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.
