Our current church age is foreshadowed in passages throughout the Old and New Testament to last 2,000 years in duration. (Hosea 6:3, 2 Peter 3:8, Luke 13:32, John 2:1).
This Age began at Christ's death, which occurred around 29-33 AD, and will likewise finish around 2029-2033 AD, according to the Millennial Day Theory timeline.
When one factors the seven-year Tribulation into the equation, (which occurs just prior to Christ's millennial reign), we are likely looking at a watch period of 2022-2025 for a pre-trib Rapture of the Church. It's already 2023, so we are already within this window.
This watch period also coincidentally lines up with the prophetic forecast given in the "Lesson of the Fig Tree" referenced in Matthew 24:32. The generation that sees the state of Israel reborn in the Holy Land (which occurred in 1948) will not pass before the end times prophecies are fulfilled.
The length of the "final generation" is prophetically referenced in Psalm 90:10. The passages' author, Moses, lived for 120 years himself. This was written for people in the end times. The length given is 70-80 years, which gives a "final generation" date range of 2018-2028 for the pre-trib rapture to occur.

"The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away." (Psalm 90:10)
Also consider the six-day Creation week in Genesis. Yahweh (God) rested on the seventh day. This seventh day of resting also patterns/foreshadows Christ's upcoming millennial (1,000 year) kingdom on earth in the seventh and final millennium of earth's history thus far.
Known as the "Millennial Day Theory," the blueprint to this incredible prophecy is given to us in 2 Peter 3:8:

"But 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."
Scripture interprets scripture. God has a 7,000 year master plan for human history that will be fulfilled before the new heavens and earth are created, as laid out in Revelation.

What are your thoughts on the "Millennial Day Theory?" Christ to come back in the 7,000th year
I am pretty much in agreement with that understanding / viewpoint. (y)






[I've stated in past posts, that I believe we are in the "7 good years" before the "7 bad years/years of famine" will commence (Gen41)--i.e. the 7-yr Tribulation period that we, "the Church which is His body," will not be present on the earth for; Once "our Rapture" takes place, that will be a major impetus that helps (many of) Israel to turn to Christ in faith... and it is these who will be carrying forth the "INVITATION" TO "the wedding FEAST / SUPPER" (Matt24:14, Dan12:3b, etc) aka the promised and prophesied EARTHLY Millennial Kingdom (i.e. "the meal [G347]"), commencing upon His "RETURN" there / to the earth... "when he will RETURN FROM the wedding" (Lk12:36-37,38,40,42-44 parallel to Matt24:42-51; etc)]

2 Peter 3:8 is not a formula. It's a general statement about time from God's frame of reference.


1000 years IS a day & a day IS 1000 years is a false conclusion and certainly not what the verse states.
God is not boxed in to time as we are. For him, a week is like a million years and a million years like a week.

Not much.


People seem to have a need to set dates. But God will do what He's going to do regardless of our expectations.

I agree that this is a much-abused verse. One most notable abuse is that of extending the Creation week to cater to modern science (science-so-called.)

My belief about a 7000-year timeframe is based upon the 1000-year seventh day Millennial Reign.

I am in general agreement with your post. I would add Hosea 6, which makes ZERO sense unless you incorporate the 1000 yrs = a day in God's sight doctrine.

Hosea 6:1-2

New King James Version

6 Come, and let us return to the Lord;
For He has torn, but He will heal us;
He has stricken, but He will bind us up.
2 After two days He will revive us;
On the third day He will raise us up,
That we may live in His sight.


So they have to RETURN to the Lord. They were torn and stricken (AD 70)
After 2 days (2000 yrs) HE will revive them, and on the 3rd day (1000 yr millenial reign) HE WILL LIVE (and reign) IN THEIR SIGHT!

Right. And I believe this is why Peter states, "...BE NOT IGNORANT of THIS ONE THING"... because there is something *important* to consider about what it is he is saying here (about the matter he's addressing).

It's a neat theory And it might be right.. But i think people set the wrong date,, the birth of Christ as the 5000th year date.. If the theory is in any way correct the Significant date was probably the day Jesus died on the cross in 30 AD or maybe the day He was risen from the dead? or maybe even the day He ascended into heaven?

But having said all that i believe the scriptures that say that No one will know the day or the hour.. And i also believe that the true followers of the LORD Jesus will know the times and they will look up knowing that Jesus return is imminent..

This is right. I don't like how people automatically dismiss a theory because of the "no one knows the day nor hour". Of course we don't know! I am not setting a date. But we will know the season and even when it is right up to the door.

I think this theory is accurate because it is accompanied by many other end times prophesies

Did someone mention a day or hour?

But we ARE specifically told what the signs will be at the time of His Return.

will it be on tv? Or you tube?

I mean for people that like to watch tv. Watching tv is very important, for Christians especially you tube videos, for some strange reason.

God tells us in his word to watch sure enough, but He gives us instriction on How to watch. We are to be busy about the things we are supposed to be doing and being good to the bretheren. This is How we watch, not mathmatic scripture mind tricks to figure out when He is comming. He repeatedly say He will return at an unexpected time.

Since it is true that 7, 70, 70 x 7, are the numbers of divine perfection, 7,000 years would not be unreasonable for the "end of the age". But we need to take actual Bible chronology into account. And based upon that we have already exceeded 6,000 years. The Millennium of Revelation 20 must be taken in its plain literal sense. Which means that the dates will not mesh exactly as 7,000.
