Isaiah 53 from the Aleppo Codex

Who has believed Our report? And to whom has the arm of יהוה been revealed? For He comes up as a tender plant before Him, and as a Root out of a dry ground. He has no form, nor honor, when we observe Him, nor beauty, that we should desire Him. He was despised, and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief. And as one hiding His countenance from us, He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows, yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by Elohim, and afflicted. And He was pierced for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned each to his own way, and יהוה has laid on Him את the punishment of us all. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth. He was led as a Lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, He did not open His mouth. By oppression and trial was taken away, and who can speak of את His descendants? For He was cut off from the land of the living, for the transgressions of My people He was stricken. And He made His grave with את the wicked, and with את the rich in His death, because He had done no violence, nor was any deceit in His mouth. Yet it pleased יהוה to bruise Him and to cause Him to suffer, and though יהוה makes His life an offering for sin, He will see His offspring and prolong His days, and the will of יהוה will prosper in His hand. He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, for He shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will give Him a portion with the great, and shall divide את the spoil with the strong, because He poured out His soul even to death, and was numbered with את the transgressors, and He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Before He left this earth, יהושע gave a great commission to His disciples.

Matthew 28:16-20 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which יהושע had appointed for them. When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted. And יהושע came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, immersing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Set Apart Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the Age [of the Messiah]." So be it.

A disciple is actually a student and these Discipleship Study Questions are designed for disciples to study the Hebraic concept of time in which Elohim's plan for His universe unfolds within 7000 years. The idea that there is a corresponding millennium for each day in the 7 day creation sequence concluding with a millennial Sabbath is referred to as chialism or millennialism.

The Scriptural basis for this idea comes from the teaching of Moses in Psalm 90:4, Peter in 2 Peter 3:8, and John in Revelation 20:1-7. The phrase 1000 years is mentioned a total of 9 times in these passages. All chronological teaching concerning the 7000 Year Plan of Elohim on this site is based on a theoretical epoch of creation that occurred beginning at sunset in Jerusalem on Saturday, June 5, 3977 B.C.E. on the proleptic (retro-calculated) Julian Calendar on the Day of Salvation on the Creation Calendar. Paul said:

2 Timothy 2:15 Study to show yourself approved to Elohim, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
