David H. Stern writes concerning this fateful prophecy: "According to Jewish tradition, there were 2,000 years without Torah -- spiritual tohu -- between the creation of Adam and the time when Abraham, aged 52, began convincing people to worship the one true God.

"The second 2,000 years supposedly lasted from then until 172 years after the destruction of the second Temple, that is, until 244 C.E. That was the year 4000 by the Jewish calendar. But no significant event in Jewish history took place then. However, Biblical chronology has a number of uncertainties, so that not all agree that the Jewish calendar accurately dates the biblical beginning of creation. James Ussher, Arch-bishop of Armagh, Ireland, writing in the 17th century, placed the creation according to Genesis at 4004 B.C.E., exactly 4000 years before Yeshua's supposed birthdate . . .

Six Thousand Years and Beyond. ....... Are We Nearing the END of this World? ....... In Biblical times it was commonly believed among.

Six Thousand Years and Beyond . . . Are We Nearing the END of this World?

Notice that the "Jewish Calendar" says this fall begins the Jewish year 5760 from Creation. This itself creates confusion in terms of chronology. The creation date set by the Jewish calendar is 235 years later than the carefully reconstructed date discovered by Archbishop James Ussher, of 4004 B.C. The Jewish calendar puts creation at 3760 B.C.E. This date is impossible. How could this have occurred, since the Jews are a very talented, mathematically gifted people? It has been suggested that the Jewish calendar actually begins with the

time or birth of Enos -- grandson of Adam and Eve -- who was born 235 years after the creation of Adam (Gen.5:3-6). This fact may indicate or suggest that Adam and his progeny discovered the secrets of the calendar, and began making conclusions concerning astronomical timetables, the orbits of planets, and comets, and the revolution of the earth about the sun, at the time of the birth of Enos -- thus beginning the calendar from that point.

When Are the 6000 Years Fulfilled? ....... With these things in mind, let's backtrack on chronology. To know when the 6000 years are to end, we must establish when they begin. ....... Archbishop Ussher, a brilliant Protestant theologian of the seventeenth century, studied the chronology of the Bible and concluded Creation was 4004 B.C. His calculations, if right, would indicate the 6000 years would be up in the fall of 1997. To be precise, October 23,1997. Of course, the world did not end on that date, nor did the Messiah come. However, the stock market took a dive of 560 points on that day. Could that have been a warning of things to come? ....... Archbishop Ussher was a great Biblical historian and theologian.

He was born in Nicholas Street, Dublin, in 1581 A.D., and was one of the first scholars admitted to Trinity College, at the tender young age of 13. Ussher believed the Bible was literally true, like other scholars of his day, and attempted to work out the precise day and time of Creation, and when we could expect Christ's second coming. He was an expert in Hebrew, Latin and Greek, and was assisted by one of the largest libraries in all of Western Europe. ....... Ussher concluded Creation occurred on noon, October 23rd, 4004 B.C. His reasoning was simple: Since history showed Nebuchadnezzar died in 562 B.C., and Biblical chronology showed his death was 3,442 years after Creation, then Creation had to be 4004 B.C. 3442 plus 562 equals 4004. Simple. ....... Ussher's scholarship was published in 1650 as The Annals of the World. Ussher also deduced that the Temple of Solomon was finished on 2004 B.C., 2000 years after Creation, and Christ was born 4 B.C., 4000 years from Creation. .......

Ussher believed, as many did in his time, that the end of the world or age would occur 6000 years from Creation. His calculations were widely accepted at the time and were inserted into the margins of many published Bibles of the Authorized King James Version in 1701. ....... 6000 years from 4004 B.C. brings us to the year 1997. However, as we can all see, at this time, the world did not end and Christ did not return at that date. Why not? Was Ussher wrong? Or is there more to the story? .......

The Plot Thickens -- The Book of Jubilees ....... The Jewish book of Jubilees tells us that the 6,000 years of man's rule should not be counted from the date of Creation, but implies that we should count from the date of Adam and Eve's transgression in the garden of Eden -- when they came under the influence of the serpent, Satan the devil. This was seven years after their original creation!....... Although we cannot state with absolute certainly, the indication from Biblical prophecy and Biblical evidence, is that the 6,000 years from Adam and Eve should be counted from the time they sinned, and were expelled from the Garden of Eden. That's when the countdown began. The book of Jubilees tells us that this occurred seven years after their original creation in 4004 B.C. Notice: .......

"And during the first week of the first jubilee Adam and his wife had been in the garden of Eden for SEVEN YEARS tilling and guarding it. And we gave him work and we were teaching him to do everything which was appropriate for tilling. And he was tilling. And he was naked, but he neither knew it nor was he ashamed.

And he was guarding the garden from the birds and beasts and cattle and gathering its fruits and eating. And he used to set aside the rest for himself and his wife. And what was being guarded he set aside. ....... "At the END OF SEVEN YEARS which he completed there, SEVEN YEARS EXACTLY, in the second month on the seventeenth day, the serpent came and drew near to the woman" ........ (Jubilees 3:15-17). .......

As we know, Eve and Adam both sinned, were enticed into transgression, and banished from the Garden. This occurred most likely, therefore, seven years after their original creation, in 4004 B.C. -- or in the year 3997 B.C. The seven years of idyllic paradise should not be counted in the 6,000 years during which mankind has been subject to the "god of this world," Satan the Adversary (II Cor.4:4, Eph.2:2). Thus we have: 4004 B.C. 6000 years 2003 A.D. -7 -3997 B.C. +1 3997 B.C. 2003 A.D. 2004 A.D.!!!

Some may wonder why we "add" a year in the final column, to reach 2004 A.D. The answer is simple. There is no year "zero." Therefore, when counting from B.C. to A.D., we must "add" an extra year for the years to correspond to reality. ....... This suggests that the Messiah could return at the Feast of Trumpets, in the fall of 2004 A.D. -- unless God cuts short the time (Matt.24:22). But there is even more to the story!....... The Year 2000 in Prophecy! ....... Interestingly, we note from God's Word that He placed the heavenly bodies in the sky for a very special purpose. We read in Genesis 1, "And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for SIGNS, and for seasons, and for days, and years" (Gen.1:14)........

A "sign" in Hebrew is owth and means "a signal, as a flag, beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence." Gesenius' Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon points out that this word means "a sign," "a token" (Exo.12:13; Josh.2:12), "signs and times" (Gen.1:14), i.e., "signs of times." It is used of a military ensign, a sign of something past, and a sign of something future, a portent, as well as a sign of anything which cannot be seen. .......

Thus heavenly bodies, and the periodic return of comets, and celestial meteor showers, can be, in Biblical terms, a "heavenly sign"! Yeshua spoke of such signs occurring berore His return to planet Earth (Matt.24:30-31). The apostle John also associated them with the coming of "the Day of the Lord" (Rev.6:12-17). Such signs are also mentioned as occurring before the day of the Lord in the Tanakh -- the Old Testament Scriptures (Joel 2:30-31; Joel 2:10; Joel 3:14-16)........ What is most interesting is that in the year 2000 several "heavenly signs" are going to appear in the heavens. In the year 2000 we will witness the following conjuctions: May 5, 2000 A.D. -- all five visible planets, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn -- will be in alignment. May 31, 2000 A.D. -- a conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn.......

The Jewish expectation of a Messiah was connected with a peculiar sidereal conjunction. According to the well-known Jewish commentator Abarbanel, in his commentary on the book of Daniel, the Rabbi declared that -- "the conjuction of Jupiter and Saturn in the constellation Pisces betokened not only the most important events, but referred especially to Israel . . . He further argues that, as that conjunction had taken place three years before the birth of Moses, which heralded the first deliverance of Israel, so it would also precede the birth of the Messiah, and the final deliverance of Israel" .......

(quoted in Edersheim's The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah, p.211). ....... Such a conjunction occurred two years before the birth of Christ. The conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in the constellation of Pisces only occurs once in 800 years -- but did take place three times in the year 747 A.U.C. (in May, October and December), or two years before Christ's birth. Says Edersheim, "This conjuction is admitted by all astronomers. It was not only extraordinary, but presented the most brilliant spectacle in the night sky" (p.212). ....... Do these amazing conjunctions scheduled for May, 2000, also forecast the SECOND coming of the Messiah to bring about the Reign of God on the earth?

Another Hidden Prophecy Points the Way ....... Another Biblical "SIGN" points to our day as being the "Time of the End," or the "crisis at the close" (Dan.12:9), or "crisis at the end" (Dan.12:4, Moffatt translation)........

We read in Deuteronomy 32:7, "Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations . . ." Jewish rabbis believe that the "days of old" are a reference to the "days of creation." If so, then there were six days of creation, each day with 24 hours -- or a total of 144 hours. Let's apply these to the "years of many generations." Since a "generation" in Scripture is revealed to be 40 years (Num.14:34), all we need do is multiply 144 X 40 which equals 5,760........

What is so significant about 5760? Just this: According to the Jewish calendar, the year 5760 begins September 11, 1999 and lasts till September 30, 2000! ....... What makes this story even more interesting is the fact that Jewish rabbis began counting the verses in the Hebrew text of the Torah -- the first five books of the Bible. According to their simple count, Deuteronomy 32:7 -- the verse just mentioned -- is the 5,760th verse in the Bible!....... Is this mere "coincidence"?....... Could this verse be a prophecy for the future -- indicatring that the Jewish year of 5760, which is the Roman year 2000, will be a "year to remember" -- a "year of consequences" -- a "year of the turning point" in prophecy? Is this a year that sets apart "the end of days," the "time of the end"? According to a thirteenth century Jewish commentary:

"The 'days of old' are the six days in which God made the world; and these days know and are acquainted with all the years of the world, and all generations up to this generation to which we ourselves belong" (R. Abba). .......

Writes J. R. Church in Prophecy in the News:....... "In other words, the six days of Creation, along with the seventh day wherein God rested, represent a heavenly plan in which this present world should last for seven thousand years -- that man's work will cease at the end of six-thousand years , followed by a thousand years of utopian Divine rest........ "It is astounding that such a statement should appear in a verse that corresponds to our calendar year 2000. According to accepted biblical chronologies, 4,000 years transpired from the creation of Adam to the birth of Christ. ....... There have been 2,000 years since then. .......

"Think of it! We are approaching the conclusion of 6,000 years of human history. It is certainly time for us to consider those six Creation days" ( J.R. Churc, "The Days of Old," November 1998, Prophecy in the News, p.13-15)........ The Year 5760 in Hebrew Gematria ....... It should be obvious that the year 5760 in the Jewish calendar, which corresponds to the year 2000 in our modern Roman calendar, is a very significant year -- a year of great mystery -- a year of amazing prophetic fulfillment! Shortly after the beginning of this fateful year, in December 1999, the Leonid meteor shower is expected to create a most marvelous, tantalizing spectacle of meteor fireworks in the night sky -- perhaps the greatest such spectacle in hundreds of years!.......

But there is even more to the story. The numbers "5" and "7" in Hebrew numbers are represented by the letters Tau [t] and Shin [v]. Together, these letters signify "in the days of," or, "as it was in the days of." The number "60" in Hebrew is represented by the letter Samech [s]. This letter is shaped like an "O" in English, with a "hook" on the upper left, and represents an endless cycle, beginning and recycling at the "hook." It symbolizes the fundamenteal truth of the Word of God -- the whole Torah of God. The "end" is inwedged in the beginning, and the beginning in the end. Thus this letter signifies the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new cycle -- in other words, a fateful year of TRANSITION!....... The letter Samech means "to support," and "Divine presence." It can also mean "to rely on." It reflects the power of God to support His people -- shows that we can "rely on" God in time of need. Will the year 5760 be such a year, when we will need to learn to RELY ON GOD AND HIS DIVINE PRESENCE FOR OUR SUPPORT -- THIS YEAR OF THE BEGINNING OF A NEW "CYCLE" -- THIS "TRANSITION YEAR"?

The circular shape of Samech also symbolizes a "wedding ring." This emphasizes our Christian-Messianic relationship with the Bridegrrom, Yeshua -- our covenantal relationship, as His Bride for all eternity, based on the "marriage" vows of the Torah, which is our marriage document. In a circle, all points on the perimeter are equidistant from the center -- Christ. This illustrates how all of us are equally loved and important before God -- and He should be the center of our lives. Just as in the Israeli "hora" dance, where the participants all form a circle, if we all together hold hands, and look to God as our center, our central focus, we should cling together in perfect harmony, unity, hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder........ It is also interesting that the Aaronic blessing recited by the priests in the Temple of God consisted of sixty (60) Hebrew letters -- the numerical value of Samech. Also, since each hand has thirty (30) bones, when the priest raises his hands to bless the people, 60 bones are thus used in blessing. The blessing reinforces the theme of "new beginning," in the endless cycle represented by the letter Samech. This letter first appears in Scripture in Genesis 2:11 and 2:13, in the word sabab, meaning "to surround, compass, revolve, or border" (Strong's Concordance), referring to the rivers that flowed from and surrounded the Garden of Eden. The river divided into four, and like the Word of God, represents the water of life that "surrounds all worlds." According to Rabbinic thinking, this is contained in the blessing when the Kohanim -- priests -- bless the people of God........

Thus the "Year of Samech" -- the year 5760 in the Hebrew calendar -- is pregnant with powerful meanings and symbology! It represents the end and beginning of a cycle -- and the support and divine presence and blessing of God! Surely, we will need God's help and support more than ever as we enter this "transitional period" -- the entrance to Daniel's 70th week -- this onrushing "chamber of horrors" called the Great Tribulation which separates us from the rest of eternity and the Kingdom of God! .......

Jesus Christ foretold, "And there shall be SIGNS in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the seas and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory" (Luke 21:25-27).

2007 A.D. in Bible Prophecy!.......

Will Christ return in 2007 A.D.? Or will He "finish the work and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth" (Rom.9:28)? Speaking of the last days, the end-time generation, Jesus said: "And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved [alive]: but for the elect's sake, those days SHALL BE SHORTENED" (Matt.24:22). Luke 13:32-33)........ More and more, as we approach the end of this age, we see a world careening out ofcontrol, and rapidly coming to a smashing crescendoing CLIMAX!.......

This new understanding of Biblical chronology would also imply that the "final week" of Daniel's "70 weeks prophecy" will begin in 2000 A.D. (Dan.9:24-27). This "seven years" corresponds to the "time of Jacob's trouble" (Jeremiah 30:6-8), and the "crisis at the close" spoken of by Daniel -- a "time of trouble" such as has never been upon the earth in all its gory, ....... bloody, sanguinary, cruel history (Daniel 12:1). It also corresponds to the "seven times" punishment prophesied in Leviticus 26 and expounded also in Deuteronomy 28. Remember, a "time" in prophecy refers to a "year" in fulfillment (compare the 3 1/2 "times" of Dan.7:25, 12:7 and Rev.13:5, with Rev.11:2-3 and 12:6 and 12:14). ....... Therefore, the last year of this world's "crisis at the close" (Dan.12:4, Moffatt translation) would very likely be from 2006 A.D. to 2007 A.D (either spring to spring or fall to fall reckoning, we don't know for sure). This means that the prophesied "Great Tribulation" foretold by all the prophets, and the Messiah Himself (Matt.24:21-22) will begin very possibly in the MIDST of the final week, and be the last 3 1/2 years of this age, from 2003-4 to 2007 A.D. The final YEAR, 2006-2007, would then be the ultimate and calamitous and awesome "Day of the Lord" -- the final year of this age of Satan's dominion! (Zeph.1:14-18; Joel 1:15-20). .......

Nevertheless, no matter how we examine it, the indication is that the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, to put an end to man's hellish inhumanity, is less than ten years away -- He will most likely come back to Planet Earth within the next DECADE!....... The exact date of the end of the 6,000 years, of course, is not the crucial thing. Jesus Christ indicated that no one would know the precise day or hour of His return. He said, "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only" (Matt.24:36). Nevertheless, He did give us distinct signs to look for! And He did not say we could not know the approximate date and time of His return! Certainly, as we see these events unfold, in the future, and see the "abomination of desolation" spoken of by Daniel the prophet, that should be firm indication that there are only "three and one half years left" (see Dan.9:26-27, 12:7 and Matthew 24:15-16). However, those days could also be "shortened" (Matt.24:22 and Rom.9:28)........ What is the main lesson these vital End-Time prophecies show us? Simply this: Despite the cries of the critics and the taunts of scoffers, the prophecies of Daniel and the Word of God reveal that OUR GENERATION -- this present generation -- will be the FINAL, LAST, END-TIME GENERATION that will see all these things come to pass, and that will WITNESS the awesome, spine-tingling return of JESUS CHRIST, ....... THE MESSIAH in tremendous power and unimaginable ....... GLORY!!! .......

Jesus Himself said: "Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till ALL these things be fulfilled" (Matt.24:34). You and I -- those of us of THIS present generation of the Atomic Bomb, nuclear weapons, biological and chemical weapons of mass destruction -- WE are the ones living in the Biblical "time of the end" -- the FINAL generation! The time has come. The Messiah's footsteps are approaching. His coming is near. His heavenly stallion is getting nervous, chomping at the bit, getting ready for that great ride through the sky (Rev.19:11-14). The heavenly army is growing tense with excitement and anticipation. The time is near -- the moment we are all breathlessly waiting for. ....... Blessed is He that comes in the Name of the Lord! Barch haba ha shem Adonai!
