Jim - I have another correction to make on what I wrote - please bear with me. When I am writing, sometimes I am not thinking as I'm writing, it just comes out too quickly and I put down something not stated quite right. Here it is:I said, "" 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 year 5760 DID NOT START or begin at Rosh Hashanah of 2000!!!
THE YEAR 5760 ENDED THE DAY BEFORE ROSH HASHANA OF 2000!!!The year that Rosh Hashana of 2000 ushered in was that of the Jewish year 5761!!!
The reason that it is IMPORTANT to the Jewish point of view of the ENDING of the year 5760 in our year of 2000 is that of the "PURIFICATION BATH" or Mikva, in which it is said that for it to be FULL so that the PURIFICATION can commence it TAKES EXACTLY now get this "5760 EGG VOLUMES of water" to fill it up and then ready for the (usually) Bride to purify herself before the marriage!
AGAIN, what a "coincidence" that this was come to the FULL with the COMPLETION of the year 5760 the very day before Rosh Hashana and the beginning of the 70th week of Daniel/ Day of the Lord beginning for the purification process of the Nation of Israel to bring Her to repentance!
Amazing, isn't it? Shalom, Sherry Vance
