3 Eras in the Circle of Time for Earth

He has made everything beautiful in its time. 

He has also set eternity in the human heart; 

yet no one can fathom what God has done 

from beginning to end.

Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, 

and his days be prolonged, 

yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before Him:
Ecclesiastes 3:11 NIV/8:12

"By the States of the Earth that are already past, we understand chiefly Paradise and the Deluge; Names well known, and as little known in their Nature. 

By the Future States we understand the Conflagration, and what new Order of Nature may follow upon that, till the whole Circle of Time and Providence be completed.

’Tis the Sacred writings of Scripture 

that are the best monuments of Antiquity, 

and to those we are chiefly beholden for the History of the first Ages, whether Natural History or Civil. ’" 

Thomas Burnett
