The things which you have seen (THE PAST=Christ's Finished Work at His First Coming), The things which are (THE PRESENT AGE=The Church Occupying till Christ Comes), The things which must take place after (THE FUTURE AGE=Christ's Second Coming). For more see Bible Study Outline on the End Times Prophecy (ESCHATOLOGY)
