspect of the life of faith that the believers between the past and present times share.
