MATTHEW 10:5-7
These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go
not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the
Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the
house of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of
heaven is at hand. |
As you can see, the LORD has
allotted a specified period of time for the Gentiles to accept
Jesus as their Savior which began at His Resurrection and the
start of the
NEW COVENANT
and continues until the End Times. At that time,
they will have the opportunity once again to accept Jesus as their
LORD. Of course, if you read
ROMANS, Chapter 11
... You’ll find that one of
God’s chosen people of Israel CAN be saved during the TIME OF THE
GENTILES as well.

ROMANS 11:23
And they also, if they abide not
still in unbelief,
shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. |
Since the
Time of the Gentiles ...
Began after the Resurrection of Jesus.
If we look up at
our calendar, we see that Abraham who was called by God to become the
father of God's chosen people, was born around 2000 AA. If God's chosen
people began with Abraham and the promise continued from about 2000 AA
until 4000 AA which is 2000 years then that would suggest that 2000
years would be given as the Time of the Gentiles as well.
America
has a calendar based on 365 days. They call it A.D. (in
the year of our Lord) which contrary to popular
belief ... A.D. does not stand for "After
Death" but instead stands for "anno
Domini" which means "Year Dominion" ...
According to the American calendar, Jesus was born at year "0"
and was crucified and resurrected in 33 AD
Since it has been
4033 years from Adam to Jesus' Resurrection, we need only determine how
much time has passed from 33 AD to present day as to find out how many
years it has been from Adam to present day.
Let us take the
year 2007
From 33 AD to the
year 2007 AD is 1974 years.
So let's add the
4033 years to the 1974 years and we get ...
6007 years
WOW ... Talk about
exciting !!!
Hmmmmmm, that is a
few years too many though.
PROBLEMS
The Jewish Calendar
which is what God based His prophecies on, is different than other
Calendars. It has been changed many times as well as you can see at this
online encyclopedia.
There is another minor problem ... The calendar has been changed
MANY times, over the last two thousand years, by different entities and
nations that came into power, which makes it difficult to determine
exactly how many days have passed to find out the exact day, which was
probably God's plan since He said we would not know what day it would
be.

There have been so
many changes
that it would be impossible to track down the exact date.
It is VERY strange though that it is approximately
6000 years from Adam to present day.
Could it be that the changes in the calendars ARE the reason that we
came up with 6007 years?
As we recall ...
It is written that one day to God is as a
thousand years to mankind. In the book of Genesis, it says that God
worked six days and rested on the seventh. The seventh day in this
case would be the thousand years known as the Millennium and be the time
of rest.
