I had recently posted a tread concerning Hosea 6:2; see tread. I began with 2 Pet.3:8, One day with the Lord, as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. I applied this to Hosea 6:2?
Hosea 6:2, reads, AFTER two days (two thousand years) will He (God) REVIVE = (make alive) US (the Jews) in the third day he (God) will raise US up (Israel,) and we (those Jews raised and made alive) shall live in his (Gods) sight.
Josephus tells us that Jesus was born 4 B.C. So the question, When will the two days begin? Jesus became the Jewish High Priest after the order of Melchizedek at the age of 30, or 26 A.D. Heb.5: 6, Thou (Jesus) art a Priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
If we were to add 2 days, meaning 2000 years it would take us to the year 2026 A.D. Hosea writes, AFTER two days the time when the 2000 years will have ended and the 3ed day or 1000 year reign of Christ would begin in 2027 A.D.
The number 666 has many lines of thought concerning its meaning and application. But I took a new approach to the subject. I feel there may be several aspects to this number, one being it represents
1. a real mark on the body, and/or
2. a mark of agreement a person takes concerning the teaching of the second beast, in this they receive his mark on both their body in their heart.
But what if 666 ALSO represents 3 periods of time, one period for each 6, and each period representing 666 years?
Now dont shake your head NO before you hear me out. Remember, this article is to stimulate new thought on the subject. Of course closed minded people need not participate in the discussion.
Now lets divide 2000 years into 3 periods (the three 6es) and begin the count at 29 A.D. when the Lord was cut off at the cross.
2000 divided by 3 = 666.666 years.
Jesus was cut of 3 ½ years into his earthly ministry. That would take us to the end of October or November of 29 A.D. Lets take the 2000 years Hosea spoke of, it beginning in 26 A.D. and ending in 2026 A.D. AFTER two days have ended in 2026 A.D. the count begins.
29 A.D. + 666 takes us to 695 A.D.
695 A.D. + 666 takes us to 1361 A.D.
1361 + 666 brings us to the beginning of the 3ed day, or 2027 A.D. Which would agree with Hoseas 2 days.
I have several ideas what the three periods of 666 would represent; I will post them on another tread when I finish.
