Jim;
       After I sent the last email, I thought about something that I need to correct and clarify regarding the 7th day.

       I stated, "in Gen. 2:2-3 (the description of the 7th day) there is "no evening and morning."  It is left out.  WHY?  I believe it is because God sanctified it and blessed it and it's the day He "rested" and there will be no end to it.

       Here is the correction:  The 7th day DOES have an end.  I made the incorrect statement because I was focusing on the 7th day as having "no time constraint".....which is doesn't.....however, it WILL end after the Millennial Kingdom and the Great White Throne Judgment.

       THEN, on the "8th day" we will be ushered into eternity! The 8th day (or, the 1st day) signifies a new beginning....and it will have no end.  We see this 8th day in Rev. 21 - a new heaven and a new earth.....and the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven.

       To further clarify the 7th day, and why I believe we have already entered into it.....let me say that if indeed the 6th day (or, 6,000 years of man's dominion) has ended as the Rabbis declared......the 7th day, having no evening and morning....is not bound by time constraints.  In other words, even though we understand that "a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as a day with the Lord", the 7th day -aka The Lord's Day- will encompass MORE than 1,000 years.  This is because it includes The 70th Week of Daniel, as well as the Millennial Kingdom.  Because there is no "evening & morning" to restrict what needs to be done (bringing Israel to Redemption during the last 70th Week), and because there will indeed be a 1,000 year Reign of Christ.....the Lord's Day encompasses this entire period.

       As I stated previously, when, at the start of the new year 5760- Rosh HaShanah 2000, the Rabbis declared, according to their understanding, that the 6,000 years had ended, this was a signal that the 7th day -or the Lord's Day- had begun.   The Lord is orchestrating events now that will conclude with Jacob being saved out of his trouble.

(I believe that even in the election of George Bush -and the ensuing "hanging chad" legal battle- that there was also a spiritual battle raging.  In fact, the delay in deciding who would be president made me think of the angel Gabriel when he was prevented or delayed on his way to reveal to Daniel understanding of the words spoken to him.)

       But anyway, it isn't hard to see that this world is growing more apostate everyday and that man is destroying God's creation.  It isn't hard to see that Israel has no spiritual eyesight with which to see any deliverance out of their trouble, nor any faith in deliverance through the coming of the Messiah.  Their own futile attempts in continuing to give away the land which God brought them back to in order to "buy peace" has given them nothing but more trouble and lives devoid of hope of ever seeing true & lasting peace.

But, back to the 7th day - The Lord's Day.....Paul spoke of The Lord's Day to the Thessalonians (I Thess.5).  In the Lord's Day we see it will be a time when they say Peace & safety (there's the false peace that ac will offer as some kind of security guarantee).....and we see the falling away (which I believe is the moral and spiritual apostasy that we are seeing today - even in the Laodiciean church, "the mystery of inequity doth already work")....and we see the revealing of the antichrist.  I believe that we are IN that 7th day when these things will come about...we can already see events forming to bring it about.

       As we advance into this 7th day, we will see more > we will see the working of satan with the power (temporarily given to him), and we will see the signs and lying wonders,  and we will continue to see the accelerating deceivable unrighteousness in them that perish.  And when God sends (see that?...God sends) them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth...... what lie, what delusion, might this be?...I believe it will be that the antichrist is god......... for We who HAVE BELIEVED will NOT believe that lie!!!  We KNOW whom we have believed!

I'm saying this to show that God is completely in charge now, during this 7th day.  We can see the set up even now.  Those of us who believe are WATCHING because we recognize we are in the end days - the last days - WE ARE IN THE 7TH DAY!   I say it again:  I believe the prophetic 70th Week of Daniel has begun and it began in the new year of 5760, Rosh Hashanah 2000.

       Analogy and typology show the correlation and the parallel of Jacob's Trouble and the 70th Week, and the Generation that shall not pass but see all things fulfilled, of the ending of the 6,000 days and the 7th day which follows......layer upon layer showing where we are at on the Timeline - it is all coming together NOW.
