Are there Three (3) Crisis in Revelation?
I find three (3) future divine interventions where Jesus direct presence intervenes with man:
1) Seal Six, Rev6:16 hide us from the FACE of HIM that sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb
2) Vial Seven, Rev16:15-17 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done... Rev19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
3) At end of millennium: Rev20:7-11 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are , and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
This 1st intervention is termed the Rapture. About this Paul speaks to the believers in 1Cor15:51/52 NOT ALL shall die or sleep, ... but WE ALL shall be transformed at the last trumpet. 1Thess4:16-17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Jesus also spoke of this in the parable of the 5 wise virgins, who GO OUT TO MEET the bridegroom. In this context, the 5 foolish are those who hear the gospel but become saved after the rapture but before the 2nd physical Coming. Most, if not all suffer beheading under antichrist.
In Revelations, After seal 6 most aptly start the Trumpet judgments of wrath, Rev6:17. Then after the great wrath of the trumpets and vials comes the great and Terrible Day when Christ comes with His Army of Saints.
Joel 2:1, 11, 30-31, let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand; ... And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executes his word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; and who can abide it? And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the dreadful terrible day of the Lord come.
Isa 13:6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
Isa 13:9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
Jer 46:10 For this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord GOD of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the RIVER EUPHRATES. (The Muslim nation associates in & around Syria & is explained meaning of NORTH COUNTRY)
Lam 2:22 Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the LORD'S anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.
Ezek 30:3 For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen.
Amos 5:18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.
Obad 1:15 For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
Malachi 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful terrible day of the Lord
Zephaniah 1:8, 14-17 the day of the LORD'S sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel... The great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and hastens greatly, even the voice of the day of the Lord : the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of waste and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers. And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the Lord : and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung. ( a description of tribulation years, that some say are decades away but that I think are upon us now in greater and greater measures)
2:3 Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.
Zechariah 14:1-4 Behold, the day of the LORD is coming, And your spoil will be divided in your midst. For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem; The city shall be taken, The houses rifled, And the women ravished. Half of the city shall go into captivity, But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then the LORD will go forth And fight against those nations, As He fights in the day of battle. And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, …
Rev19:13-20 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS .
And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. (These events happen just before the 1000 year peace. For next is described events near, during, and after the 1000 years.)
This is what Jesus referred to in Matt17:11-13
11 And Jesus answering said to them, `Elijah doth indeed come first, and shall restore all things, (this sentence is purely future tense, followed by past tense statements)
AND I say to you -- Elijah did already come, and they did not know him, but did with him whatever they would, so also the Son of Man is about to suffer by them.' Then understood the disciples that concerning John the Baptist he spake to them.
This chapter in Matthew described the appearance of Moses and Elijah to Jesus and 3 disciplines. It is interesting for this event to happens after the death of John the Baptizer. Yet Jesus affirms that Malachi 4:5 is an event reserved for His physical return unto the Mount of Olives.
In one sense we could say the Church represents Elijah and Israel represent Moses. In the literal Jesus was speaking of a restore. That restore, is the end of the age of the "times of the gentiles". When it is ended, then the administration of the Kingdom of God will once again revert to Jewish hands. The 144,000 sealed from the 12 tribes of Israel, who are charged to preach during the tribulation, until Christ Physical return unto the Mount of Olives.
When Jesus returns physically, are we not told of saints coming with Him?
Zechariah 14:4-5 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
Daniel 7:21-22 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
Daniel 7:25-27 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
Psalm 149:6-9 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hand; To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; To execute upon them the judgment written: this honor have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord .
< if it ALL HIS SAINTS, then do we not expect those beheaded by antichrist to also be resurrected at Christ physical return? >
Jude 1:14-15 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
< if the saints come with Christ in His physical return, then must they not have been previously resurrected ? >
Revelation 20:4-5 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
{.once I think this means only those beheaded were resurrected to reign with Christ. Another view: those raptured prior to tribulation who had meet Christ in air need not a second resurrection. They who are of the first resurrection being the saints who come with Christ upon His physical return. Then when Christ returns at end of tribulation to slay antichrist, the faithful slain during antichrist reign are also resurrected. The are the first borne. Possibly, The next resurrection is of those who are judged by their works. This judgment of works is spoken of in Romans, Corinthians, and also in Revelation. }
The 3rd and final intervention comes after the thousand years. It is talked of in terms of Gog Magog.
Rev20:8-9 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. [9] And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

Equinox by Solar Alignment Observation
Equinox by Solar Alignment Observation
God, through Moses, ordained the first month of the Jewish calendar year to start in spring. Many writers say this first month start was a great mystery.
Ex12:2,13:10 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.... keep this ordinance in ITS SEASON from year to year.
Acts 7:22 And Moses was learned in ALL the wisdom of the Egyptians...
Indeed it is a mystery, if one does not understand the ancients time keeping method by simple shadow alignments. Much ink has been used talking of the Barley harvest. But finding the first solar month could be accomplished from the Temple Mount by watching where the sunrise happened in east upon Mount Olivet. This is illustrated in the first picture.
Another method is to use a gnomon or obelisk. This was widely employed by the Egyptian culture to find time and seasons. The method is illustrated in the attached pictures. During desert travels, after the Exodus, the tabernacle was to be erected with principle ordinates. The ordinates were easily obtained by use of a gnomon, that could also serve to mark the spring equinox. Ex26:18-27 for the south side.... And for the second side of the tabernacle on the north side there shall be twenty boards:.. tabernacle, westward,...
The Egyptian culture (of Moses time) used such methods as illustrated by the Pyramid alignments. Many other ancient cultures also used monument markers to mark the four seasons, spring, summer, autumn, and winter. This is illustrated by the attached graphics.
The Mosaic calendar revolved around spring and autumn. Three main holidays were given by Moses. First was passover, with main dates on 10th and 14th day of first month. Next was Pentecost, Lev23:16 Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall offer.... The last as ... ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a sabbath- rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. Lev23:24. Marking years were mandated by the Sabbath (7) and Jubilee (50) years.
The Egyptian calendar system simply Intercalated the last days of a year. This is done in the current rabbinical calendar. Only the 1st to 7th months were critical to the ancient Hebrew calendar. The time after the 12th month unto the start of the next year new month could be counted as intercalated days, with an ignored month, if only interested in months 1 to 7.
Another way is to make an extra long 12th month. No where in bible is mention of a 13th month, hence Adar2. But these leap months are required for a lunisolar calendar. A new year should start in first lunar month where the 14th lunar day falls on or after the spring equinox. This requires "days per year cycles" of 353/355 and 383/385 days. About every 3rd year will be a leap year of about 384 days. Counting of these days fall into 3 methods. Strictly observational says wait until the equinox is seen, then simply look for the next new moon. The length of lunar cycle (29/30 days) and of solar year (365 days) are well known. Thus by these facts an end of year calculation can be made for when to declare the first new moon of the new year. Finally there is the molad method of the rabbinical calendar.
1Kings 4:7... twelve officers over all Israel,...each man his month in a year...1Ch27, 12months1year, all the months of the year...The twelfth captain for the twelfth month. The sacred duties were divided into 24 groups, this suggests rotation of a group every 2 weeks.
Twelfth month: had at least 27 days as seen by 2Kg25:27, it was given the name of Adar, see Est3:7&13,8:12,9:1. Here an eleventh month of 29 days is found by inclusive count, Neh6:15, 52 less 25 days equal 27 plus the start stop days of 2 gives 29 days. Also in story of Noah are found 5 months of 30 days each, Gen7:11,24 & 8:3-4. This indicates bible months are lunar months. For the lunar month must alternate 29 and 30 days to match the 29.5 days of average lunar period.
Marking time by equinox of these seasons has the least long term jitter. Long term Jitter is caused by earth polar precession, as demonstrated by the last graphic.

7000 Year Renew Plan by Types
The Seven creative millennial days of 7,000 years as shown in scriptural types.
Next up a look at sundry estimates for 15th year of Tiberius Caesar etc..
The whole of scripture is but a love story of God, seeking to restore man to the fellowship enjoyed in the garden of Eden; "Adam where are you?" Gen3:9. A secondary correlation is that the restored fellowship will be in a new heaven and a new earth. For just as thru one man's disobedience death entered so by one man's obedience many are redeemed, Ro5, for John saw a new heaven and new earth coming, Rev21. This work began with the promise of redemption given in Gen3 and ends after the Sabbath rest of 1000 years, Rev20. Until corruption entered earth by Adam's fall there was no need for a "new heaven and new earth". For prior to the fall, God had blessed his creation and said it was "very good", Gen1:31. After this break the earth became cursed, Gen4:14, 17 or broken.
2Pet3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. (Also Ps90:4)
The below two 7 day feasts in one year speak of the 7 day creation and of the new creation in 7 days of a thousand years each: Peter and Paul explain that during this 7 millennial days unto the recreation of the new heaven and new earth, the work of God is to bring in a full harvest of souls and none be lost. During the millennial era there is no exercise of free will or choice. Thus after the millennial rest, the devil is loosed & works to entice men to join in a last rebellion. This is expounded in chapter 20 of Revelation. The millennial rest of 1000 years, is a sabbath rest. However before the sabbath rest, there must come six days of work. If there be no work days, then there be nothing to take rest from. Also if the rest day is 1000 years, so also must be the length of each work day to have a Sabbath or 7th day.
Ex34:18a The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the (1st) month, Abib: ...
Leviticus 23:34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord .
Deut.31:10-11 And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles, When all Israel is come to appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
Nehemiah 8:14-15 And they found written in the law which the Lord had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month: ... saying, Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written...
This second feast also serves as a type to remind us of the truth seen in Hebrews 11:13-16; "These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.
Thus all the righteous of the 7 days of the new creation are but pilgrims looking for that perfect city that is yet to come.
The 7,000 faithful speaks of the righteous who heed the call to live godly in this present age. This is shown in the genealogy of Jesus in gospels of Luke and Matthew. These genealogies run from Jesus, all the way back to Adam. Even though Adam sinned, his redemption was completed in Christ, for Adam was called, "the son of God". And in every age there are those who can be called, "children of the Most High". These 7000 could also represent the 7000 years wherein are found in each year the Faithful Children of the Most High.
1Kings19:18 Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.
Ro11:4-5 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace ...
Could the righteous 7000 represent that in each and every year of the 7000 years unto a new creation, there be the elect, called by grace?
The seven appointed days unto a new creation are typed in the 7 appointed days for all animal to go onto Ark before the flood. The ark represents salvation, the flood is a type of the destruction that shall come at end before the new heaven and new earth. Genesis 7:2,4 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
These ages are typed in the precious metals of Solomon temple. The golden age of God is the last 3000 years of the gospel and redemption. The silver or less worthy age is the whole of the 7000 years, for even the end is tainted by the rebellion of Gog Magog, Rev20:8.
1Chron29:3-5 Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, which I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house, Even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses withal : The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for all manner of work ...
This type also seen in the time taken to build the temple of Solomon, if one allows a millennium for each year. 1Kgs6:38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.
As Peter said we are lively stones being built up as a spiritual house, 1Pet2:5.
The cleansing power of Christ extends unto all 6000 years of fallen humanity as typed in the 6 earthen jars in which Jesus turned water into wine, Jn2. Wine being a type of the Holy Spirit or redemption by blood. Clay or stone and water being types of nature. Also, that this was Jesus first miracle, implies this is the most important element of Christ work. This total redemption work was told of by Peter, 1Pet3:18-22. It was not for posterity that John mentioned the wedding was 3 days after Jesus baptism. For in Rev21 the marriage of Jesus comes after the Sabbath rest or after 3 millennial days from the start of Christ work.
John 2:1-6 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it . And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
The third day marriage is also alluded to in the appearance of God to Israel in the Exodus story; Exodus 19:10-11 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, And be ready against the third day: for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
Again at start of Jesus work, to the temple rulers Jesus stated, "destroy this temple and in 3 days I will raise it again", Jn2:19. In the first instance (Hebrew: Pashat) Jesus referred to His resurrection after crucifixion. This can also be a type (Hebrew: Drash) of Jesus return and setting up the new Jerusalem; Rev21:3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. { in 3 days or day5, day6, day7Sabbath, new heaven& tabernacle }
This event happens after completion of the 1000 year millennial Sabbath. Thus there be another 2000 prior years or 2 millennial days to be included, if there are to be a total of 3 millennial days for setting up the true tabernacle or temple.
And again in the count of Job's possessions
Job 1:2-3 And there were born unto him (Job) seven sons and three daughters. His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.
That there remain 2000 polluted years can be found in the demonic pigs who threw themselves over a cliff near Sea of Galilee, Mk5:13
Mark 5:12-17 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea. And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done. And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine. And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.
The end of this story is just as at the end of the ages, when Gog Magog and wicked people seek to cast the Throne of God out from the earth, Rev20:7-10.
The two millennial days can be found in the story of Jesus and woman at Jacob's well, where Jesus stayed preaching the Kingdom of God, and many believed.
John 4:40-43 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days. And many more believed because of his own word; And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world. Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
Also it is seen in the story of the Good Samaritan if we see the care of the wounded man as those entrusted to the care of the church. The Inn Keeper is given 2 days of pay to care for the traveler and the Good Samaritan ( a type of Jesus) promises to return after about 2 days.
Matthew 20:2 And when he had agreed with the laborers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. Luke 10:34-35 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever you spend more, when I come again, I will repay thee. …
"Lets pick up the story from the Book of Joshua, And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host; And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God (The ark is a symbol of Jesus), and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it. Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go (Josh 3:2-4). This is a prophecy that the people will follow Jesus across the river (Crossing a river is an idiom for passing beyond death!) 2,000 years after the Lord! When the people passed over the Jordan, the waters stood up in a heap; the waters stopped but notice how far back the waters were stopped up, And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,) That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam (all the way back to Adam) (Josh 3:15-16). At the other end of the river the waters dried up all the way down to the Dead Sea! This is symbolic of Pauls statement, death reigned from Adam to Moses (Rom 5:14)! "
The dual creations of 7 days could also be typed in the 2 feasts of 7 days. We find sandwiched in between the 2 creations is Pentecost (Penti=5) or 50 times 120 Jubilee or 6000 work years to bring in the full number of redeemed elect.
2Chron30:21-24 And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the Lord day by day, singing with loud instruments unto the Lord. And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the Lord : and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the Lord God of their fathers. And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept other seven days with gladness. For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.
Of they what slew Syrian army
1Kings20:15 Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
Also in Lazareth raising from dead, the four days of death reflect the 4 days of "the Law and Prophets" before start of The Kingdom of God initiated by John. "John 11:17,39 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already... Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days." Allowing Lazareth to be in grave 4 days was an intentional act by Jesus, for he tarried an extra two days before going to his friend Lazareth. John 11:6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was. The stay 2 days by Jesus was again an indication that the Kingdom of God will be preached and declared for a time of two millennial years.
The Law and Prophets were until John, since then the Kingdom of God is preached. Lu16:16, Matt.11:12-13. The marking of this time division is given in Luke 3, being the 15th year of Tiberius Caesar, etc and Jesus being about 30 year of age being as supposed the Son of Joseph ... The son of Adam, the Son of God.
And always recall that The God we serve is a God of Plan, a God of Purpose, a God of Design, and in Him there are no accidents. This was demonstrated in the life of Joseph when he stated:
Gen50:20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
The dealing of God with Joseph and Israel were just a subset of God's plan as declared to Abraham:
Gen15:13,16 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; ... But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
This was again shown in the work and person of Christ:
Rev13:8b ... of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
1Cor2:7-10 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it , they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God.
Eph2:7-10 That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.
1Pet1:20-21 He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God
The Seven creative millennial days of 7,000 years as shown in scriptural types.
The Seven creative millennial days of 7,000 years as shown in scriptural types.
The whole of scripture is but a love story of God, seeking to restore man to the fellowship enjoyed in the garden of Eden; "Adam where are you?" Gen3:9. A secondary correlation is that the restored fellowship will be in a new heaven and a new earth. For just as thru one man's disobedience death entered so by one man's obedience many are redeemed, Ro5, for John saw a new heaven and new earth coming, Rev21. This work began with the promise of redemption given in Gen3 and ends after the Sabbath rest of 1000 years, Rev20. Until corruption entered earth by Adam's fall there was no need for a "new heaven and new earth". For prior to the fall, God had blessed his creation and said it was "very good", Gen1:31. After this break the earth became cursed, Gen4:14, 17 or broken.
2Pet3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. (Also Ps90:4)
The below two 7 day feasts in one year speak of the 7 day creation and of the new creation in 7 days of a thousand years each: Peter and Paul explain that during this 7 millennial days unto the recreation of the new heaven and new earth, the work of God is to bring in a full harvest of souls and none be lost. During the millennial era there is no exercise of free will or choice. Thus after the millennial rest, the devil is loosed & works to entice men to join in a last rebellion. This is expounded in chapter 20 of Revelation. The millennial rest of 1000 years, is a sabbath rest. However before the sabbath rest, there must come six days of work. If there be no work days, then there be nothing to take rest from. Also if the rest day is 1000 years, so also must be the length of each work day to have a Sabbath or 7th day.
Ex34:18a The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the (1st) month, Abib: ...
Leviticus 23:34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord .
Deut.31:10-11 And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles, When all Israel is come to appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
Nehemiah 8:14-15 And they found written in the law which the Lord had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month: ... saying, Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written...
This second feast also serves as a type to remind us of the truth seen in Hebrews 11:13-16; "These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.
Thus all the righteous of the 7 days of the new creation are but pilgrims looking for that perfect city that is yet to come.
The 7,000 faithful speaks of the righteous who heed the call to live godly in this present age. This is shown in the genealogy of Jesus in gospels of Luke and Matthew. These genealogies run from Jesus, all the way back to Adam. Even though Adam sinned, his redemption was completed in Christ, for Adam was called, "the son of God". And in every age there are those who can be called, "children of the Most High". These 7000 could also represent the 7000 years wherein are found in each year the Faithful Children of the Most High.
1Kings19:18 Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.
Ro11:4-5 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace ...
Could the righteous 7000 represent that in each and every year of the 7000 years unto a new creation, there be the elect, called by grace?
The seven appointed days unto a new creation are typed in the 7 appointed days for all animal to go onto Ark before the flood. The ark represents salvation, the flood is a type of the destruction that shall come at end before the new heaven and new earth. Genesis 7:2,4 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
These ages are typed in the precious metals of Solomon temple. The golden age of God is the last 3000 years of the gospel and redemption. The silver or less worthy age is the whole of the 7000 years, for even the end is tainted by the rebellion of Gog Magog, Rev20:8.
1Chron29:3-5 Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, which I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house, Even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses withal : The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for all manner of work ...
This type also seen in the time taken to build the temple of Solomon, if one allows a millennium for each year. 1Kgs6:38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.
As Peter said we are lively stones being built up as a spiritual house, 1Pet2:5.
The cleansing power of Christ extends unto all 6000 years of fallen humanity as typed in the 6 earthen jars in which Jesus turned water into wine, Jn2. Wine being a type of the Holy Spirit or redemption by blood. Clay or stone and water being types of nature. Also, that this was Jesus first miracle, implies this is the most important element of Christ work. This total redemption work was told of by Peter, 1Pet3:18-22. It was not for posterity that John mentioned the wedding was 3 days after Jesus baptism. For in Rev21 the marriage of Jesus comes after the Sabbath rest or after 3 millennial days from the start of Christ work.
John 2:1-6 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it . And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
The third day marriage is also alluded to in the appearance of God to Israel in the Exodus story; Exodus 19:10-11 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, And be ready against the third day: for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
And again in the count of Job's possessions
Job 1:2-3 And there were born unto him (Job) seven sons and three daughters. His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.
That there remain 2000 polluted years can be found in the demonic pigs who threw themselves over a cliff near Sea of Galilee, Mk5:13
Mark 5:12-17 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea. And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done. And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine. And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.
The end of this story is just as at the end of the ages, when Gog Magog and wicked people seek to cast the Throne of God out from the earth, Rev20:7-10.
The two millennial days can be found in the story of Jesus and woman at Jacob's well, where Jesus stayed preaching the Kingdom of God, and many believed.
John 4:40-43 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days. And many more believed because of his own word; And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world. Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
Also it is seen in the story of the Traveler, if we see the care of the wounded man as those entrusted to the care of the church. The Inn Keeper is given 2 days pay to care for the traveler and the Good Samaritan ( a type of Jesus) promises to return after about 2 days.
Matthew 20:2 And when he had agreed with the laborers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. Luke 10:34-35 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever you spend more, when I come again, I will repay thee. …
"Lets pick up the story from the Book of Joshua, And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host; And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God (The ark is a symbol of Jesus), and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it. Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go (Josh 3:2-4). This is a prophecy that the people will follow Jesus across the river (Crossing a river is an idiom for passing beyond death!) 2,000 years after the Lord! When the people passed over the Jordan, the waters stood up in a heap; the waters stopped but notice how far back the waters were stopped up, And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,) That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam (all the way back to Adam) (Josh 3:15-16). At the other end of the river the waters dried up all the way down to the Dead Sea! This is symbolic of Pauls statement, death reigned from Adam to Moses (Rom 5:14)! "
The dual creations of 7 days could also be typed in the 2 feasts of 7 days. We find sandwiched in between the 2 creations is Pentecost (Penti=5) or 50 times 120 Jubilee or 6000 work years to bring in the full number of redeemed elect.
2Chron30:21-24 And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the Lord day by day, singing with loud instruments unto the Lord. And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the Lord : and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the Lord God of their fathers. And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept other seven days with gladness. For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.
Of they what slew Syrian army
1Kings20:15 Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
Also in Lazareth raising from dead, the four days of death reflect the 4 days of "the Law and Prophets" before start of The Kingdom of God initiated by John. "John 11:17,39 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already... Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days." Allowing Lazareth to be in grave 4 days was an intentional act by Jesus, for he tarried an extra two days before going to his friend Lazareth. John 11:6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was. The stay 2 days by Jesus was again an indication that the Kingdom of God will be preached and declared for a time of two millennial years.
The Law and Prophets were until John, since then the Kingdom of God is preached. Lu16:16, Matt.11:12-13. The marking of this time division is given in Luke 3, being the 15th year of Tiberius Caesar, etc and Jesus being about 30 year of age being as supposed the Son of Joseph ... The son of Adam, the Son of God.
