I did a search on "biblemaths" and got nothing, so will post here as I didn't know where else to post.
here's the link: http://www.biblemaths.com/
The site is all about numerical Bible coding, but has a clickable mention to Universalist books, so I assume it is UT friendly. Maybe not everyone here is into Bible Codes (I am!) but it may be worth a look to you.
Actually, I found that the link to Universalist books, links to Tentmaker!
So, maybe this isn't news here... :doh:
Then the LORD said, "My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days will be a hundred and twenty years."
--Gen 6:3
God will only put up with man in mortal flesh for 120 years, not forever according to the translator.
The word for 'days' here is 'yom,' which can mean a day or a space of time. The word for 'years' is 'shaneh' which can mean a space of time or a revolution of time. The translator has chosen 'years' for the space of time here because the translator thinks God is talking about one man's lifetime.
What makes the most sense to me here is that these are not years but 120 jubilees, or 120 times 50, or 6000 years.
At 6000 years, the sons of God will be revealed. And, God will no longer have to strive with man's mortal flesh.

God is not finished with you yet.
Neither are we.
In the year of Jubilee, every debtor was set free. Everyone was returned to their original inheritance. The losses incurred by years of foolishness and the gains incurred by years of craftiness were destroyed, so that no one could gain control over the communal resources and no one could be punished forever for the mistakes of the past.
Wow, sounds like being set free from futility into the glorious freedom of the children of God- doesnt it!!! :banana: :dsunny: :boogie: :Egyptdance2: :bowing: :trampoline: :tease: :drummer: :skittles: :gguitar:
Also explaines why there were only a few Jubilees observed in the history of the nation. :sorry: :pitiful:

Of course, the Jubilee message is ignored by nearly all Christian clergy, because it sets people free from the Babylonian debt machine which grants tax-exemption privileges, and because it contradicts ever-lasting punishment. Yes, even the Jubilee message upholds universal reconciliation!

I've heard that with all the genealogies and timelines, the way they add up is 6000, and will be complete between 2026-2028.
Also, is Bible codes a hoax? Heard varying opinions on it, but wanted to make sure.
I think that's pretty close with the numbers - I.e., 6000. I don't know about the Bible code. I haven't heard it is hoax.. :dontknow:
I did come across a verse not too long ago that said something about Jesus(?) I think, returning after 2 days, and this one time I believe a day for a thousand years rule(?)/code..
But of course the dates are controversial What year was His departure - death, rising & ascension? 28-32.. 26-33? It's interesting. Highlights the accuracy of Testament.. (impact of real ness..)

I briefly looked into Bible codes, but concluded that one would need to have the math capability of God to determine whether or not some of the proposed codes are of divine/supernatural origin.
