The Seven Days of Creation are thought to prophetically represent seven one thousand year periods of human history, which is the theme set by Moses in Psalm 90 and echoed by Peter. Six days of work followed by The Sabbath Rest on the Seventh Day. This is the Divine Pattern, which eludes to 6,000 Years followed by The Messianic Millennial Reign for The Final 1,000 Years.
בראשית ברא אלהים את השמים ואת הארץ
"Bereshit Berah Elohim Et HaShimayim V'Et HaEretz."
"In the beginning, God created The Heavens and The Earth." - Genesis (Beresheit) 1:1
There are Six Alephs ( א ) in the first verse of The Hebrew Bible. The Numerical Value if Aleph ( א ) , which is spelled ( אלף ), is One. The Hebrew word for "One Thousand" is Eleph ( אלף ), pronounced with an "E" instead of "A" and is spelled exactly the same as Aleph. The Jewish Sages have long derived that this as a sign that this physical realm will exist in this form for 6,000 years. As it is written, the end of the Sixth Thousand Year millennium, the Messianic era will be ushered in, spanning the remaining thousand years. During this time, the world will begin its push toward the renewal and of The Eighth Day, representing Spiritual Perfection.
“For in Your sight a thousand years are like yesterday that has passed, like a watch of the night.” Psalm 90:4
Peter reminded us of this in The New Testament as well:
"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." - 2 Peter 3:8
We can also find evidence of this is in The Talmud, so we know that this is an early Jewish Rabbinic Teaching:
תנא דבי אליהו ששת אלפים שנה הוי עלמא שני אלפים תוהו שני אלפים תורה שני אלפים ימות המשיח
The school of Eliyahu taught: Six thousand years is the duration of the world. Two thousand of the six thousand years are characterized by chaos; two thousand years are characterized by Torah, from the era of the Patriarchs until the end of the mishnaic period; and two thousand years are the period of the coming of the Messiah. - Talmud, Sanhedrin 97a
If analyze this verse in The Talmud, we easily construct this timeline as the first Two Thousand Year period is pre-flood, which was "Chaos". The Next Two Thousand Year period of Torah would started with Noah, then Abraham and Moses, going through The Kingdom Period, up to the time of Yeshua (The Messiah). Of course he ushered in the Messianic Period that we've been in for the past Two Thousand Years; which somehow eluded the Jewish People despite their Rabbinic Writings and understanding of this timeline.
The Thousand Year reign of Yeshua on earth is also stated Six Times in Revelation 20 - Six Times in Six Verses. This is NOT by chance...
"And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand (1) years,
And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand (2) years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
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 (3) years.
But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand (4) years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand (5) years.
And when the thousand (6) years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison" - Revelation 20:2-7
Now, here is something to contemplate. The more I study scripture, the more I see how it repeats over and over again. I believe this to be part of the hidden significance of the Ezekiel's Vision. We see the entire story of The Bible played out over and over again, ending in Revelation. It's not difficult to see these patterns cycling over and over again. We see the prophecies in the Old Testament coming to pass in later Biblical Days, and ultimately we will see it all again.
"The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel." - Ezekiel 1:16
712 = "Wheel Within a Wheel" ( האופן בתוך האופן ) "HaOphen B'Tok HaOphen"
712 = Return Of ( שיבת ) "Shivat"
*712 - as in 7 Days of The Week and 12 Months of The Year, that just cycles through, over and over again.
Knowing all of this and the fact that "One Day is with HaShem as a Thousand Years, and a Thousand Years as One Day", we can relate this with Yeshua's Resurection. We know that "just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth", those physical three days came to pass and is coming back around on HaShem's 1,000 year scale. John records that the resurrection happened early on The Third Day, "while it was still dark" - thus before this was before dawn.
"Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb." - John 20:1
Due to foreign captivities over the centuries, the Jewish Calendar is missing some years. Since they're missing, we don't know exactly how many. The traditional Jewish date recognized by the rabbis as the "year of destruction" is approximately 165 years later than the accepted year of 587 or 586 BCE. This discrepancy is referred to as the "missing years". As I'm writing this in September 2022, it is Hebrew Calendar Year 5782, about a week away from Rosh Hashana, Hebrew New Year going into 5783.
I'm not big on Eschatology, as I know that no man can predict it and I think it's futile to even try. As it is written in Mark 13:32 - "But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." We do know that Yeshua was crucified between 30 and AD 36 A.D. If One Day is a Thousand Years to HaShem, then simple math reveals that we're soon coming up that Biblical Third Day and we know that He was raised early on that day, before dawn; so theoretically, it could happen anytime now.
Another sign sign of confirmation is that we are entering the Age of Aquarius, coming out of The Age of Pisces, which is represented by The Fish and has obvious symbolism of pointing to Yeshua. He told us Himself in Matthew 28:20 - "And behold, I am with you always, to the End of The Age." The energy of Pisces is said to have brought to life the notions of forgiveness, empathy, innocence, love and devotion to something greater than the self. In contrast, The Aquarian Age is said to be more inline with for personal and intellectual freedom.
Just like all of this information, we don't know the exact year of this new Age of Aquarius; so truly, no one knows will know the day or the hour...however, we've been given several signs and all we have to do is turn on the news to see the signs playing out in front of us right now. I'm extremely concerned for all of the non-believers and for anyone else who buries their heads in the sand and ignores all of this. We all need to pray for them and do whatever we can to help bring them into The Light.
Observing how history repeats itself, just as a "Wheel Within a Wheel", we can see that when Hosea prophesized these three days, that have passed, are yet come and pass once again.
"After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him." - Hosea 6:2
