Hello,
Perhaps what is needed in this thread is a timeline for events that have and will occur from the time of the birth of Isaac, up and until the final judgement in Revelation, 20.
The birth of Isaac was God's confirmation of the Covenant that God had entered into Abraham and his descendants.
In the Abrahamic Covenant we are told that Abraham descendants will be scattered to the four corners of the earth and that at the end of the seventh age that the Remanent of Israel will be gathered once more.
In the Abrahamic Covenant we are told that Abraham's descendants will be given dominion over a prescribed area of land for a fixed period of time, to confirm that in the promised inheritance of the whole earth in the distant future from that time is true.
One hundred and seventy years after the birth of Isaac, Jacob take his family, the nation of Israel, down to Egypt for a period of 430 years after which God brings them out with the intent of taking Israel up to the Land known as the Promised Land, but because the Generation at that time of Israelites rebelled against God, God had Israel going around in circles for around 40 years.
After the death of Moses, God had Joshua, a tenth generations Israelite born in Egypt, to lead Israel into the Promised Land. Joshua lead the nation of Israel for around 30 years. His leadership began when he was 80 years old and ended with his death when he was 110 years old.
When the generation that had entered the Promised Land, had died, the people in the land, probably around 12 years after Joshua had died, did what was evil in the sight of God and we have the stories of three parallel rebellions within the tribes of Israel over a period of time that stretched over 220 or so years before Eli and then Samuel both judged Israel, each for a period of 40 years, before the people demanded to have a king over them and so Saul was anointed to be the king over all of the 12 tribes of Israel.
King David was born around 1,000 plus years after the birth of Israel.
480 years after God brought Israel out of Egypt, King Solomon laid the foundation stone for the Temple in Jerusalem, in the fourth year of his reign, that King David had want to build for God but God did not allow David to build the Temple in Jerusalem but gave that task to his son, Solomon. Around 18 year later, The Temple was dedicated and God's presence filled the temple, a significant time post for the Ezekiel, 47:1-12 prophecy.
The northern kingdom, Israel, the Assyrian Army came and took them into exile and they became scattered throughout the earth.
Because the nation of Israel did not keep God's commandments and did not allow the land to lie fallow every seven years, God took the Nation of Judah into exile in Babylon for 70 years.
While in Babylon, Daniel writes about what is to befall Israel and the rest of the world.
He introduces us to the demonic fallen Angels who are the "beasts" that causes their individual dominate characteristic to be come manifested within people groups and nations and empires. These four demonic fallen beastly angels have had influence over many people groups, nations and empires over time as the people ebbed and flowed in and out of the beasts respective influences and are still exercising this influence today.
Daniel indicates when the third beast manifests itself within the divided Grecian Empire after the death of Alexandra the Great, and in doing so also introduces us to another wicked fallen heavenly host called the Little Horn who is to trample God Sanctuary and He earthly hosts, Israel for a period of 2,300 years. Paul tells us in Romans, that at the completion of this 2,300 year prophesied time period of the Gentiles (trampling God’s Sanctuary and Earthly Hosts), that all of Israel will be saved.
The beginning of this prophecy started with the creation of the LXX at the request of the Grecian Empire centred in Alexandra, in Egypt around 250 BC. A somewhat innocent request, but one which began the trampling of both the Sanctuary of God and His earthly Hosts.
