End of the World by the Numbers 9/3/2021 9:25:34 AM
The end is not nigh!
You think things are bad now
You ain’t seen nothing yet Running the numbers, the End of the World would appear to be sometime in the 31st century
In Psalm 90 and again in 2Peter we see a thousand years and one day are equivalents
The World in Genesis was created in six days
Thus, creation could logically come to the end six thousand years after creation
The Hebrew calendar currently reads 5781 or ‘twilight’ of Day 5
The 31st century would be ‘twilight’ of the sixth day
(Hebrew calendar day ends at sunset)
In Matthew 6 and Luke 12 we see that no one can add an hour to one’s life by worrying
In some translations cubit and stature are used
So distance and time are mingled
In Ezekiel chapter 47, an angel measures in one thousand cubit segments, a distance from the temple for a total of 4 thousand cubits
If one counts 4 thousand years from the temple’s construction you come to the 31st century
In fact, let’s break down what happens after each 1,000 cubit (year) measurement:
1. First thousand gets from time of the temple construction to the time of Jesus, and we see the water flow is ankle deep. This relates to the last action of Jesus before crucifixion, namely, the washing of the feet.
2. Second thousand cubits brings us to circa 1,000 AD. The water is then described as knee deep. Much happened about that time, such as the split of the Church into East and West.
3. Third thousand cubits brings us to current time. Waist deep water occurs.
4.Fourth and final thousand cubits yields a river requiring swimming. It will be the 31st century.
(BTW, water figures prominently in my article entitled God’s Alarm Clock is going Off, and There Is No Snooze Button)
Jesus says He will rebuild the temple after 3 days
3 thousand years from the temple’s destruction would be 3070 AD
Just before Ascension, Jesus helps the Apostles catch 153 fish
153 multiplying by a 20 years per generation factor is 3,060
Again, the 31st century
In Acts if the Apostles, after the descent of the Holy Spirit, which is the start of the CHURCH, 3,000 are added to their numbers
Again, the 31st century
The Book of Revelation speaks of the thousand year reign of Jesus
I believe that the 21st century is recapitulating the life of the Lord
(See blog titled such)
The point here is that if his ‘reign’ is starting now, the one thousand years ends in the 31st century
Not that Big things aren’t happening soon, but have faith that it is not the ‘end’ just yet
