Some of you say that this is not a literal 1000 years but I disagree.
Consider this
For 6 days God created, but on the 7th day rested.
Now 1 day with the Lord is as a thousand years.
So 6 days = 6000 years
But on the 7th day God rested for 1000 years, representing the 1000 years of millenium peace
Satan is also bound for 1000 years and coincides with this exact amount of millenium peace
A great future in store for the Earth
:cloud9: I'm not a literalist, as you know by now.....so.....HIS peace is when the flesh is no longer warring against His Spirit. Since Christ IS that Spirit, and is the day of the Lord, then we have that "1000 year" day of peace now, if we be IN Christ.
This, of course, also explains why "Satan" is bound for that length of time, also. My :2c: Blessings...
TT,
I have not really concluded anything on exact dates yet but....
If 1 day is a 1000 years then Revelation woud be at year 6000 since creation.
Another interesting "calculation" is the jubilee cycle. It seems to align quite well with the above.
:cloud9: EXACTLY, WW......

As you see can see in the picture 2027 AD
I've done my own calculations too.
15 Sept/1 Tishrei 2023 AD. That's 70 Jubilees (70*7) after entering Canaan.
Israel (1948) Jubilee year
Many events seem to be linked to the Sabbath/Jubilee cycle.
It's (almost) impossible to get things right because for various reasons not even the Jubilee cycle is clear.
Neither are all the (needed) events dated. So can't really linked to the cycle.
While I'm sure the above is not accurate, all calculation methods seem to cluster arond the above mentioned years.
12-16 years to go :winkgrin:
:cloud9: Good work, WW......do a study on the 9th of Avib (sp) as it relates to event's in Israel's past. Quite eye opening, and as effective in settling the issue of control, as looking up all the names of people, places and things in there was for me. :msealed: Blessings...

I don't like being thought as a literalist because it puts me in a box, if you must label me, then label me a crazy lunatic, because within this box you can expect anything! :msealed:

I think you mean Abib=Nisan
What's special about 9th of Abib?
Or do you perhaps mean 9th of April = First Fruits = Resurrection?

:cloud9: Yes; my spelling is bad now, LOL.....anyway, He did at a lot of things, had a lot of things happen to them THROUGHOUT history on that date. CAN'T be a "coincidence". Blessings....

My initial reaction is :laugh2:. Then I think, maybe my reaction should be :mshock:. I guess that's the question. What next? Right now ain't lookin' so encouraging. I know it ends well, but what about in the meantime... :thinking:
Quote from: jabcat on June 24, 2010, 05:24:49 AMI guess that's the question. What next?
Everthing in the Bible is historically correct. Events did happen. If we read many got killed in a war then we believe it because it's written.
But just because Revelation is about us it can't be a historical fact.
I don't believe to really see the Four Horsemen ride the earth and such things. But I do expect something. Father is very fond of numbers. His endgame also is connected with numbers. And those numbers point towards the a time not so far away.
