7000 YEAR SIGN
To completely comprehend the depths of End Times prophecy shared with us in the Bible that relates to the number 7, we will have to begin by understanding what the End Times are. The End Times is a phrase used to describe a time period of great tribulation like never before.
|
Matthew 24:21
For then shall be great
tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the
world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
|
And, it very well may be in YOUR future.
In what is known as the Olivet Discourse (In the
Gospels) which is a sermon that Jesus gave upon the Mount of
Olives, the Apostles asked Jesus, "What shall be the "sign" of
your return and of the end of the world?"
|
Matthew 24:3
And as He sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came
unto Him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things
be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end
of the world? |
It is clearly
written in the Bible, that nobody knows the day or the hour of the "END
TIMES" ...
|
Matthew 24:36
But of that day and hour
knoweth no man, no, not the Angels of Heaven, but my Father
only.
|
And that day, comes as a thief in the night
...
|
2
Peter 3:10
But the day of the Lord will come as a
thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a
great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth
also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. |
But, we are also
told to watch and to be prepared, so that the day does not come upon us as a
thief in the night which further explains this ...
|
1 Thessalonians 5:1-6
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write
unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so
cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and
safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a
woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not
in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all
the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the
night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but
let us watch and be sober. |
It says that, even though that day will come as a "thief in the night,"
to MANY, that
the children of the light will NOT have that day overtake them as a
thief. A child of the light, is a child that is enlightened. One that
knows what is to be and is prepared.
|
Revelation 3:3
Remember therefore how thou hast
received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt
not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what
hour I will come upon thee.
|
In THE SAME MESSAGE revealed in the Olivet
Discourse:
|
Matthew 24:42-44
Watch therefore: for ye know not what
hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the
house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have
watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son
of man cometh. |
Jesus said that if someone knew what "watch" (general time
frame) a certain event would occur, that they could then, be prepared for it. But, how in the world would we know what "watch" (general time frame) Jesus will return and when the End Times will occur? Jesus gave us the answer when He said that what we are to watch for is ...
Patterns, signs and
for us to discern past prophecy as to know what"watch" the
End
Times will occur. Many of these patterns and signs 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
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 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 |
Even more of the Biblical 7 at work ... 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 and Mark 15:34-37
And it was the
third hour,
and they crucified Him ... 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? And some of them that stood by,
when they heard it, said, Behold, He calleth Elias. And one
ran and filled a sponge 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. And Jesus cried
with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. |
Now, let us do a little math concerning the Biblical 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
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
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. 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 simple math based on the Biblical 7 pattern ...
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 ... 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 7000 Year graph from the Bible ...

*
Genesis
5:32
... And Noah
was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
This
means Noah
began having his three sons at age 500. They were not triplets.
Ham was youngest so they were not all born at age
500.
Genesis 9:24
... And
Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done
unto him.
This is
further proven because Arphaxad was born when Shem was age 100 ...
(Which was 2 years after the Flood)
Genesis
11:10
... These are the
generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad
two years after the flood ... |
|
**
Genesis
11:26 ... And Terah lived seventy
years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Terah lived 70 years
and begat his three sons.
Like Noah tho, they were not all born at same time,
this is just when he began having children.
They were not triplets.
So, we must search the scriptures a lil
as to discern Terah's age, when he had Abram (Not when he started having
his children)
We know that
Terah died when he was 205 ...
Genesis 11:32 ... And the days of Terah were two hundred
and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
The very next verse
in the Bible reveals that once Abram's Dad died ... God called Abram to
leave Haran.
Genesis 12:1
... Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and
from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will
shew thee:
This is confirmed
again ...
Acts 7:4 ...
Then came he (Abram)
out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran (Haran): and
from thence, when his father (Terah) was dead, He (God) removed
him (Abram) into this land, wherein ye now dwell.
Abram was 75 years old when he left
Haran just after Terah died.
Genesis 12:4 ...
So Abram departed, as the LORD
had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and
five years old when he departed out of Haran.
Doing the math ...
Terah was 205 when he
died.
Abram was 75 when he left Haran after Dad died.
205 - 75 = 130 ...
Terah
was 130 years old when Abram was born.
Sooooooo, the timeline would be ... 2121 BC - 130 = 1991
BC =
Abram's birth.
|
|
***
Genesis
12:4
... So Abram departed, as the
LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was
seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
Exodus 12:40-41 ...
Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in
Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty
years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts
of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
Acts 7:6
...
And God spake on this
wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that
they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four
hundred years.
Galatians 3:16-17
...
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith
not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed,
which is Christ. And this I say, that the covenant, that was
confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was
four hundred and thirty years
after, cannot dis-annul, that it should make the promise of none
effect.
The time between
the promise made to Abraham when he left Haran headed for the
Promised land and the Law (Old Covenant) given to Moses in the
wilderness after the Exodus was 430 years. |
|
****
TIME OF JUDGES
Acts 13:16-22 ... Then Paul
stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and
ye that fear God, give audience. The God of this people of
Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt
as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought
he them out of it. And about the time of
forty years
suffered he their manners in the wilderness. And when He had
destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their
land to them by lot. And
AFTER that He gave unto them judges about the space of four
hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul
the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of
forty years. And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them
David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony,
and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine
own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.
Paul shares that after the exodus
that there were judges for ABOUT 450 years. |
|
*****
Elijah was a prophet IN AND
AROUND 875 BC |
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. |
TIME OF THE
GENTILES SIGN
There is a time
period mentioned
in the Bible
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
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 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
But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. |
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
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. For where a testament is, there must also of
necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is
of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength
at all while the testator liveth.
|
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. 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 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 2020.
From 33 AD to the
year 2020 AD is 1987 years.So, lets add the
4033 years to the 1987 years and we get ...
6020 years
WOW ... Talk about
exciting !!!
Hmmmmmm, 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
CALENDARS
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.
