Man Cannot Produce Utopia
By Grant Phillips
The next big event on God’s calendar is the Rapture, and then the seven year Tribulation followed by the one thousand year Millennium when Jesus will rule the earth as King of kings and Lord of lords.
God has dealt with man via six different dispensations (so far), and in each one, man fails. Over and over it is proven that the natural man cannot please God. The seventh and last dispensation is the Millennium, and once again, man will fail to live in a manner pleasing to God. Only in eternity, will mankind (those who have inherited eternal life through Jesus Christ) and the angels never again have the desire or ability to disobey God.
The seven dispensations are:
- The Age of Innocence: from Creation to the Fall
- The Age of Conscience: from the Fall to the Flood
- The Age of Human Government: from the Flood to Abraham
- The Age of Promise: from Abraham to Moses
- The Age of the Law: from Moses to Jesus
- The Age of Grace: from Pentecost to the Rapture and
- The Age of the Kingdom: the 1,000 year Millennium following the Tribulation
The Age of Innocence – Man is created without ever knowing sin, but then falls to its temptation in rebellion against God.
The Age of Conscience – Man lives by his own conscience of right and wrong, and fails miserably in his rebellion against God.
The Age of Human Government – As mankind forms into groups and human governments are formed, man quickly reverts back into sin, continuing to rebel against God.
The Age of Promise – Even though God always keeps His promises, man cannot, and does not have the patience to wait on God. His rebellion against God continues.
The Age of the Law – Even with clear and strict guidelines, man corrupts the Law of God by disobedience in rebellion.
The Age of Grace – Even in the most coveted dispensation prior to the Kingdom age, man as a whole refuses the riches of God’s grace. The grace of the cross is spurned for the works of man.
The Age of the Kingdom – The Kingdom age will originally be comprised of all those who know God as Savior and Lord through Jesus Christ. All will be without sin and the ability to sin because of the saving grace of God. What could go wrong? Will mankind still rebel against God?
We all know that when the Tribulation ends Satan will be bound for a thousand years (Revelation 20:1-3). So throughout the Millennium, Satan and none of his followers will be around to seduce mankind. Jesus will reign from Jerusalem. The Church will reign with Him, and the surviving saints from the Tribulation will repopulate the earth.
So, at the beginning of the Millennium everyone will be a child of God. The earth will be restored. Nature will be at peace. Prosperity will abound. The life expectancy will be extended to a thousand years. Everything will be perfect.
Have you ever considered just how long a thousand years is? A lot can happen in a thousand years. Think about this. As of this year, America is 241 years old. That’s not even a quarter of 1,000 years. If you go on back to when Columbus headed our way, it’s still only 525 years.
I was born when Harry S. Truman was President. Since then we have had twelve more Presidents. I can assure you, a LOT has happened over that short period. Many, many things have drastically changed over that very short period of time.
Remember, when the Millennium begins everyone is saved at that point. Everyone belongs to the Lord and He rules the earth. But … the Tribulation saints who were not murdered will enter the Millennium and bare children. Those children, and all those born after them will have the ability to sin because they will be born with that sin nature we all have today.
A population explosion will inhabit the millennial period. Billions will be born from those original Tribulation saints that will have the same choice mankind has today; honor God or rebel.
When the Millennium ends Satan will be released and lead billions against Jesus and His rule (Revelation 20:7-8). How did it ever get to the point that Satan could find that many followers in a world that is perfect?
Even though Satan is bound and cannot deceive anyone during that time, those billions born in the Millennium will have the ability to follow Jesus or reject Him. They will all be born with the same nature that is currently within us.
It is my opinion that even though the Kingdom age (the Millennium) will have so many blessings, rebellion will begin to rise in the hearts of those born into the Millennium. The Scripture says in Revelation 12:5, “And she bore a son, a male, who is going to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her child was caught up to God and to His throne.” This male son is none other than Jesus Christ, and He will rule during that time, “with a rod of iron.”
There will not be an outward uprising until the end of the Kingdom age (the Millennium), but rebellion will rise and continue to rise in the hearts of many. By the time Satan is once again unleashed, they will be revealed for what they really are.
If you’ll think about it, God has allowed all of us to have freedom of choice, even the angels. Satan made his choice. The angels that followed him made their choice, and one third of the angels followed Satan. Adam and Eve made their choice, and every individual throughout each dispensation has made or will make a choice either to obey God or not to obey Him.
Since sin entered the world through our original parents, Adam and Eve, mankind has been in rebellion. Some have decided to call upon God, but most do not. God clearly demonstrates that no matter how He deals with us, as long as we have a sinful nature, there will be those who will always rebel against Him.
Today’s society practically wears out the phrase, “God is love.” Yes He is, and He is no less “just” than He is “love.” We tend to forget that God cannot deny His justice any more than He can deny His love. We want His love in letting us “do our own thing,” but not His justice in judging the sin(s) we wallow in.
He has proven through six dispensations that we cannot save ourselves, and the seventh and last dispensation will corroborate the others. Only He can save us, and He can only do so through our belief in His Son, Jesus.
Mankind began in a perfect world (Garden of Eden) and we failed. Mankind will close out the ages in a perfect world (Millennium) and we will fail again. Sin and its consequences must be judged and totally eradicated, and the world must be filled with the righteousness of God before there can ever be peace between mankind and his Creator God. This can only be accomplished by the grace of God in the sacrifice of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. All those who come to God through the Son will be saved (rescued) from judgment and adopted into the family of a Holy God. Only those who come through Jesus will live with Him for eternity in absolute righteousness, never knowing sin again. All those in Christ know God not just as our Creator, but also as our Father, because our faith rests in the saving work of Jesus Christ.
In each age, man attempts to produce the perfect world, as he sees utopia in his own mind. Thankfully, God has seen fit to save us from our own delusions.
So to recap:
- Innocence cannot save.
- Conscience cannot save.
- Government cannot save.
- Promises (ours) cannot save.
- The Law (or law) cannot save.
- Grace (if rejected) cannot save.
- A perfect world cannot save.
Each dispensation proves that no one can be saved apart from the cross. The cross is offered each time, but only the few choose wisely. Most try an alternate route, but only those who come via the cross go into eternity as children of the eternal God to reign with Him forevermore. All those who reject the cross will spend eternity in the lake of fire and brimstone.

Great article. Praise the Lord for He is coming soon. The time to get right with God is NOW.
jango i have requested this before — to no avail — but what does the term — “get right with God” — mean?
Just how does one go about “getting right???? exactly
either you have no clue yourself — are just repeating a trite phrase — or you know what you say can be shredded.
actually it could be all 3.
http://www.amnesiaphotography.com – …the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
Yeah we can, first we have to get rid of the roughly 4,200 religions in the world that all fight over the fact that they think their religion is right.
Once that is done, we’ll be a lot closer to utopia.
Then we need to simply remove people that kill, rape, or harm others from our gene pool. Stop trying to reform people with broken brains, because it doesn’t work, and you risk them passing their broken genes on to future generations.
Then people can’t fight over dumb fairy tales that don’t matter, and we’ll be left only with people that have rational thought processes, that can then see humans would be happier in a happy world.
David Brin had hit the nail on its head with P testing.
-And I Heard in my hearing a cry in my ear, just as my eyes open, 07/31/2017 “Are You Readyyy, Ready For The Big Ride Babyyyy!, (It’s Nicholas Cage’s character, Castor Troy, The Movie face Off. Certainly this parody right now of what’s truly going on between Trump and Jong Un, prophetically of America being warn on having a nuclear fate, whose Trump, like the Bride, is a Truexit and Jong Un’s out break of Missiles tests, taunting relentlessly US soil, beware, be very aware.
-And I Heard My Hearing, 07/31/2017, the song, the lyrics, sounding continuously, “no winter cold can stop me babe,” (these lyrics are of the song, ‘Aint’s No Mountain High Enough,’ to keep from getting to you, apparently it’s blessed assurance, those awaiting a spring rapture, that the God who promised is faithful and trustworthy, stop will prevent Him, nothing!,
No Winter’s Cold Can Stop Me From Getting To You, Jesus Is Here!

-Though I, Apostle, since the late eighties have pretended a prophetic parable regarding God lending redeemed mankind a twenty year extension of grace. One recreated an Eden paradise and by an African born male have evacuated the world refugees into a New African Utopia on earth, fashion mainly for young Genesis marriage worshipers. Safeguarded by divine reapers, disallowing any manner of sin, whose very evacuations into the African Juttah, began by Mega ships, the Aqua Juttah unknowingly this work, sixteen years in, 1996, by the Mayan Calendar 2012. That’s right into a present day Juttah Septennial which is both an escape from this planet, (I Thess. 4:16-18, the rapture) and an exodus from all of western civilization right now, as in right now, (Revelation 18, crying aloud, come out of her my people!). Monster disasters like North Korea threatening and a Yellowstone Revelation, 6th seal style eruption and more all coming.
-Still as you say here, the closet mankind have or will ever come to paradise on earth which has lead, as forewarn Christ Cross, of the stumbling block of iniquity. that would be money, power and celebrity. Just this borrowed, temporal thing into their eternal damnation, all of which ls right now ticking and dwindling down into this activation of one cataclysm after another of the American Dream, the emphasis being on, dream. Unmistakably, this vanity King Solomon called it, this reaching for the wind now readying to claim tens of millions refusing to get themselves instead into to God’s Trump, who alone is Jesus. That’s as to get from America’s Trump, which in the beginning has mercifully been a disguised, complete lapse in time, into first a Brexit and now a Truexit, crying peace and safety when sudden destruction is come and come, and come, escape now, as in right now!

2Thess 2:10..because they received not THE LOVE (Agape)of the truth, that they might be saved. 11. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
123’s of true Christianity v popular & damnable heresies
#1 “ONE” not triune: ……PART 4 & 5 HOW MANY GODS ARE THERE FOR THE ONE GOD TO TALK TO?? Who was Jesus praying to??!?…. The real question should be … How does having multiple different persons keep this one God/being/entity from praying to himself?! (The trinitarian “schizophrenic” “god-head”) The Trinitarians want to have their cake and eat it too as the saying goes. On the one hand they need to say they only worship one indivisible God being/ entity but on the other hand they feel the need for some reason to keep Jesus or God from praying and talking to himself by dividing him up into different persons!?! It never occurs to them that that since there is only one indivisible God to pray too and Jesus is that indivisible God come in the flesh that he would need to talk to himself as to show us how to live, suffer, pray and die for our/ flesh) benefit not his!?!….. So while Trinitarians are quick to complain that God was not talking to himself at Christ baptism or in Gen “let us” they ignore the logical demands of their own theology! If Jesus is the ONE GOD in flesh and the Father is the SAME ONE GOD in heaven then Trinitarianism demands THE ONE GOD is talking to HIMSELF the same “being”! Claiming that God is multiple different persons as the reason for why God is not talking to himself (because God is three different “selfs”) only demonstrates that what they really worship is in fact not a ONE GOD who talks to himself but three different god “selfs”/ and they all talk to each other! When they speak about who God was talking and praying to, they are quick to say “the other person, NOT HIMSELF!” But if you ask them how many gods do they pray to then they will say “ONLY ONE”!?! They expect you to believe that those three different persons are THE ONE GOD-BEING” which is like calling three different cars “THE ONE VEHICLE” (they are text book examples of prov 26:12)
Mark 12:28…Which is the first commandment of all? 29. …Hear, O Israel; THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD: 30. And ………..this is the first commandment….. 31. And the second is….. IF YOU CAN’T GET THIS “FIRST OF ALL COMMANDMENTS” RIGHT, ALL THE REST OF YOUR “FAITH” AND PREACHING ON LOVE & SIN IS MOOT
PART 6: THE ANTI CHRIST….WHERE? WHERE?….EVERYWHERE!!! …..IT”S YOU O TRINITARIAN!
“WHO” it was (what person) that came “IN THE FLESH”, IS THE DETERMINING FACTOR IN WHAT IT MEANS TO BE “ANT-CHRIST”! Even Islam claims Jesus was the Jewish messiah/Christ who was to come in the flesh) they all deny “WHO” it was (what person) that came (to be the Christ) in the flesh!?!…….To deny the father is to deny the son because they are one and the same person that came in the flesh!
JOHN 14: 8-20 ….Note Isaiah 9:6. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: …: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, … the everlasting Father ….The son, father/Holy Spirit are all the same person, NOT like two different persons working together even as “one flesh” ….The “oneness” between Christ and the father is not comparable to a man & his wife, for only a fool would say “When you have seen me you have seen my wife, how sayest thou then, Shew us your wife?” Notice they asked to see THE FATHER and the response was Jn 14:9 ..“HAVE I BEEN SO LONG time with you, and yet hast THOU NOT KNOW ME, Philip…..Now image some fool trying to claim that statement if you asked to see his wife!?!!? You want to see the FATHER but have I been with you but you don’t know me!?!?!
Jn 14 continued….…………..17. Even THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH; (Jn 14:6 I AM the way, THE TRUTH,) whom the world cannot receive, .. for HE DEWLLETH WITH YOU, (present tense/standing next to them in the flesh) and SHALL BE IN YOU… (future tense “In them”) 18. I will not leave you comfortless: I WILL COME TO YOU (future tense “In them”) Note: The spirit of Christ is the sprit of God and the holy spirit that is why Christ said “I will come to you” (to comfort them, because Christ is the comforter). The spirit was standing next to them in flesh… ….latter it would come to them to be inside of them (inside of their flesh as the spirit we are given)…..that is why. he would send the spirit…… However, Jesus himself here makes the point that the same person who was the HOLY SPIRIT that would come was standing next to them but lets them know “I will come to you again to be Inside of you”
The whole point to Gal 3:20.a mediator is NOT A MEDIATOR OF ONE, (HEIS) but GOD IS ONE. (HEIS) again, point blank, identifies the number of persons of God! The “but” points out the contrast between multiple persons in a mediation party v the “one” of God. God is not like a mediation party with multiple different persons. …..”the express image of his person” ( the person of God; singular not plural).Any attempt to lay claim otherwise is willful ignorance and delusional nonsense
TRINITARIANS CONFESS JESUS /THEY ARE NOT POLYTHEIST BUT ARE MONOTHEIST LIKE A LIAR & THIEF WHO “CONFESS” THEY DO NOT LIE OR STEAL The simple fact is that just because you confess or deny that you are in an adulterous relationship and denounce all forms of adultery has nothing to do with whether or not it is in fact adulterous! .. …A rose by any other name is still just a rose AND calling it a water lily does not change the definition of what a water Lilly or a rose is either!…No, Trinitarians confess & preach literally …”ANOTHER JESUS” 2 Cor 11:4
- Like a thief in your house caught stealing your things insisting he was not there stealing “I CONFESS I am NOT stealing”. You just do not “properly understand” what he is doing/saying. Further, since you never had a “proper understanding” of what he is doing/saying you have no business accusing him since you do not even know what you are talking about in the first place. It is with and in your own ignorance that you base your “false accusations” & “ad homonym attacks” against him…… Ridiculous of course it is ……2Thess 2:11; Titus 1:16; 2Tim 3:5;
…… should have given you a hint, harking back to Satan in The garden…God said you will die…Satan comes along and states no you will be more WISE……today .God said He is one; but Satan’s children come along and say no three is more WISE and humble in the face of God’s grandeur only “a mystery” that can be understood “in faith”. God uses head and right arm to explain the distinctions between father and son.. However, the Trinitarian heretics say to the effect: “NO, that is just a figure of speech, or that is not what God really means. What God is really saying is that God is three different persons”. Fools, hypocrites and blind guides, God said he was One and by your traditions and vain imaginations have taken the words of God and made them of no effect, refashioning God into your image!

#2 SECOND COMING Thou Fool! “I come quickly” so “Hold fast
till i come”… NOT …“in another 2000 yrs I might be coming soon any time now, so hold fast”!?! …those that deny the second coming of Christ in the war of AD70 are practicing a damnable heresy in denying the lord that bought them ( 2Peter 2:1-2 ;2Tim 4:8/ you cant love an appearing you deny& the context is the 2nd coming not the first)… Mat 7:23..”I NEVER KNEW YOU” …..Mat 10:33. But whosoever shall deny me before men……..sound familiar?…. If I said I am coming to your house in this generation when these things happen but no one knows the day or hour what fool would think I might be coming in 2000 years latter!?!? ..2 Tim 4: 4. And
they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be TURNED UNTO FABLES.
2Thess 2: 11. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12. That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

#3 There is a sharp contrast between THREE groups :
(1) “PREDESTINED DAMNED” who were NEVER written in the book of life ………..Rev 17: 8 WHOSE NAMES WERE NOT WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, …as contrasted …EPH 1: 4. According as he hath CHOSEN US in him BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD
(2) “MANY CALLED”= ONLY and ALL SAINTS (those who come to Christ) are written in the book of life … Philippians 4:3… ……Rev 21:27; (Only saints are Called and elect; Rom 1:6-7 et al) This is THE CHRUCH and ONLY these can have their names blotted out of the book of life ….….Heb 12:23 to the general assembly and CHURCH of the firstborn … WHICH ………are WRITTEN in heaven,
(3) THE FEW CHOSEN: Those saints who were alive in group #2 who are now physically dead. They died “faithful” these are the FEW that were chosen faithful…….Rev 3:5. ……; and I
will not BLOT OUT HIS NAME OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE, (Ps 69:28) …. These are the FEW that are CHOSEN and now that they have died and are saved then “once saved THEY CAN NEVER BE LOST”

even if you remove the religion part out of uopia, different people have different ideas how a utopia should look like.
and if GOD can’t make a perfect utopia, then that is another failure for the infallible GOD.
I hope we get a bit more than rainbows this time
