THE 7000 YEAR PLAN OF GOD

6 Days of Creation = 6000 Years; 7th Day Sabbath (Rest) = 1000 Years (Millennium).

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and
as a watch in the night.
Psalms 90:4
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the
Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day
. 2 Peter 3:8
For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in
them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath
day, and hallowed it
. Exodus 20:11

In Bereshith (Genesis) and Shemot (Exodus), we are told how God made all
things in six days, and on the Seventh Day (Shabbat-Sabbath) He ceased from His labour. Why did He do this? God set up the seven-day Divine Plan within which the Messianic Redemption would be fulfilled according to the promise made to the Patriarch Abraham:
In Abraham's "SEED" shall ALL the nations of the earth be Blessed. Genesis 22:18; Genesis 26:4

God foreknew precisely what He was going to accomplish before His Divine Plan of Redemption was commenced:
I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like Me,
DECLARING THE END FROM THE BEGINNING, and from ancient times the THINGS THAT ARE NOT YET DONE, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I WILL DO ALL MY PLEASURE: Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executes My counsel from a far country: yea, I HAVE SPOKEN IT, I WILL ALSO BRING IT TO PASS; I HAVE PURPOSED IT, I WILL ALSO DO IT.
Isaiah 46:8-11

Unto me, the most inferior of all saints, was this Grace given, that I should preach among the nations the unsearchable riches of the Messiah, and to enlighten all to the administration of THE MYSTERY WHICH HAS BEEN HIDDEN SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD BY GOD, who Created all things through Jesus Christ; according to THE DIVINE PLAN OF THE AGES which he purposed in Jesus, the Messiah, our Lord. Ephesians 3:8-11

God's Creation was to echo Redemption by defining a "day" as 1000 years.
From beginning to end, it was determined by God that mankind was to have only 6 "days" (6000 years) to live out his time on earth. On the Seventh Day, the "Day" of the Lord (Millennium), God Himself would intervene into human affairs and usher-in the Kingdom of God on the earth.

The amazing "twist of plot" comes when you apply the 1,000 to 1 rule to Paul and his blindness.
Paul was blinded for three days. Acts 9:9 That does fit with the three thousand years still to run at that time, in God's Plan for mankind.

SS, so you do stick to the Julian calendar? For you: today is Day 201. Have fun.

Gold was counted in talents and in shekels(and probably other units as well). Solomon received(by water) 420 talents, 450 talents, 120 talents, and an allowance of 666 talents. Add them up and you get the days of Noah.

I look at the lunar/metonic/hebrew calendar. I also look at cubits, fathoms, and furlongs. God has left clues in the conversions.

My day starts from lamb separation for 2nd passover in year 5,770.

My end of year comes 7x7 plus 50 after 2nd Passover (Iyyar 17 the day Noah went into the ark).

My comment

The Lord's timing has one factor that does not allow a man to count His time lapse

It is true that 6 millennia have passed and the 7th part is still pending

However, the extent of His dispensation of grace cannot be measured which is a part of the composite .... He has not revealed the length of this time lapse still on going

When He brings this factor to a close, the 7th will come .... no doubt

Many have and do attempt to determine the dating of His next intervention, but this cannot be done

... He has made this adventure an impossibility

He tells this truth [Matthew 24:44; Luke 12:40]

I have never said that I know the date of His next intervention, that will be the terrible Day of the Lords vengeance and wrath, the Sixth Seal worldwide disaster, a Day years before His Return.
Jesus' Return date will be known to all the Christians, all of the Lord's people still alive on earth*, as exactly 1260 days after the Anti-Christ desecrates the Temple.
* Only the dead martyrs souls are in heaven.

Well, I hate math so there are way too many numbers for my brain to cope with. I thought you were going to go in a different direction. God does like to work in 7's it seems.

Exo 23:10 And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:
Exo 23:11 But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard.
Exo 23:12 Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.


I thought you were going to tie it in with the above----6000 years, and the millennium---the earth rests for a 1000 years.

Jer 4:23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
Jer 4:24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
Jer 4:25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
Jer 4:26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.
Jer 4:27 For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.

Hebrews 3:4:1-11 (NIV, REB)
A Sabbath-Rest for the People of God:
1 What we must fear, therefore, is that since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it in unbelief.
2 For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as the ancient Israelites did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not share the faith of those who obeyed.
[the Gospel of the coming Kingdom of Jesus]
3 Now we who have believed can enter that rest, just as God has said,“So I declared on oath in my anger: ‘They shall never enter my rest.’” And yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world.
4 For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: “On the seventh day God rested from all his works.”
5 And again in the passage above he says, “They shall never enter my rest.”


6 Therefore since it still remains for some to enter that rest, and since those who formerly had the good news proclaimed to them did not go in because of their disobedience,
7 God again set a certain day, calling it “Today.” This he did when a long time later he spoke through David, as in the passage already quoted:“Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”

8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.
9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God;
[Every believer, from every race, nation and language]
10 for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his.
11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.

Jesus is our Sabbath rest! He said it plain as day in Matthew 11:28-30
28 “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”


This is why there REMAINS a rest to God's people. We don't carry the burden of the Law, as Christ fulfilled it for us!!!

If Jesus started his ministry on 29.5
29.5 represents the day of Pentecost: Acts 2 "When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place." Pentecost 50 days after Jesus said: "It is finished".

29 A jar of sour wine was sitting there. So they soaked a sponge in the wine, put it on a stalk of hyssop, and lifted it to His mouth. 30When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished.” And bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit.

Leviticus 14:4 Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive [and] clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

So, it is possible that we may be in the 5,986th year and that in 13 years we will pass the 6,000th year mark and nothing happen.
This is the day of Pentecost so something happened 2,000 years before. That was the beginning of the Church age. The second day will end and the third day will begin. "Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected." Luke 13:32 "they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." Rev 17:4

the date Jesus will return
The question has more to do with when did the Church begin. What was the exact date of the very first Pentecost when Peter was preaching in the upper room. You can say that the 2,000 year anniversary is not significant. Still God gives us: signs, seasons, days and years.

Gensis 1:14
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

Acts 2:19a I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below,

no one knows the 'day' or 'hour'
First of all when you look at Matthew Chapter 24 you can NOT just look at the answer, you have to look at question. In this case the disciples were asking TWO (2) questions and he answered BOTH questions at the same time. One question was WHEN would they tear down the Temple in Jerusalem. The SECOND question was WHEN is the end of the age. So you say "no one knows the day or the hour". You are wrong because we are not the people Jesus was talking to. The Government was going to tear down the physical temple in Jerusalem. Now what about the spiritual temple, the Church today. True, this is still a future event. The government has not destroyed the church yet. They tore down the Physical Temple in Jerusalem in 70 AD. The temple mount is still there, called the wailing wall. (A little side note is if you go back to Moses and the Solomon's temple there was a lot of symbolism in that temple.)

"The Second Temple was an important Jewish Holy Temple (Hebrew: בֵּית־הַמִּקְדָּשׁ הַשֵּׁנִי‎‎, Bet HaMikdash HaSheni; Arabic: بيت القدس‎‎: Beit al-Quds) which stood on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem during the Second Temple period, between 516 BCE and 70 CE. According to Jewish (and subsequently, Christian and Islamic) tradition, it replaced Solomon's Temple (the First Temple) which, according to the tradition, was destroyed by the Neo-Babylonian Empire in 586 BCE, when Jerusalem was conquered and a portion of the population of the Kingdom of Judah was taken into exile in Babylon." wiki

"Do you see all these things?" he asked. "Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down." Matthew 24:2

"As you come to Him, the living stone, rejected by men, but chosen and precious in God’s sight, you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood,offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 2:4,5

One third of the people are saved by only 10% or a remnant accept their priesthood.

Perhaps one stone left on another talks about the lack of unity and agreement in the Church today.
If you can not get two or three people to agree, then you have no power and you have no church.

"Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.Matthew 18:19 "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." Matthew 18:20

Even in Genesis when the people wanted to build a city and a tower God confused their language because when they were united then nothing would be impossible for them.

"The LORD said, "Behold, they are one people, and they all have the same language. And this is what they began to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them". Genesis 11:6

Contradiction?
The Bible is filled with paradoxes. Usually you have to look at the original language to figure it out. God says "come let us reason together."

"A paradox is a statement that, despite apparently sound reasoning from true premises, leads to a self-contradictory or a logically unacceptable conclusion. Some logical paradoxes are known to be invalid arguments but are still valuable in promoting critical thinking." wiki

Why can't it be this is this and that is that without all the Mumbo jumbo so we all can just come to the same conclusions? :)

Hi joshua,

Two things I would point out in the differences in our understanding of the things that God has revealed to us through His Scriptures. First, you apparently believe the government is going to work to destroy christianity. I don't. Second, you seem to see God's request to His people, Israel to 'come let us reason together' as some sort of paradox. I don't.

However, after reading the above post again, perhaps I have misunderstood what you were saying about reasoning together and paradoxes. You weren't actually saying that God's request to reason together with Israel as a paradox.

God bless you.
In Christ, Ted
