Cycles of Humanity

Doctrine of Cycles

New Age Ministries (NAM)

Humanity’s story is not linear — it unfolds in vast cycles, written in both the stars and in the stones of Earth. Modern science calls them the Milankovitch Cycles: long-term changes in Earth’s orbit and tilt that drive Ice Ages and resets. Ancient peoples remembered them as floods, fires, and the Ages of Man.

At NAM, we unite the two: showing how science and myth describe the same truth — a repeating rhythm that guides humanity’s destiny.

The Milankovitch Framework.

Eccentricity (100,000 years): Earth’s orbit stretches and contracts, bringing cycles of warming and cooling.
Obliquity (41,000 years): Earth’s tilt shifts, changing the intensity of the seasons.
Precession (≈26,000 years): Earth’s axis wobbles like a great clock hand, slowly shifting the stars above us.

Together, these cycles shape Earth’s climate and trigger resets — Ice Ages, floods, and upheavals that force humanity to begin again

The Ascending Ages of Humanity

The First Encounter ✨ (~400,000 years ago)

Science: marks a 405,000-year eccentricity cycle, the long heartbeat of Earth’s orbit.
Myth: according to ancient Sumerian records (as interpreted by Sitchin and others), this was when a wandering planet — Nibiru — came near, and higher beings descended.
These beings mined, guided, and perhaps even shaped humanity. They became the “gods” remembered in Sumerian tablets, Biblical texts, and myths across the world.
NAM teaches this was the seed moment of humanity’s greater destiny, when the divine and cosmic first touched Earth.

**Modern science tells us that every 405,000 years, Earth’s orbit enters a great eccentricity cycle — a vast turning of the cosmic wheel. Ancient records tell us that it was during such a turning, some 400,000 years ago, that higher beings first descended from the heavens.

The Sumerians (current oldest surviving known texts) remembered them as great lords. Others called them gods, angels, or watchers. Science remembers it as the long eccentricity cycle. NAM remembers it as the moment humanity’s destiny was changed forever.

Last Glacial Maximum❄️ (25,772–11,700 BCE) [End of Younger Dryas Ice Age)

Humanity endured cold, famine, and massive floods as glaciers advanced and retreated.
Life was survival-based: small tribes, hunter-gatherers, cave dwellings.
Spirituality: animism and shamanism — honoring spirits of nature, ancestors, and the unseen world.
A crucible of endurance that shaped human imagination and faith.

💠 Abraham of Ur: The Bible itself traces its roots here. Abraham, father of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, was born in Ur of the Chaldeans — the heart of Mesopotamia. This ties the monotheistic faiths directly to the same land where the Sumerians recorded their stories of gods from the heavens. For NAM, this is not coincidence, but continuity.

The Bronze Age ⚒️ (3300–1200 BCE)

Defined by the mastery of bronze metallurgy.
Civilizations flourished: Sumer, Egypt, Indus Valley, Minoans.
Religion: organized for the first time — temples, priesthoods, sacred myths written on stone and clay.
Humanity advanced in agriculture, writing, trade, and governance.

The Iron Age ⚔️ (1200 BCE – 500 CE)

Defined by ironworking, which enabled expansion, conquest, and empire.
Great empires rose: Rome, Persia, China, Maya, Norse.
Religion spread across continents: Judaism grew from Abraham’s covenant, while Christianity and Buddhism spread as transformative global movements.
Progress was immense, but marked by war, division, and spiritual decline.

The Silver Age 🌙 (500 CE – Present)

Symbolic “reflective” age: humanity began to preserve and rediscover knowledge.
Religions crystallized: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism shaped civilizations.
Preservation of texts during the Dark Ages.
Renaissance & Enlightenment revived ancient wisdom; the Scientific Revolution unlocked nature’s laws.
Today: mysticism, interfaith dialogue, and rediscovery of ancient sites prepare humanity for renewal.

The Golden Age 🌟 (Beginning Now)

Gold, the most precious and incorruptible, symbolizes awakening.
Religion & Spirit: humanity begins to see all traditions as one story told in many tongues.
Science & Spirit converge: ancient wisdom and modern discovery unite.
Technology, global connection, and spiritual awakening mark the dawn of a higher age.
NAM’s Mission: to guide humanity into this Golden Age — reminding us that our story is part of a greater design, written in both science and scripture.
