A COUNTDOWN CALENDAR
God provided two witnesses, Moses and Peter, to proclaim the kingdoms of man and the Messianic Kingdom to come. To correspond to the same pattern set in place at creation in Gen. 1:1-31 and Gen. 2:1-3.
"For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night." (Psalm 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)
“And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.” (Genesis 6:3)
A SABBATICAL CYCLE
A Sabbatical cycle is seven ‘weeks of seven’ totaling 49 years, the seventh year in each week is a Sabbatical week, in which no planting or sowing was done, (Exodus 23:11) it was a sabbath year of rest for the land. Another additional week was added to the seventh cycle, completing a 50-year Jubilee cycle.
Therefore 120 Jubilee cycles of 50 years equals the 6000 years of the days of man.
The word used in Genesis 6:3 for years is actually shaneh. The literal translation of that word is "a division of time" or "a repeating cycle".
Consequently, at the ‘fall’ it was established and proclaimed in Genesis 6:3, that there would be 6000 years of the days of man.
Therefore, please pay close attention, as God wants His people to know what time it is on His calendar as the countdown has commenced!
6000 YEARS FROM THE ‘FALL AND CALL’ TO ADAM
5993 years from the ‘fall’ of Adam and God’s call to him was recorded in a 1939 article in ‘Destiny’ magazine, click link http://www.jordanmaxwell.com/articles/brit...sh-israel-2.htm
The book of Daniel was ‘still sealed’ and Israel had not yet been declared a nation so at that time, 62 years into the future who could even speculate an additional ‘seven years and 10 days’ of the “days of man” would still be required to fulfill the cycle.
Tishri 1, year 8 to Elul 29, 6001 ended on 9-17-2001 completing 856 ‘weeks of seven or 5992 years plus 1 from the ‘fall and call’ to Adam (Genesis 3:9).
I believe September 18, 2001 marked the arrival of the final 857th ‘week of seven’ as marked off from Adams fall. 857 X 7 = 5999 years + 1 = 6000 years (1 BC to 1 CE add 1 year) it runs as follows:
THE LAST ‘WEEK OF SEVEN’ IN THE FINAL 49 YEAR ‘SABBATICAL CYCLE’ OF YEARS
Year 1 September 18, 2001 through September 6, 2002
Year 2 September 7, 2002 through September 26, 2003
Year 3 September 27, 2003 through September 15, 2004
Year 4 September 16, 2004 through October 3, 2005
Year 5 October 4, 2005 through September 22, 2006
Year 6 September 23, 2006 through September 12, 2007
Year 7 September 13, 2007 through September 29, 2008
THE 10 DAYS OF YEAR 8
Year 8 - September 30, 2008 Is the day I believe Yeshua returns with the Year of Jubilee beginning on October 9, 2008 on the Day of Atonement as the Millennium begins. The 'vision' of 2300 days is a second witness to this.
An understanding of the last ‘week of seven’, or seven-year Sabbatical week, is essential in grasping the urgency of the times we are living.
Where the confusion comes from and why questions are asked is because we are in the year 2007 and people think the calendars are wrong or the Bible isn’t true, because God’s word says ‘4000’ years to Yeshua and 2000 years to his return?
SEVEN YEARS IN PARADISE UNTIL THE FALL
The serpent came to Eve on Iyyar 17, 3993 BC, in the second month, in the eighth year after creation.
The Book of Jubilees in chapter 3:17 says:
“And after the completion of the seven years, which he (Satan) had completed there, seven years exactly, and in the second month, on the seventeenth day (of the month), the serpent came and approached the woman, and the serpent said to the woman, 'Hath God commanded you, saying, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?
The book of Jubilees, like the books of Jasher and Enoch referenced in scripture are historical documents of scriptural texts.
After Eve "saw" the subtle deceptive words of the serpent and fell for the lie, the Word tells us that they sewed "fig leaves" together. (Genesis 3:7) Therein lays the key to the time of season, as it would have been the end of summer, (Tishri) the "season of repentance" just prior to Tishri 10, 8.
Did the Lord "call" to Adam on Tishri 1, 8 or 3993 BC? (Gen. 3:9).
Then on Tishri 10, 8 or 3993 BC on Yom Kippur, did God pass sentences on the serpent and Adam and Eve (Genesis 3:14-18) and "cover" them with the sacrificed animal's skins? (Genesis 3:21) This being in the eighth year as Adam and Eve were given circumcised hearts and forgiven by God as He “covered them”?
6000 YEARS OF THE “DAYS OF MAN”
Nisan 1, 1 or 4000 BC to Adar 29, 3994 was 7 full years that Adam and Eve were set apart with God in Paradise, they then being tempted and covered during the first 6 months and 10 days of the ‘eighth’ year.
It is here on Tishri 10, 8 or 3993 BC the “6000 years of man” began. WE HAVE BEEN AND ARE FULFILLING that first ‘week of seven’ and 10 days, since September 18, 2001
These 6008 years of recorded history, SHORTENED by six months, (Mark 13:20) I believe end on Tishri 10, 6008 or October 9, 2008 and end this age.
The shortening of the days had to do with Israel using an ‘agricultural’ calendar while in Egypt 430 years, it began on Tishri 1 but once they got out of Egypt, God changed it, making Nisan 1, the first month, so in reality when this occurred, they lost six months. (Exodus 12:2)
Those SIX MONTHS WILL BECOME CRITICAL because if they had not been shortened, Yeshua said in Mark 13:20 “no flesh should be saved”! A very telling statement, do we really know how many nuclear bombs there are in the world, our Lord does and He shortened the days!
September 18, 2001 started the last sabbatical ‘week of sevens’ that ends on Elul 29, 6008 or September 29, 2008 with the return of Yeshua and God pouring out His wrath during the final 10 days leading up to Tishri 10 that ends this age and the days of man.
Tishri 10, 6008 or October 9, 2008 is the final separation of the sheep and the goats (Matthew 25:31-46) as judgment is sealed in the Millennium.
Note: 5993 years from the ‘fall’ and ‘call’ were completed on September 17, 2001 with 7 additional years and ten days, fulfilling the final 6000 years of the ‘time of man’ that end on 9 October 2008!
ANOTHER RECENT WITNESS IN JERUSALEM
As a 2nd witness, early in the year 2005, renowned Jewish Rabbi Kaduri predicted great tragedies in the world and just two weeks before the devastating tsunami in Southeast Asia, Rabbi Kaduri was quoted in the Yediot Acharonot newspaper as saying:
"We are now in the fourth year (that ended on 2 October 2005) of what could be the seven-year Redemption period, (that would end on September 30, 2008) according to the calculation of the Vilna Gaon. However in the coming three years, uncertainty about the future will hang over our heads, unless we work and strive that the Messiah be revealed”.
This was a fascinating statement, on August 15 that year the Gush Katiff expulsions began and on July 12, 2006, the war with Lebanon broke out, “uncertainty about their future” is now an understatement!
The 6000 years of man will be complete and Yeshua will "call". The trumpet blast of Rosh Hashanah symbolizes a gathering together of the “dead in Christ” and those who are still alive and there “rising with changed bodies” to meet Him in the air!
