Therefore know that the Lord your God, He
is God, the faithful God who keeps
covenant and mercy
for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments (Deu 7:9)
14He
is the Lord our God;
His judgments
are in all the earth.
15Remember
His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations,
16The covenant which He made with Abraham,
And His oath to Isaac,
17And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,
To Israel
for an everlasting covenant, (1 Chr 16:14-17)
7He
is the Lord our God;
His judgments
are in all the earth.
8He remembers
His covenant forever,
The word
which He commanded,
for a thousand generations,
9The covenant which He made with Abraham,
And His oath to Isaac, (Psa 105:7-9)
From Abraham to David are 14 generations. From David to the carrying away to Babylon are 14 generations. From carrying away into Babylon to Christ are 14 generations. That’s 42 of the thousand generations since the covenant made with Abraham to Christ first appearance.
How many generations have passed since Christ first appearing?
The covenant made with Abraham will last until Christ reign over his kingdom for a thousand years has ended. But those generations will be shorter because it’s said:
19 I will rejoice in Jerusalem,
And joy in My people;
The voice of weeping shall no longer be heard in her,
Nor the voice of crying.
20“No more shall an infant from there
live but a few days,
Nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days;
For the child shall die one hundred years old,
But the sinner
being one hundred years old shall be accursed.( Isa 65:29-20)
42 generations from Christ first appearing to now are how many generations?
How many generations are counted in his thousand year reign til the end?
if there are to be fewer generations during Christ reign, then the thousand years of his reign would be different and shorter then the generations from Christ til now.
