God’s 7000 Year Plan
The Bible shows us that God has a 7000-year plan for human development:
a) God sets a pattern in Genesis of 7 days – 6 days for creation and 1 day of rest.
b) The Millennium is referred to many times as the “rest”.
c) A day is like a 1000 years (For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night. Psalm 90:4 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 2 Peter 3:8).
The 7,000 year plan of God has been consistent with Jewish thought for thousands of years.
Epistle of Barnabas 15:3-5: “3 He speaks of the Sabbath at the beginning of the Creation, “And God made in six days the works of His hands and on the seventh day He made an end, and rested in it and sanctified it.” 4 Notice, children, what is the meaning of “He made an end in six days”? He means this: that the Lord will make an end of everything in six thousand years, for a day with Him means a thousand years.
And He Himself is my witness when He says, “Lo, the day of the Lord shall be as a thousand years.” So then, children, in six days, that is in six thousand years, everything will be completed. 5 “And He rested on the seventh day.” This means, when His Son comes He will destroy the time of the wicked one, and will judge the godless, and will change the sun and the moon and the stars, and then He will truly rest on the seventh day.”
