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

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and
as a watch in the night.
Ps 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 Pet 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. Exod 20:11

In Bere****h (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
(Gn22:18; Gn26:4).

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. Isa 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. Eph 3:8-9,11

God's Creation was to echo Redemption by defining a "day" as 1000 years (Ps
90:4; 2 Pet 3:8 quoted above). 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.

Our Father in the Heavens, Hallowed be Your Name. Let Your Kingdom come.
Let Your Will be done as in theHeavens, so also on the earth.
Matt 6:9-13


TESTIMONY OF THE EARLY SAINTS

Epistle of Barnabas 15:3-5 He speaks of the Sabbath at the beginning of
the Creation, "And God made in six days the works of His hands and on the
seventh day He made an end, and He rested on the seventh day, and He
sanctified it. Consider, my children what this signifies: That He made an
end in six days. The meaning of it is this: that in six thousand years the
Creator will bring all things to an end, for with Him one day is a thousand
years. He Himself testifies, saying, Behold the day of the Lord shall be as
a thousand years. Therefore children, in six days, that is in six thousand
years, all things shall be accomplished. And He rested on the seventh day:
He means this, that when His Son shall come He will destroy the season of
the wicked one, and will judge the godless, and will change the sun and the
moon and the stars, and then He will truly rest on the seventh day.

Secrets of Enoch 33:1 And I appointed the eighth day also, that the eighth
day should be the first created after My work, and that the first seven
revolve in the form of the seven thousand, and that at the beginning of the
eighth thousand there should be a time of not counting, endless, with
neither years nor months nor weeks nor days nor hours.

Elias (Eliyahu) 200 B.C. The world endures six thousand years; two
thousand before the Torah, two thousand under the Torah, and two thousand
under the Messiah.

Irenaeus 150 A.D. (was trained by Polycarp who was trained by John who
wrote the Book of Revelation. Quote is from "Against Heresies" Book 5, 28,
3: For in as many days as this world was made, in so many thousand years
shall it be concluded...This is an account of the things formerly created, as
also it is a prophecy of what is to come. For the day of the Lord is as a
thousand years; and in six days created things were completed; it is
evident therefore, that they will come to an end at the six thousandth
year.

Cyprian 250 A.D. (archchampion of orthodox Christianity against heresies)
"The Treatises Of Cyprian" Chapter 11: The first seven days in the Divine
arrangement contain seven thousand years.

Lactantius 300 A.D. (Tutor to the son of the Roman Emperor Constantine, was
a highly respected scholar. He wrote sometime before his death in 330 A.D.
the following in "The Divine Institutes" Book 7, Chapter 25: I have
already shown above that when 6000 years shall be completed this change
must take place. Chapter 26: But he (Satan) also, when the thousand years
of the Kingdom, that is, 7000 of the world, shall begin to be ended, will
be loosed afresh, and being sent forth from prison, will go forth and
assemble all the nations, which shall then be under the dominion of the
Righteous, that they may make war against the Holy City.

Methodius 300 A.D. (Banquet Of The Ten Virgins, Discourse 9, Chapter 1):
For in six days God made the heaven and earth, and finished the whole world
. . and blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, so by a figure in the
seventh month (Tishri ) when the fruits of the earth have been gathered in,
we are commanded to keep the Feast to the Lord, which signifies that, when
this world shall be terminated at the seven thousand years, when God shall
have completed the world, He shall rejoice in us. . . . Then, when the
appointed times shall have been accomplished, and God shall have ceased to
form this creation, in the seventh month, the Great Resurrection Day, it is
commanded that the Feast of our Tabernacles shall be celebrated to the
Lord.

Latimer 1552 A.D. The world was ordained to endure, as all learned men
affirm, 6000 years. Now of that number there be passed 5,552 years, so that
there is no more left but 448 years.

Rabbi Ketina: The world endures six thousand years and one thousand it
shall be laid waste, whereof it is said 'The Lord alone shall be exalted in
that day'. As out of seven years every seventh is a year of remission, that
God alone may be exalted in that day.

7000 years from the Creation to the Completion of Mankind:

Genesis 1:27 Adam was created in 3970.5 BCE [subtracted back from 586 BCE]

Gen 5:3 Seth +130, Gen 5:6 Enoch +105, Gen 5:9 Kenan +90, Gen 5:12 Mahalalel +70, Gen 5:15 Jared +65, Gen 5:18 Enoch +162, Gen 5:21 Methuselah +65, Gen 5:25 Lamech +187, Gen 5:28 Noah+182, Gen 6:7 The Flood came when Noah was +600, Gen 11:10 Our year 2314.5 BCE

Arpachshad +2 - born to Shem after the flood. Gen 11:12 Selah +35, Gen 11:14 Heber +30, Gen 11:16 Peleg +34, Gen 11:18 Reu +30, Gen 11:20 Serug +32, Gen 11:22 Nahor +30 , Gen 11:24 Terah +29, Gen 11:26 Abram +70, Abram was +52 when God called him and they left Ur. Our year 1970.5 BCE He lived in Haran for 23 years, then went to Canaan at age 75. Genesis 12:4

Total years so far = 2000

Gen 17:1, Abraham was 99 when the Covenant was made with God. +47 Genesis 17:1-8

Galatians 3:17 Paul states that the Law was given +430 after the Covenant. Total years elapsed until the Exodus – 2477, in our year 1493.5 BCE.
[Many ancient records say Comet Typhon passed close the earth at that time. It was the cause of many of the disasters in Egypt.]

1 Kings 6:1 The Temple construction starts, in the 4th year of King Solomon +480 since the Torah was given at the Exodus.. 1 Kings 11:42 Solomon 40 minus 4 = +36, 1 Kings 14:21 Rehoboam +17, 1 Kings 15:2 Abijah +3, 2 Chron 16:13 Asa +41, 1 Kings 22:42 Jehoshaphat +25, 2 Kings 8:17 Jehoram +8, 2 Kings 8:26 Ahaziah +1, 2 Kings 11:1-3 Athaliah +6, 2 Kings 12:1-3 Joash +40, 2 Kings 14:1-2 Amaziah +29, 2 Kings 15:1-2 Azariah +52, 2 Kings 15:32 Jotham +16, 2 Kings 16:1-2 Ahaz +16, 2 Kings 18:1-2 Hezekiah +29, 2 Kings 21:1 Manasseh +55, 2 Kings 21:19 Amon +2, 2 Kings 22:1-2 Josiah +31, 2 Kings 22:31 Jehoahaz +3mths, 2 Kings 23:31 Jehoiakim +11, 2 Kings 24:8 Jehoichin +3mths, 2 Kings 24:18 Zedekiah +11, who ruled until the Babylonian captivity in our year 586 BCE.

Total elapsed years to the first exile of Judah = 3386.5

586 BCE + 613.5 years + 2 comes to 29.5 CE, the date of Jesus’ baptism. Luke 3:1 Plus 2 to include the total number of elapsed years, as our calendar system counts years from their commencement.
3386.5 + 613.5 = 4000 years from Adam to Jesus.

January 2018 CE - 29.5 CE = 1988.5 years since the commencement of Jesus’ Ministry.

1988.5 + 4000 = 5988.5 years, is where we are now. 5988.5 + 11.5 = 6000 years

2018 CE + 11.5 = 2029.5 CE Exactly 2000 years to the end of the present Church age.

4000 since Abraham, 6000 since Adam. Next comes the 1000 year reign of Jesus.

7000 years is God’s decreed time for mankind.

Those who have been found worthy will go into Eternity with God. Revelation 22:1-5
