The John Class are the last-day Christians who have accepted all seven counsels to the seven churches and recognize the Seventh Angel (the celestial angel) as the angel “coming up from the east” (Revelation 7:2) which has this final message, the “seal” of God. This special message “seals” the true saints in their “foreheads” (minds) and is ultimately handed down to the 144,000 before the final Great Tribulation.

Understand the Ages, Dispensations & Epochs

The Three Earth Ages:

The early Christian church developed a systematic theology which allows us to understand the Bible in sections. We find in 2^nd Peter ch.3 the fact of the first three divisions. Apostle Peter speaks of three different “ages” [Greek: aions]. Many English versions calls these “worlds” instead of ages. The first age that Peter mentions is from Adam and Eve until Noah’s flood. He calls this, “the age that then was”. He states that this first age ended with the “great flood” during the time of Noah.

The second age that Peter mentions is “the age which is now”, our present “world”. Apostle Paul calls this the “present evil age” (Galatians 1:4). This age will last from the time of the ancient flood all the way up until the second coming of Jesus Christ. Then, finally, Peter speaks about the “world [age] which is to come” (2^nd Peter 3:13). This will be the New Earth during the Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ. This final third Earth age will last 1000 years (Revelation 20:1-3).

So, these are the “three Earth ages” (or “worlds”). This is the first basic understanding of the “three phase” plan of God in regards to planet Earth. The second way to understand different sections of God’s plan is to understand the seven dispensations. These are listed as follows:

The Seven Dispensations:

(First three dispensations comprise the first Earth Age.)

1^st Dispensation: The Edenic dispensation. This starts at the creation of Adam and Eve (the representatives of Humanity) and ends with their “fall”, their fall into sin.

2^nd Dispensation: The Adamic dispensation. Starts with the fall of Adam and Eve and ends with Noah’s flood. At the end of this dispensation a group of evil angels were judged and are being held in a place called “tartarus”.

3^rd Dispensation: The Noahic dispensation. Starts after the great flood and extends up until the tower of Babel. Early Human governments came into power during this time.

(Dispensations 4-6 comprise the current - second Earth Age.)

4^th Dispensation: The Abrahamic dispensation. Starts with the destruction of the tower of Babel and the call of Abraham. Ends with Israel’s captivity in Egypt.

5^th Dispensation: The Mosaic dispensation. Starts with Moses and his mission to free Israel from Egypt. Ends with him freeing Israel from Egypt and bringing them into the covenant of the promised land.

6^th Dispensation: The Ecclesiastical dispensation. Starts with the birth of the Messiah (Jesus Christ). Continues to the building of the Christian Church. We are currently still in this Christian dispensation. We are in the time of the “gospel” and the “Kingdom in mystery”. At the end of this dispensation, we will enter the “Kingdom in manifestation”, the Millennial Age.

(The seventh dispensation is the third Earth Age in total.)

7^th Dispensation: This will be the final dispensation and will start after the great tribulation and second coming of Jesus Christ with His church. It will last 1000 years. The church will rule with Christ on a restored planet Earth. This seventh dispensation will also be the 3^rd and final Earth “age” or aion.

The Seven Epochs:

Since we are currently experiencing the 6^th dispensation, the Chirstian/Church dispensation, it must be understood that this dispensation can be divided into seven parts called “epochs”. These comprise what we refer to as the “seven church epochs”.

In the book of Revelation, ch.2-3 we find that Jesus Christ gave counsel to seven churches. These were historical churches existing during the time of apostle John and also represent the state of the Christian church going through seven consecutive periods in ecclesiastical history.

Each counsel covers the condition of the Christian church throughout time. The seven timelines for these churches, as understood moving through time is as follows:

1^st Ephesus (70-170 AD) – Apostolic church. Time that the New Testament was completed.

2^nd Smyrna (170-312 AD) – Persecuted church also plagued with Gnosticism.

3^rd Pergamos (312-606 AD) – State church started through apostacy. Also, time the Trinity doctrine was attacked.

4^th Thyatira (606-1520 AD) – Papal church. Rome hijacked the bulk of Christianity. Attempt at early reformation begins.

5^th Sardis (1520-1750 AD) – Reformed church. Church frees itself from Papal control.

6^th Philadelphia (1750-1900 AD) – Missionary church. Time that Protestants come forth with the true gospel.

7^th Laodicea (1900-? AD) – Apostate church. Church fallen asleep. Corrupted with false doctrine and denominationalism. This is the current state of the Christian church that we are all experiencing.

Since the beginning of this “seventh” church epoch there has been world wars, tragedies at global levels, terrorist attacks, sickness, disease, increase of crime and secularism, loss of faith. This has caused the church to break apart into thousands of denominations and to fall asleep. The current church is in the Laodicean condition.

This ministry (The Shepherds Way & Nugget of Truth) is a ministry of the Ancient Antiochene Church of God and we are sharing the final (Seventh Angel’s) message to the Christian church as given through the counsel to Laodicea. We have called it, “The Seventh Epochal Revelation”. We invite all Christians to watch all of Presbyter King’s lectures and messages regarding proper Biblical understanding to learn more regarding these extremely important issues.

As this second Earth age ends, we are confronted with UFO’s, talk of extraterrestrials, extreme advancements in computer and AI technology, climate changes, moral chaos, etc. Most Christians are at a loss when it comes to proper understandings of just where we stand in prophetic history.

Christians from numerous denominations and “non-denominations” have come to the truth by studying here and are sharing this message with fellow Christians. To be a member of the Ancient Antiochene Church of God all one has to be is baptized into the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and have a personal relationship with our Lord through his word (we accept Christians that have been baptized properly no matter their denomination). If you are already baptized by the water and the Word we welcome you. There are no fines, fees, or forms to be a true Christian.

Please “book mark” our site and study with us here every day. Thank you for taking time out to visit us.

*More about the Ancient Antiochene Church of God (AACG)

The book of Ezra talks about the time God’s people got to return to Jerusalem after their Babylonian captivity. This book helps explain how the Jewish religion kept God’s people together. No longer were they to have the magnificent kings and rulers. Their religious practices kept them strong. This shows that the remnant of the nation of Israel became more like a church than a nation.

Today, the Seventh Angel’s message is calling God’s Christian remnant out of denominationalism (out of the Laodicean condition) and into the “faith once delivered”, the true Ancient Antiochene Church of God. We ask all who study God’s word with us to not take anything lightly that you study here. This is “meat in due season”.

This ministry contains extremely important information for the entire Christian world. We are the Ancient Antiochene Church of God. We were first called "Christian" in ancient Antioch (Acts 11:26). We proclaim the counsel to the seven churches found in Revelation ch.2 & 3. Specifically we proclaim the final counsel for the Christian church which was given to the Seventh Angel. We are proclaiming the Seventh Epochal Revelation which is to be proclaimed right before the second coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ.
