Hi John and Doves,
The 6000 years revisited.
EPISTLE OF BARNABAS
Of the Sabbath He speaketh in the beginning of the creation; And God made the works of His hands in six days, and He ended on the seventh day, and rested on it, and He hallowed it. Give heed, children, what this meaneth; He ended in six days. He meaneth this, that in six thousand years the Lord shall bring all things to an end; for the day with Him signifyeth a thousand years; and this He himself beareth me witness, saying; Behold, the day of the Lord shall be as a thousand years. Therefore, children, in six days, that is in six thousand years, everything shall come to an end. And He rested on the seventh day. this He meaneth; when His Son shall come, and shall abolish the time of the Lawless One, and shall judge the ungodly, and shall change the sun and the moon and the stars, then shall he truly rest on the seventh day (Epistle of Barnabas, 15:1-5).(Written 70-132AD)
text preserved in the 4th-century Codex Sinaiticus, it appears immediately after the New Testament and before the Shepherd of Hermas. For several centuries it was one of the "antilegomena" writings that some Christians looked on as sacred scripture, while others excluded them
JEWISH WRITINGS from oral traditions before Jesus time.
'It was taught in the school of Elijah: The world will endure 6000 years -- 2,000 years in chaos, 2,000 years with Torah, and 2,000 years will be the days of the Messiah' ('Talmud,' Sanh.97a).
The Tanna debe Eliyyahu teaches: The world is to exist six thousand years. In the first two thousand there was desolation; two thousand years the Torah flourished; and the next two thousand years is the Messianic era (Babylonian Talmud: Sanhedrin 97a).
HOSEA
After two days will he revive us: in the third day, he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight {Hosea 6:2}.
2 PETER 3
3First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation." 5But they deliberately forget that long
ago by God's word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water.
6By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. 7By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. 8But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
9The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 10But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. 11Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat.
Christ Baptised 15th Year of Tiberius (Luke 3:21), Likely AD25/26/27 or AD29
If the 2000 years and 6000 years end between 2025 and 2029, then likely there will some period leading up to the end period which will start soon. This period will either be 7 years, or 3.5 years(1260 days), or else if the writers from the 1840s are correct, then the first 5 seals & the beast have already occurred during the 1260 years leading up to 1900/1948 and this was the Saracens & Mahometans and Papists, in which case there is only the 6th Seal left and Christ coming back in the clouds to both Rapture the believers and Judge the earth with Wrath, and a microsecond before that, a significant turning to Jesus of Israel believers.
And if the Abomination was the dome as was stated by the Christian leader at Jerusalem at the time, then 688 + 1335 = 2023 (or 690 + 1335 = 2025)
And the 4 Generals plus a few years, add 2300 comes to about 2023.
Jesus Parable of the figtree(Israel) and this Generation (Matthew 24). 1948+max80 = 2028
Dan 11:35: the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time.
