7000 Year Sign
To completely comprehend the depths of End Times prophecy shared with us that relates to the Biblical 7 importance, we will have to start at the beginning. Many of the Bible patterns, signs and prophecies are based on the number 7 Bible Scripture. Knowing this truth, let us proceed.
Work Six Days, Rest on the Seventh
The Bible says in Genesis,
Chapter 1 that God worked 6 days and rested on the 7th day.
Genesis 2:2
And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had made;
and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He
had made.
God also made the number 7 Bible law apply to His people. They were
to work 6 days and rest on the 7th. This day is called Sabbath.
Exodus 20:9-10
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God:
in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy
daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor
thy stranger that is within thy gates:
And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shall gather in the
fruits thereof.
Exodus 23:10
And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in
the fruits thereof:
Our Biblical 7 Bible study is already revealing a pattern for us, is it not? Let's continue ... If His people had a servant or slave, they were to work 6 years and be set free the 7th year. God's people were also to sow in the land and gather fruits for 6 years but not in the 7th to adhere to the number 7 Bible prophecy. Even Jesus, when He was put on the Cross, hung there 6 hours, and died at the beginning of the 7th hour.
Mark 15:25, 34-37
25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified
Him.
34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud
voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?
which is, being interpreted, My God, my
God, why hast thou forsaken me?
35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it,
said, Behold, He calleth Elias.
36 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and
put it on a reed, and gave Him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us
see whether Elias will come to take Him down.
37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the
ghost.
Biblical 7 Bible Study Pit Stop ... Now, let us do a little math concerning the number 7 pattern ...
They crucified Jesus at the 3rd hour (9:00 AM) and He died at the 9th
Hour (3:00 PM). That is 6 hours and when the 7th hour began ... It
was over. We see again the number 7 Bible pattern created by God.
There are 6 time periods of work and 1 time period of rest.
Day of Rest
Number 7 Bible tidbit of Truth ... The Bible says that after the End Times, there is a one thousand year
period of time, known as the "Millennium" which Satan is imprisoned
and there is a time of peace and rest for mankind.
Revelation 20:3-4
3 And cast him [Satan] into the bottomless pit, and shut
him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations
no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and
after that he must be loosed a little season.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment
was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded
for the witness of Jesus, and for the Word of God, and which had not
worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his
mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and
reigned with Christ a thousand years.
7000 Year Prophecy Formula
The Number 7 Bible Counting Method
1000 Years = One Day to God
The Bible reveals that Heaven and Earth are reserved for fire and
judgment, but that one day to God is 1000 years to mankind:
2 Peter 3:8
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.
It also says that a thousand years in God's sight are as but a day,
as a "watch" in the night.
Psalms 90:4
For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is
past, and as a watch in the night.
Now, let us do a little more simple math based on the Biblical 7 Bible facts and figures. If God says that ... Mankind shall work 6 days and rest on the 7th. And since a 1000 years to man is but 1 day to God and there is a one thousand year time period known as the Millennium.
There is a 7000 year period divided into a 6000 year period (of work)
and then a 1000 year period of rest.
7000 Year Timeline
The Number 7 Bible Study Chart
We have been given specific dates throughout the Bible from Creation
to Jesus, so we can see how much time has passed from Creation to
Jesus. The following is a timeline based strictly on the Bible. It
took many years to perform this extensive study and create this 7000
year sign chart, so although the legwork has been done for you, the
Scripture locations have been given, so that you can confirm the
findings.
Let us proceed with our extremely exhilarating Biblical 7 Bible study... The Bible tells us at what age a son was born to the individual before him and gives other dates and years of specific events, throughout the Bible. We will add up all these years and use Adam as the starting point, being the first man in the Bible, and use the term AA (After Adam) to show how many total years had passed from the previous date to the next.
The Bible will indicate how many years had passed, so you only need a calculator to add up the amount of years that have passed from Adam to Jesus. We have created this Biblical 7 Bible study - 7000 Year graph from the Bible. (Following the graph and its footnotes is a link back to this page, or you may use your back button to return.)
Time of the Gentiles Sign
So, we see that there has been 4000 years from Adam until Jesus was
born and 4033 years from Adam to Jesus' resurrection.
Now, comes the tricky part ... We must determine how many years have
passed from Jesus' resurrection until present day as to continue the
Bible Calendar.
This period of time is known as the "Time of the Gentiles":
Luke 21:24
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away
captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the
Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Romans 11:25
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this
mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness
in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be
come in.
It is the period of time which begins after Jesus' Resurrection but
before the promised 1000 years of peace on Earth known as the
Millennium. Just before the Millennium, there will be a Biblical 7
year time period known as the End Times.
So, from the Time of Jesus' Resurrection to these End Times is the
period of time known as the Time of the Gentiles, which is a time
where Gentiles (individuals from any nation other than Israel) have
been given the opportunity to accept Jesus as their Saviour.
How do we know that the Time of the Gentiles didn't begin
until the death of Jesus?
Matthew 10:5-7
5 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:
6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 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 based on the
number 7 Bible patterns which began at His Resurrection and the start of the
New
Covenant and continues until the End Times.
Galatians 4:4-5
4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent
forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might
receive the adoption of sons.
Biblical 7 Bible Study Important Point Of Interest ... This fulness of time refers to the Time of the Jewish people who were
under law given by Moses.
John 1:17
For the law was given by Moses, but Grace and Truth came by Jesus Christ.
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.
The New Covenant (which would include the Gentiles) could not begin
until the Testator of it ... Died:
Hebrews 9:15-17
15 And for this cause He [Jesus] is the mediator of the
New Testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the
transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are
called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity
be the death of the testator.
17 For a testament is of force after men are dead:
otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
The Number 7 Bible Study Truth
So, the New Testament and the Time of the Gentiles began after the
Death and Resurrection of Jesus. Since the Time of the Gentiles began
after the Resurrection of Jesus.
If we look up at our 7000 year calendar, we see that Abraham who was
called by God to become the Father of God's chosen people, was born
around 2000 AA (After Adam). 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. Yet even more of the
number 7 Bible prophecy at work.
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 A.D.
Since it has been 4033 years from Adam to Jesus' Resurrection, we
need only determine how much time has passed from 33 A.D. to present
day as to find out how many years it has been from Adam to present
day.
Let us take the year 2020.
From 33 A.D. to the year 2020 A.D. is 1987 years.
So, lets add the 4033 years to the 1987 years and we get ... 6020 years.
Wow ... Talk about exciting !!!
Hmmmmmmm, that is a mere 20 years too many though.
7000 Year Prophecy Problem
The Number Seven Bible Pattern Concerns
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.
If you would like to see these changes in the calendars of the past
as to see what I am talking about, you can click this link, review
the page and then return to this website.
There have been so many changes that it would be impossible to track down the exact date. It is very strange though that it has been approx. 6000 years from Adam to present day. As we recall, the Biblical 7 pattern suggests there is a 7000 year period. 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. Could it be that the changes in the calendars are the reason that we came up with 6020 years? Or could it simply be that God does not count the 33 years that Jesus was here?
If so, it would only be 4000 years until Jesus' arrival and 1987 years since Jesus returned to Heaven, which would still be 13 years from the year 2000 until the 2000 years clock. Despite the exact date (which we will never know until it occurs, as it is written)... We are very close.
Perhaps we do not know the exact answer because of what we were told
clearly:
Matthew 24:36
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the Angels of
Heaven, but my Father only.
