(Gods )Yahweh's (3) Three Step Plan Study Guide

God's 3-Step Plan for Redeeming Creation An In-Depth Study Guide based on Acts 15:14-17 and the Teachings of Pastor Shane Vaughn Introduction: The Forgotten Blueprint Modern Christianity often promotes a frantic rush to save the entire world, believing that 'today is the only day of salvation.' But buried beneath the noise of denominational assumptions lies a divine pattern-a redemptive sequence as ancient as the prophets and as clear as the Apostolic writings. In Acts 15, the early apostles laid out a three-step plan that Yahweh has ordained to redeem His creation. This study walks you through that plan step by step, showing your identity, your season, and your role in the harvest to come. Step One: 'To Take Out of the Nations a People for His Name' Acts 15:14 reveals that Yahweh's first move is to visit the nations-not to save them all, but to call out a remnant, a people for His Name. These are the lost tribes of Israel who have forgotten their identity. The 'Gentiles' here are not non-Israelites but Israelites living among the nations. Matthew 15:24 and Hosea 1:10 confirm this. They are the firstfruits. They are called now for training, not just salvation. They are the seed of the Kingdom. Step Two: 'I Will Return and Rebuild the Tabernacle of David' Once the first remnant is gathered, Yahshua returns to restore Judah-the fallen tabernacle of David (Acts 15:16, Amos 9:11-12). This tabernacle is not a temple, but the family of Judah. Hosea 6:2 speaks of their restoration after two prophetic days (2000 years). Romans 11 explains their blindness, and Zechariah 12:10 describes their national repentance when they see Yahshua. Step Three: 'That the Rest of Mankind May Seek After Yahweh' After the restoration of Israel and Judah, Yahweh turns to redeem the rest of mankind (Acts 15:17). This happens during the Millennial Reign, when the law goes forth from Zion (Isaiah 2:2-4), and all nations come to worship (Zechariah 14:16-19). Revelation 22:17 shows the Spirit and the Bride together issuing the call: 'Come.' Prophetic Timing: The 3 Days of Redemption Hosea 6:1-2 and 2 Peter 3:8 show a prophetic timeline: - Step 1: 5th-6th Day (2000 years): Gathering the lost tribes. - Step 2: Start of 7th Day (Millennium): Judah's restoration. - Step 3: Full 7th Day: Universal redemption. We are now at the end of Step 1. Your Role in the Kingdom You are not called to finish the harvest but to begin it. As a firstfruit, your role is to rule, teach, and prepare the Kingdom. Revelation 5:10 and 1 Peter 2:9 affirm your identity as royalty and priesthood. Yahweh isn't saving everyone today-He's gathering rulers for tomorrow. Study Questions 1.
