The Lord's plan of 6000 years have ended.

The church is with the Lord

The Day of the Lord has begun for 7 years
-----------------------------------------------------------

From the Episle of the Apostle Barnabas

And God made in six days the works of His hands, and made an end on the seventh day, and rested on it, and sanctified it. Attend, my children, to the meaning of this expression, He finished in six days. This implies that the Lord will finish all things in six thousand years, for a day is with Him a thousand years.

And He Himself testifies, saying, Behold, today will be as a thousand years. Therefore, my children, in six days, that is, in six thousand years, all things will be finished. And He rested on the seventh day. This means: when His Son, coming [again], shall destroy the time of the wicked man, and judge the ungodly

Wouldn't the thousand yr reign of Christ be considered the 7th day?

Absolutely. But what I am saying is the 7th Day begins the Tribulation, not at end of the seventh week

I view the possibility of the great tribulation being man made as man's attempt to distance him self from God causing the blessings of God to cease. As Jesus siad ...you can do nothing without me. A time where man turned to his own ways.

Does not Yeshua open the scrolls?

Prophet Joel said-- Great and Terriblle Day of the Lord

Peter said------------Great and Glorious Day of the Lord

That moment in time that divides the righteous from the unrighteous
 
If one wants to understand the scriptures, one cannot be just a surface reader of the Word of God.

This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet: “I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world.”

All this Jesus said to the crowds in parables; indeed he said nothing to them without a parable.

I spoke to the prophets; it was I who multiplied visions, and through the prophets gave parables.

This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.
 
Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

The last Day will be when the 6000 years has ended.


He who rejects me and does not receive my sayings has a judge; the word that I have spoken will be his judge on the last day.

And this happens inside the Day of the Lord

Only misery awaits those inside the Day of the Lord

Wail, for the day of the Lord is near;
as destruction from the Almighty it will come!
7 Therefore all hands will be feeble,
and every man’s heart will melt,
8 and they will be dismayed.

Pangs and agony will seize them;
they will be in anguish like a woman in travail.
They will look aghast at one another;
their faces will be aflame.
9 Behold, the day of the Lord comes,
cruel, with wrath and fierce anger,
to make the earth a desolation
and to destroy its sinners from it.

10 For the stars of the heavens and their constellations
will not give their light;
the sun will be dark at its rising
and the moon will not shed its light.

11 I will punish the world for its evil,
and the wicked for their iniquity;

I will put an end to the pride of the arrogant,
and lay low the haughtiness of the ruthless.
12 I will make men more rare than fine gold,
and mankind than the gold of Ophir.
 
Day of the Lord--A day of Vengeance

10 That Day is the Day of the Lord God of hosts,
a day of vengeance,

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to bring good tidings to the afflicted;
he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
2 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor,
and the day of vengeance of our God;
to comfort all who mourn;

When Jesus came to Nazareth and spoke in the synagogue, e repeated the scriptures from Jer. 46

17 and there was given to him the book of the prophet Isaiah. He opened the book and found the place where it was written,

18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives
and recovering of sight to the blind,
to set at liberty those who are oppressed,
19 to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” Luke 4

But he left out the words Day of Vengeance for this was to be fulfilled in the future

This prophacy is a good example of how the prophets saw things from afar without temporal perspective. They were moved in spirit to see the final results, but not how those things would be accomplished over time. If it wasn't for Luke documenting that event, dispensationalists/futurists would declare that entire prophecy to be about the end-time day of the lord, because that is the bias through which they filter scripture .
 
I have posted this before but I cannot explain how important this understanding is that came to me after many months of prayer. Consider the odds.

Feeding of the 4 & 5 Thousand--Miracle of Multiplication

Lord does nothing without foretelling his servants the future. Take Malachi 4:2 for example.

But for you who fear my name the sun of righteousness shall rise, with healing in its wings ( or rays ). You shall go forth leaping like calves from the stall (grave).
I see this scripture as being meant for the Hebrews and telling of a future resurrection. On that Passover weekend I also see a time element being spoken. Notice the word sun and not son. Not an error in translation; Lord was saying the sun being made on the fourth day, predicted his entry and coming into Jerusalem on that Passover after 4000 years, also the revolution of the year.

Parables and stories are there to alert us things which are shortly coming to pass and for me none is greater than the story of the feeding of the 4 and 5 thousand.

“Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened? 18 Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember?

19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They said to him, “Twelve.” 20 “And the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” And they said to him, “Seven.” 21

And he said to them, “Do you not yet understand?” Mark 8

What a question? Do you not understand?

Well, first the baskets. From the Greek manuscripts we see a portent concerning the baskets. The basket used to feed the 5000 was a kophino, and the basket used to feed the 4000 was a spuris. This holds true in all 4 gospels whenever the baskets are mentioned, as well in the book of Acts. The kophino basket used to feed the 5000 was jewish because when the people followed Jesus across Lake Galilie he was asked questions only a jew was asked, such as, " Our ancestors ate manna in the wilderness

As for the basket used to feed the 4000, Jesus had left the area of Tyre and Sidon in Lebanon and approached the area of Decapolis. Decapolis was a group of ten cities given to the Greeks for their assistance during the times of conquering the territory. When Apostle Paul was fleeing Damascus, he was let down over the wall in a spuris basket---A Gentile basket in a Gentile city.

So we can easily say the kophino basket used to feed the 5000 was jewish and the spuris basket used to feed the 4000 was Gentile. Strongs Concordance for kophino is #2894 and for spuris #4711.

Now to the feeding of the 4 & 5 thousand. If the Lord had wanted,He could have made it come out to the very crumb as to what was needed to feed the multitude. The miracle was the multiplication of food and we will feed them just as Jesus did! The jews were fed with 5 loaves and 2 fish, and the gentiles with 7 loaves and a few (2) fish.

Feeding of the 5000
5 loaves times 2 fish = 10
5000 divided by 10 = 500 ( Lord divided it among the 5000)
500 times 12 baskets left over = 6000 ( Blessings multiplied)
6000 years

For in so many days the world was made, in so many thousand years shall it be concluded. ( From the Epistle of Barnabas )

Attend, my children, to the meaning of this expression, He finished in six days. This implies that the Lord will finish all things in six thousand years, for a day is with Him a thousand years. And He Himself testifies, saying, Behold, today will be as a thousand years. Therefore, my children, in six days, that is, in six thousand years, all things will be finished. And He rested on the seventh day. This means: when His Son, coming [again], shall destroy the time of the wicked man, and judge the ungodly, and change the-sun, and the moon, and the stars, then shall He truly rest on the seventh day. Barnabas--named an apostle in Acts 14
Feeding of the 4000
7 loaves times 2 fish = 14
4000 divided by 14 = 285.7143
Blessing left over are multiplied
7 baskets left over times 285.7143 =2000
2000 years
This is the number of years till his return. All are gentile christians in this story of the 4000..

This was a powerful life-changing event for me 40 years ago, but only the beginning!
 
Transfiguration==story of resurrection/rapture

After six days---after 6000 years

Cloud--meeting the Lord in the clouds

Moses--represents righteous dead

Elijah---represents righteous living

Now Luke couldn't remember but he said about 8 days, Represents a resurrection/rapture at end of the millenium

But what biblical basis do you have for saying such things as Moses representing the righteous dead, Elijah representing the righteous living, Luke not remembering, or 8 days representing a resurrection/rapture at the end of the millenium?

Moses did die so if you are thinking he could be one of the two witnesses that cannot be for it is appointed for the righteouis to only die once. Elijah, one of the two witnesses to come has not seen death yet.

During the Millenium, the earth will be repopulated after the Tribulation by the few who are left and so--as in the Feast of Tabernacles--the greatest day is the 8th day for a reason

There is a reason for every event that was recorded as for everything the Lord said or did had a parable attached
 
2 Thess 2

2 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the departure occurs and the man of sin is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.

My friend John a language scholar had this to say about--rebellion, falling away, or departure meaning

 
My journey is over as far as knowing if we as christians enter the Tribulation.

Lord will remove us before the Tribulation which begins the Day of the Lord

Maranatha Lord
 
This custom, of not bending the knee upon Sunday, is a symbol of the resurrection, through which we have been set free, by the grace of Christ, from sins, and from death, which has been put to death under Him. Now this custom took its rise from apostolic times, as the blessed Irenæus, the martyr and bishop of Lyons, declares in his treatise On Easter ( Feast of First Fruits ), in which he makes mention of Pentecost also; upon which [feast] we do not bend the knee, because it is of equal significance with the Lord's Day, for the reason already alleged concerning it.
 
Amos 5 18 Woe to you who desire the Day of the Lord!

Why would you have the Day of the Lord?

It is darkness, and not light;
 

The Great Day of the Lord​

14 The great Day of the Lord is near,
near and hastening fast;
the sound of the Day of the Lord is bitter,
the mighty man cries aloud there.

15 A day of wrath is that day,
a day of distress and anguish,
a day of ruin and devastation,
a day of darkness and gloom,
a day of clouds and thick darkness,

16 a day of trumpet blast and battle cry
against the fortified cities
and against the lofty battlements.

17 I will bring distress on men,
so that they shall walk like the blind,
because they have sinned against the Lord;
their blood shall be poured out like dust,
and their flesh like dung.

18 Neither their silver nor their gold
shall be able to deliver them
on the day of the wrath of the Lord.

In the fire of his jealous wrath,
all the earth shall be consumed;
for a full, yea, sudden end
he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth.
