Unpacking the Age to Come

‍ ‍Steve Pogue

In Unpacking the Age to Come, Steve Pogue opens a prophetic door into understanding God’s original Kingdom plan and our place in it today. Drawing from Daniel’s sealed book and Jesus’ own words, this message reveals that we are living in a generation where hidden truths are being unveiled. Rather than chasing end-time charts or theories, Steve is inviting believers back to the simplicity of daily faithfulness and to the beginning—where Israel’s calling, the gospel of the Kingdom, and the partnership of Jew and Gentile converge.

 With fresh clarity, he explains how history has shifted, how the age of the Gentiles is nearing completion, and why the Spirit is now saying one clear thing: “Prepare the way of the Lord.”

This teaching is a first-fruits revelation for those ready to see, hear, and run with Heaven’s message in our time. 

• Just as John the Baptist came in the spirit of Elijah before Jesus’ first coming, Elijah has one final assignment before the Day of the Lord:
  Prepare the way of the Lord.

• The coming movement will straighten paths, raise valleys, and lower mountains—Isaiah 40 fulfilled again.

 Returning to the Beginning

• When Jesus proclaimed “Repent, the kingdom of God is at hand,” His hearers—first-century Jews—already understood the phrase.

• The gospel was first to the house of Israel; Israel was called a kingdom of priests to carry the kingdom message.

• Understanding the beginning is essential to discern the end.

Context and Interpretation

• Modern believers read Scripture through 2,000 years of Gentile tradition.

• The early church (first 100 years) was entirely Jewish in authorship, audience, and culture.

• Jesus did not launch a new religion—He fulfilled Messianic hope within Judaism.

• “Christianity” as a separate system emerged later, through political and theological separation (“the parting of ways”).

 Israel and the Gentiles

• The rejection of Jesus in Jerusalem (Matthew 23) triggered His statement:
  “You will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
  → His return awaits a remnant of Israel recognizing Him as Messiah.

• Luke 21 and Romans 11 explain the times of the Gentiles—a temporary period soon closing.

• Gentiles were grafted in, not to replace Israel but to join the original plan.

• “Do not boast,” Paul warned; the same God who grafted you in can remove you again.

 Restoration and Oneness

• “One new man” (Ephesians 2) does not mean all become Gentiles or all revert to Torah Judaism.

• It means unity in Messiah while honoring distinct callings—Jew and Gentile, male and female, one family.

• Messianic Jews living as Jews among Jews fulfill their original covenant in Christ.

• The original plan of salvation still stands; Gentiles participate in it, not in an alternate version.

 Historical Shift and Its Effect

• By the 2nd century, Gentile majority and Roman politics shifted the faith’s priorities.

• The Council of Nicaea (325 AD) finalized the separation from Jewish roots.

• This produced theological blind spots—especially about Israel’s ongoing role.

• Many later church traditions wrongly taught that God rejected Israel—a serious misunderstanding of His covenant faithfulness.

 Clarifying Eschatology

• “Inaugurated eschatology” = the already but not yet kingdom.

• Jesus inaugurated it at His first coming.

• Its consummation awaits His return.

• “Realized eschatology,” claiming everything is finished, misses this tension.

• Revelation 11 describes the moment the kingdom of this world becomes the kingdom of our Lord and His Christ—marking that consummation.

The Culmination of History

• All creation funnels toward one geographic point—Israel, specifically the Temple Mount.

• From that place, the King of Kings will reign on His throne.

• Every social and church issue will bow to this singular message:
  “Prepare the way of the Lord.”

 The Call to Partnership

• Believers are called to partner with Heaven, not merely await salvation.

• The age of Gentiles is closing; a final leg of the race begins—declaring the kingdom worldwide.

• The Holy Spirit will confirm this message with signs in heaven and earth.

• Many past teachings were partial; the Lord is giving more light for our generation.

 Key Takeaways

• Return to the Jewish roots of the gospel to perceive the full kingdom story.

• Understand we are still within God’s original redemption plan, not a substitute.

• Expect revelation, unity, and partnership as God prepares both Israel and the Church for Messiah’s reign.

• The message of this hour:
  👉 Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the LORD; Prepare ye the Way
