Isaiah 53
from the Aleppo Codex
The 7000 Year Plan of Elohim
The prophet Moses said in
Psalms 90:4
that 1000 years was as one day
in the sight of
Elohim. As time passed, the Spirit of Truth revealed that there
was a corresponding theme between each of the seven millennial days of mankind's
history and the seven Hebrew Days in the creation sequence. On Day One of
creation, on the first day of the week on Yom Ri-shon, light was separated from
darkness, and in the first millennium Adam's sin separated him from Elohim's light. On
the second day, on Yom She-ni, there was a separation of the waters above and
below, and in the second millennium, the waters above and below were used in judgment.
On the third day, on Yom Shli-shi, plants yielding seed were created, and in the
third millennium a promise was made to Abraham, that through his seed -
 יהושע
the Messiah - all the nations of the earth would be blessed.
On the fourth day on Yom Re-vi-i the lights in heaven were created, and in the
fourth millennium kings and prophets were given as lights to Israel and
 יהושע
the
Messiah was born. On the fifth day on Yom Ham-i-shi living creatures were created,
and in the fifth millennium
 יהושע
the Messiah died that we might become new creatures inheriting eternal life.
On the sixth day on Yom Shi-shi man was told to fill the earth and subdue it,
and in the sixth millennium man has filled the earth and subdued it. Man has even
travelled to outer space. On the seventh day on Sha-bat Elohim rested, and in the
seventh millennium the earth will be restored and man will rest in the Millennial
Sabbath which is the Age of Life or the Millennial Kingdom. Peter
said in
2 Peter 3:8
not to be ignorant of this one thing - with
 יהוה
one
day is as 1000 years and 1000 years is as one day.
The 7000 Year Plan of Elohim
The heavens and the earth were created to be perfect by Elohim
(Genesis 1:1).
The time when the universe was perfect, is known as The World that Was in Hebraic
thought. A spiritual rebellion led by Satan caused the earth to become desolate and
ruined
(Genesis 1:2).
Elohim judged
this rebellion by separating light / righteousness from darkness / wickedness
(Genesis 1:3).
This judgment initiated the creation of the physical universe and The
Present Age in which mankind is striving with Elohim. The Present Age contains
three smaller ages: the Age of Desolation, the Age of Instruction and the Age of
the Messiah.
 יהוה
told Noah that after 120 Jubilee Years He would not strive with
man
(Genesis 6:3).
At Year 6000 redeemed mankind will be granted immortality. The
Millennial Kingdom begins in Year 6001. The universe will be perfect again at The
World to Come at the end of Year 7000 when Satan and his followers will be cast into
the Lake of Fire.
In the Creation Calendar, there are 12 Hebrew Hours of equal duration between
sunset and sunrise, and 12 Hebrew Hours of equal duration between
sunrise and sunset. Hebrew Days begin and end at the moment of sunset. Hebrew
Months begin when the moon's crescent first becomes potentially visible to the
naked eye in Jerusalem, and are numbered from 1
to 12 in a regular year, or from 1 to 13 in a leap
year. Hebrew Years are based on the seasons which are determined
by the position of the earth in relation to the sun at the equinoxes and
solstices. Hebrew Years are determined by the rule of the equinox
which always places Day 15 of Month 1 on or after
the Hebrew Day of the spring equinox.
The Scriptures teach in
Exodus 12:1-2
that a Spiritual Year begins in
Month 1 in late winter or early spring.
The Scriptures teach in
Leviticus 25:8-10
that a Civil Year begins in
Month 7 in late summer or early fall.
There are three types of Civil Years color coded in the Creation Calendar. In the
50 Year Jubilee Cycle, a Sabbatical Year occurs every seventh year and is
colored blue, and the fiftieth Jubilee Year in the Jubilee Cycle is colored
purple. A regular Civil Year is neither a Sabbatical nor a
Jubilee Year and is tan colored.
The special Jubilee Year begins on Day 10 of Month 7 on
Yom Kippur according to
Leviticus 25:9
and
Ezekiel 40:1.
All other Civil Years begin on Day 1 of Month 7 on Yom Teruah.
As the Jubilee Year governs all Civil Years in the
Jubilee Cycle, all Civil Years must begin in Month 7 in
late summer or early fall.

In the Beginning
The spiritual universe was created and existed before
the physical universe was created. The order in the spiritual
universe was threatened when Satan led a spiritual rebellion of angels
causing a disruption of the world. Elohim cast these rebellious angels
into the abyss and they will be judged at the end of 7000 years according
to
2 Peter 2:4
and
Jude 1:6.
The disruption of the world
initiated the creation of the physical universe. Elohim created the
dimension of time in the physical universe to indicate
when the order in His universe would be restored, and
when the universe would be perfected.
The universe was perfect before the disruption of the world
in the prototypical Jubilee Year 0. This time is known as Olam She'avar
or The World that Was. It is for this reason that the Jubilee Year is a
concept connected with the original, perfected state in which Elohim created the
world and intended it to exist. As
Leviticus 25:8-11
indicates the Jubilee Year is on a 50 year cycle, it follows logically
that the restoration of the universe that occurs after 6000 years
in the Age of Life will occur in Jubilee Year 120. And
 יהוה
truly said in
Genesis 6:3
that He would not strive with man after
120 Jubilee Years. Consequently, the
perfection of the universe that occurs after 7000 years in
Olam Haba or The World to Come is linked with Jubilee Year 140 in
Hebraic thought.
The Year of Jubilee - The Restoration of All Things
The Jubilee Year became important to the children of Israel during the
Age of Instruction. The first time Moses descended with the 10 commandments,
the children of Israel were found worshipping a golden calf. Israel was given a
second chance with Elohim when Moses descended with the 10 commandments
a second time on Yom Kippur beginning Jubilee Year 51. The instruction
to count the Jubilee Year was ultimately given for the purpose of
instructing mankind on when the restoration
of the universe in Jubilee Year 120, and subsequent perfection
of the universe in Jubilee Year 140, would occur.
The Jubilee Year represents the restoration of law, order, justice, peace,
freedom, prosperity and harmony in the universe - or the restoration of all
things in Hebraic thought. The Messiah said in
Matthew 17:10-13
that the
restoration of all things was linked with the coming of Elijah. Peter
prophesied in
Acts 3:19-23
that the heavens would receive the Messiah of Israel
until the time of the restoration of all things or
Jubilee Year 120.
At this time
 יהושע
the Messiah of Israel will return and
save all of those who hear Him. Those who
do not hear Him will be destroyed. This will occur during
the Day of
 יהוה
in Year 6000 before the Age of Life to fulfill the
word of
 יהוה
in
Deuteronomy 18:15-19.
The perfection of the
universe occurs when Satan and his followers are cast into the Lake of Fire in
Jubilee Year 140 according to
Revelation 20:7-9.
The World that Was - The Time Before Time
The time between the foundation of the world in the
spiritual universe, and Day One of the physical
universe is referred to as Olam She'avar or The World that Was
in Hebraic thought. In terms of the 7000 Year Plan of Elohim, the
theoretical epoch (reference date) for the creation of the
spiritual universe on the proleptic (retro-calculated) Creation Calendar
is sunset in Jerusalem beginning
Yom Re-vi-i (the fourth day of the week) on Day 1 of Month 1 which
is the first day in Spiritual Year 1. This moment is equivalent to
15:41 [±30 minutes] Universal Time on
Tuesday, April 11, 3986 B.C.E.
on the proleptic Julian calendar.
It was at this moment, in the midst of Jubilee
Year 0, that the heavens and earth were created according to
Genesis 1:1.
Everything in the spiritual universe, including the angels and the
souls of all people, were created before the time of the
ages according
to
2 Timothy 1:8-11,
Titus 1:1-3
and
Jude 1:6.
This time in history
is referred to as Olam She'avar or The World that Was in Hebraic thought.
This was when the foundation of the earth was laid according to
Job 38:4,
Psalms 102:25,
Isaiah 48:13,
Zechariah 12:1
and
Hebrews 1:10.
Olam She'avar is referred to as the time before the
disruption of the world in
John 17:24
and
1 Peter 1:17-21.
The
children of Elohim were chosen during Olam She'avar before the disruption
of the world according to
Ephesians 1:3-6.
 יהוה
told Noah He would not strive with man throughout all the ages in
Genesis 6:3,
and in
Isaiah 57:15-16,
He gives the reason why.
 יהוה
said that He will not strive through all the ages, but will revive the
spirits of the humble and the contrite (a reference to the resurrection
of the righteous in Year 6000) because, "the Spirit would grow faint before Me,
and the souls which I have made." These words have been interpreted
to mean that the souls of all people existed before the physical
universe was created.
In Paul's mind, Elohim created the souls of all mankind at the
beginning of Olam She'avar before the disruption of the world and
the creation of the physical universe. This is how Paul understood that the children
of Elohim could be chosen before the disruption of the world in
Ephesians 1:3-6.
Paul understood that there is a place in heaven where the
souls of the unborn are kept, until it is time for them to be conceived. For this
reason, it has been taught that the Son of David will not come and the Age of Life
will not begin, until every soul that Elohim has created has been implanted in an embryo.
One of the reasons procreation is so important in Hebraic thought, is the belief that
it will eventually result in the ultimate deliverance of mankind. The first commandment
of the Scriptures in
Genesis 1:28
is to be fruitful and multiply. All souls must
be given a physical body (an embryo), before the Messiah returns and
the Age of Life begins. And before the Age of Life begins, every
redeemed soul which Elohim has made will be granted an
immortal body according to
1 Corinthians 15:54.
The redeemed are given immortal bodies in the Age of Life,
as the Messiah said in
Luke 20:34-38,
that those who
were considered worthy of taking part in the age to come, would not marry or be given
in marriage, for they would be "equal to the angels."
During Olam She'avar or The World that Was everything in the universe was
perfect as every spiritual being lovingly served Elohim. At the end of
Olam She'avar the earth became desolate and ruined and darkness was on
the face of the deep according to
Genesis 1:2.
This chaotic darkness refers to
the rebellion of Satan and the evil angels as mentioned in
Jude 1:6.
The Hebrew
word used for desolate in
Genesis 1:2
is tohū
 תהו
which is the name given to the age that is defined by its epoch - the Age of Tohu
or the Age of Desolation.
The Disruption of the World - The Satanic Rebellion
At the moment Satan and the evil angels rebelled - they were cast out of heaven and
there was a separation between light and darkness in the
spiritual universe. This rebellion caused a
disruption of the world. The separation of light from darkness was a
separation between righteousness and wickedness in the spiritual universe,
as the lights in the physical universe had not yet been created. Paul
said there were children of light and children of darkness in
1 Thessalonians 5:1-5.
 יהושע
the Messiah advised everyone to believe in Him and to become
children of light in
John 12:36.
The separation of light from darkness, or the fall of Satan, is described by Elohim
in
Genesis 1:3-5.
Isaiah compared the fall of Satan with the fall of the king
of Babylon in
Isaiah 14:12-15.
Ezekiel used the king of Tyre as a metaphor for
Satan in
Ezekiel 28:11-19.
The expulsion of Satan from heaven is told again
from the perspective of
 יהושע
the Messiah in
Luke 10:18.
The expulsion of
Satan from heaven initiated the creation of the physical universe at
sunset beginning Day 1 of Month 7 in Spiritual Year 1.
The Creation of the Universe
The Seven Day Creation Sequence
Spiritual
Universe
Created
Physical Universe Created
Before the universe was created there was Elohim
(John 17:5).
In the beginning Elohim created the spiritual universe on Day 1 of Month 1 in Spiritual
Year 1 in the midst of the prototypical Jubilee Year 0
(Genesis 1:1).
The World that Was
perfect for 179 days
was disrupted in a satanic rebellion in which the world
became desolate and ruined
(Genesis 1:2).
At this moment, light was separated from darkness on Day 1 of
Month 7 in Civil Year 1
(Genesis 1:3).
Elohim created the physical universe during the
seven day creation sequence, initiating the first Jubilee Cycle, The Present Age and the
Age of Desolation. The countdown to the end of the ages commenced at Day 1 of the
creation of the physical universe.
The Creation Calendar's epoch (reference date) for the creation of the
physical universe is sunset in Jerusalem beginning Yom Ri-shon
(the first day of the week) on Day 1 of Month 7 which is
the first day in Civil Year 1.
This moment is equivalent to 16:05 [± 30 minutes] Universal
Time on
Saturday, October 7, 3986 B.C.E.
on the proleptic (retro-calculated)
Julian calendar.
The first Jubilee Cycle commenced at this moment when Elohim separated
light from darkness according to
Genesis 1:3-5.
This moment represents the
birth of the world. One of the many names given to Day 1 of Month 7
in Hebraic thought is Hayom Harat Olam
 היום הרת עולם
or The Birthday of the World.
The birth of the physical universe occurred when Elohim judged a
rebellion of Satan who is the prince of this world who was a murderer who sinned
from the beginning according to
John 8:44,
John 12:31,
14:30,
16:7-11
and
1 John 3:8.
Satan's rebellion resulted in a disruption of the world that
is mentioned in
Matthew 13:33-35,
25:34,
Luke 11:49-51,
Hebrews 4:3,
9:26,
Revelation 13:8
and
Revelation 17:8.
The word for disruption (katabolē
καταβολη)
is often mistranslated
as foundation. The verb kataballō
καταβαλλω
means casting
down or overthrow as can be seen in
2 Corinthians 4:8-10.
Accordingly, the noun katabolē
καταβολη,
derived from and cognate with the verb kataballō
καταβαλλω
ought to be translated disruption or ruin.
The disruption or ruin of the world occurred at the time it was
tohū va-bohū
 תהו ובהו
which has been translated in
Genesis 1:2
as formless and void.
These words
tohū va-bohū
 תהו ובהו
are more accurately translated as desolate and ruined. The
disruption of the world occurred when the earth became
desolate and ruined from Satan's rebellion.
The Midrash Rabbah 2.4 interprets the Spirit of Elohim hovering over the face of
the waters as being the Spirit of Messiah, and further links the Spirit of
 יהוה
in
Isaiah 11:1-2
as resting on the Messiah.
At the moment of the disruption, Elohim initiated the seven day
creation sequence and The Present Age and the Age of Desolation.
The Seven Day Creation Sequence
Satan's Rebellion
Disruption of the World
Souls of all People
and the Angels
are Created
Bodies of Adam
and Chavvah
are Created
The account of the creation of the world is told in
Genesis 1:1.
The account of the
disruption of the world which happened six months later is told
in
Genesis 1:2.
At the moment the disruption occurred, Elohim
judged this satanic rebellion when He initiated the seven day creation sequence.
The story of
the creation sequence is told in the order it happened in
Genesis 1:3-2:3.
Certain details from the first five days are told in
Genesis 2:4-6.
Certain details
of the sixth day in the Garden of Eden are told in
Genesis 2:7-25.
The souls of all people were created on Day 1 of Month 1, while the bodies of Adam and
Chavvah were created a little more than six months later on Day 6 of Month 7.
There are several accounts of the seven day creation sequence of
the physical universe.
Genesis 1:3-2:3
tells the entire story
in the order it happened.
Genesis 2:4-6
recounts events from the first five
days of creation and gives details of the mist that arose from the ground to water
the earth before Elohim caused it to rain.
Genesis 2:7-25
gives details of
events that happened in the Garden of Eden on the sixth day of creation.
The tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and other trees
that were pleasant to the eye and good for food were created in the Garden of Eden
on the sixth day
(Genesis 2:9).
The rest of the world was full
of trees before this on the third day
(Genesis 1:11-13).
Birds
were created from the ground in the Garden of Eden on the
sixth day for man to name
(Genesis 2:19).
Birds were created
from water before this on the fifth day
(Genesis 1:20-23)
Some animals were created in the Garden of Eden on the sixth
day to be named by man after man was created
(Genesis 2:19-20).
Some animals were created on the sixth day before man was created
(Genesis 1:24-25).
As some animals, birds and trees were created in the Garden
of Eden after man was created, man became a witness to
Elohim's creative acts.
At the creation of the spiritual universe on Day 1 of
Month 1 in Year 1, the angels and the souls of all the
people who have ever lived, or are yet to be born, were created. Six days after the
disruption of the world on Day 1 of Month 7 in
Year 1, the physical body of Adam was formed from the earth on
Day 6 of Month 7 in Year 1. The physical body of
Chavvah was formed from Adam's rib on this day. When Elohim breathed into Adam's
nostrils, Adam's soul was joined to his body and he became
a living soul
(Genesis 2:7).
Adam and Chavvah are the father and mother of mankind, and all
people living on earth today can trace their genetic heritage back to them. Every
person's physical body descends from Adam and Chavvah's
physical bodies.
Age of Desolation to the Age of Instruction
The end of the Age of Desolation initiated the Age of Instruction on Day 1 of Month 1
in Spiritual Year 2001. The Age of Desolation began when the earth became desolate
and ruined
(Genesis 1:2).
During this age Adam and Chavvah were driven out of the Garden
of Eden
(Genesis 3:1-24),
a global flood further destroyed the earth during Noah's
time
(Genesis 7:1-8:22),
and a global dispersion of people occurred after the languages
of mankind were confused at the Tower of Babel
(Genesis 11:1-9).
However, there was
hope for mankind when Elohim made a covenant with Noah
(Genesis 9:8-17),
and when Abram
was born at the end of the Age of Desolation
(Genesis 11:26).
The transition between
the Age of Desolation and the Age of Instruction occurred in the midst of Jubilee
Year 40.
The Creation Calendar's epoch (reference date) for the transition from the
Age of Desolation to the Age of Instruction is sunset beginning
Yom Re-vi-i (the fourth day of the week) on
Day 1 of Month 1
which is the first day in Spiritual Year 2001.
This moment is equivalent
to 15:50 [± 20 minutes] Universal Time on
Tuesday, April 10, 1986 B.C.E.
on the proleptic (retro-calculated) Julian calendar.
As Moses received the tôrâh
 תורה
or
instructions from Mount Sinai during this age, it is named the
Age of Torah or the Age of Instruction. All the prophets from Elijah to Malachi lived in this
age, and
 יהושע
the Messiah was born at the end of this age
(Hebrews 9:26).
David knew during the Age of Instruction that his soul would not
be abandoned in Sheol at the first death
(Psalms 16:10).
Sheol, which is often
translated as the grave, is a place where thinking and awareness ceases
(Psalms 6:5,
Ecclesiastes 9:5),
where there is no working or planning or
knowledge or wisdom
(Ecclesiastes 9:10)
or hope
(Isaiah 38:18).
In almost
all cases, the future outcome of an individual soul has been decided at
the first death. In some special cases, people such as Lazarus have been raised to
life after the first death, thereby having their temporal mortal lives extended in
The Present Age.
Age of Instruction to the Age of the Messiah
The end of the Age of Instruction initiated the Age of the Messiah on Day 1 of Month 1
in Spiritual Year 4001. It was during the Age of Instruction that the Creator established
His covenant with mankind through Abraham
(Genesis 12:1-9,
13:14-17,
15:1-21,
17:1-27,
22:1-18),
Isaac
(Genesis 26:1-5,
26:23-25),
Jacob
(Genesis 28:10-22,
35:9-15),
Moses
(Exodus 19:16-24:3),
and David
(Psalms 89:3-4,
89:19-37).
Many prophets were sent
to Israel during this age, and the Messiah was ultimately born at the end of the Age of
Instruction
(Matthew 1:18-25,
Luke 2:6-7,
Hebrews 9:26).
Isaiah prophesied that the children
of Israel would be taught by
 יהוה
(Isaiah 54:13),
and that is exactly what happened during the Age of
the Messiah. The Messiah taught in parables, and then renewed the
covenant with mankind by giving His life for all who will believe and obey Him
(Jeremiah 31:31-34,
Hebrews 8:8-12).
The transition between the Age of Instruction and
the Age of the Messiah occurred in the midst of Jubilee Year 80.
The Creation Calendar's epoch (reference date) for the transition from the
Age of Instruction to the Age of the Messiah is sunset beginning
Yom She-ni (the second day of the week) on
Day 1 of Month 1
which is the first day in Spiritual Year 4001.
This moment is equivalent
to 15:43 [± 10 minutes] Universal Time on
Sunday, March 10, 15 C.E.
on the proleptic (retro-calculated) Julian calendar.
 יהושע
the Messiah came as
the Redeemer at the beginning of the Age of the Messiah
(Luke 24:21,
Galatians 4:4-5,
Titus 2:11-14).
He returns as
Saviour of the world at the end of this age
(John 4:42,
1 John 4:14).
His work at both the beginning and end of this age, give this age its name.
The Age of the Messiah - The Last Days
Yemot Mashiach, the Age of the Messiah, takes place during the fifth and sixth millennial days
in the 7000 Year Plan of Elohim. These last two millennial days
are called the last days in Scripture. This critical point has been
misunderstood by many who have not understood these days to be millennial days. There
are many fascinating prophecies about the last days or the Age of
the Messiah.
Jacob prophesied about the last days in
Genesis 49:1,
Balaam prophesied about them in
Numbers 24:14,
and Moses prophesied about them in
Deuteronomy 4:30-31
and
31:29.
Isaiah spoke of them in
Isaiah 2:2,
and Jeremiah spoke of them in
Jeremiah 23:20,
30:24,
48:47
and
49:39.
Ezekiel spoke of
them in
Ezekiel 38:16,
and Daniel spoke of them in
Daniel 2:28
and
10:14.
Hosea spoke of them in
Hosea 3:5,
Joel spoke of them in
Joel 2:28-32
and Micah spoke of them in
Micah 4:1.
Paul spoke of them in
2 Timothy 3:1,
the writer of Hebrews
spoke of them in
Hebrews 1:1-2,
and James spoke of them in
James 5:3.
Peter
quoted Joel about these days in
Acts 2:17-21,
and also referred to them in
2 Peter 3:1-4.
It was during the Age of the Messiah that the Messiah raised Lazarus from
the dead. The disciples were confused when the Messiah told them Lazarus was
sleeping, until He explained to them that Lazarus was dead
(John 11:11-15).
The Messiah taught a parable in which a beggar went to
Abraham's bosom, while a rich man went to a place of torment
(Luke 16:19-31).
 יהושע
the Messiah taught in parables in order to reveal truth to the spiritually enlightened,
while concealing truth from the spiritually blind
(Mark 4:11-12,
Luke 8:10),
thereby fulfilling the prophecy of
Isaiah 6:9-10.
The parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus is an allegory in which the Messiah used
symbolic language to condemn false teachers, false shepherds and the merciless
rich - represented in the parable by the Pharisees
(Luke 16:14).
The parable teaches that the decisions a person makes in The Present Age have
lasting implications for the resurrection one will experience in the Future Age,
also known as the Age of Life or the Millennial Kingdom.
After death there is no
opportunity for a person to change the outcome.
The Resurrection of the Righteous and the Damned
The parable teaches that after death there are only two possibilities: the resurrection
of the righteous or the resurrection of the damned. In
Pharisaical thought, it was possible for two people who knew each other in life, to
hold conversations after death (even though in reality this is impossible).
The rich man was an upper class Pharisee, and Lazarus was
(from a Pharisaical perspective) in a class with the dogs or the Gentiles.
In Pharisaical thought, Abraham's bosom was a place where those of the
faith of Abraham are gathered after death. The name Lazarus (Eleazar) was used for the
beggar because it means El has helped. In the end, Lazarus attains to the
resurrection of the righteous and Abraham's bosom - the
Age of Life, while the rich Pharisee attains to the resurrection of the
damned and a place of torment - the Lake of Fire. This
parable is a stiff indictment against all false teachers, false shepherds and the
merciless rich.
Paul said during the Age of the Messiah that a person has a spirit,
soul and body
(1 Thessalonians 5:23).
Ever since Adam
and Chavvah were created, a living soul comes into being when a physical
body is formed in the womb and joined to its soul which
existed from Day 1 of Month 1 in Year 1
(Jeremiah 1:5).
At
the first death, the body returns to dust
(Genesis 3:19),
the
spirit returns to Elohim
(Luke 23:46,
Acts 7:59),
and the
soul is said to fall asleep
(Deuteronomy 31:16,
2 Samuel 7:12,
1 Kings 1:21,

and

The Scriptures teach that while the body turns to dust at the first death,
the spirit returns to Elohim and the soul rests.
A person's soul does not go to heaven or hell at death, but rests, waiting
to be re-united with a new body which will either inherit the
Age of Life at the end of Year 6000, or the Lake of Fire at the
end of Year 7000. Just before he died, Daniel was told that he
would rest, and then arise to receive his inheritance at
the end of days
(Daniel 12:13)
which is a reference to the Future Age
also known as the Age of Life
(Daniel 12:2).
The souls of all the people that have died in
The Present Age will arise at either the first resurrection of the
righteous, or the second resurrection of the damned. These
are the only two possibilities according to the Scriptures
(Daniel 12:2,
John 5:28-29,
Acts 24:15).
When
 יהושע
the Messiah was being crucified beside a criminal, He truly said that day,
that the criminal would be with Him in Paradise or the Age of Life
(Luke 23:43).
The Messiah did not tell the man that he would be
with Him in Paradise that day, although the man's spirit
would have been with Elohim that day. For the Messiah said that no one
other than Himself has ever gone to heaven
(John 3:13).
When Paul said that to be
absent from the body was to be present with
 יהוה
- he was speaking of the spirit
(2 Corinthians 5:8).
Paul believed
that the spirit could be in or out of the
body
(2 Corinthians 12:1-4).
He told the Colossians that while he was absent from
them in the body, he was with them in spirit
(Colossians 2:5).
Throughout the Age of Desolation and the Age of Instruction, a
mystery was hidden that was revealed during the Age of the Messiah. More
than 4000 years after the disruption of the world and the
seven day creation sequence, Paul understood a mystery hidden since
the time of the ages began
(Romans 16:25-27).
The revealed
mystery was that Gentiles, who turned away from their idolatry,
could be joined to the commonwealth of Israel through
 יהושע
the Messiah
(Ephesians 3:1-7).
They would no longer be regarded as strangers and
foreigners, but as fellow citizens of the household of Elohim
(Ephesians 2:19).
The restoration of the commonwealth of Israel will be
complete before the Age of Life or the Millennial Kingdom begins.
At the resurrection of the righteous in Year 6000, a resurrected
person's soul will be permanently joined to a new
spiritual body
(1 Corinthians 15:42-54).
The righteous that are
alive and remaining in their mortal physical bodies at the time of the
resurrection of the righteous will be clothed with immortal
spiritual bodies. Paul longed to be clothed with his
spiritual body and to be absent from his physical body
(2 Corinthians 5:1-8).
 יהושע
the Messiah, who is the firstfruits of all who believe and obey Elohim
(1 Corinthians 15:20-23),
was in His spiritual body after His
resurrection
(Luke 24:36-43).
Spiritual Year 6000 is the last year in the Age of the Messiah
and this year is also known as the Day of
 יהוה
(Isaiah 34:8,
61:2,
63:4).
During this year, those who believe and obey
 יהושע
the Messiah will be saved
(Matthew 24:31,
1 Thessalonians 4:15-18).
The Day of
 יהוה
is a year of Elohim's vengeance in which the earth will be destroyed by fire. During
the end of this year, Elohim
will pour out seven vials of wrath on all of those who could not
receive a love of the truth
(Revelation 16:1-21,
2 Thessalonians 2:1-12).
The seven vials of wrath conclude the Age of the Messiah
which initiates the Future Age or the Age of Life.
Age of the Messiah to the Age of Life
Times of the Gentiles are Fulfilled (Luke 21:24)
The Earth is Destroyed by Fire by this time
Elohim gathers all things under Messiah
Resurrection of the Righteous
The end of The Present Age and the Age of the Messiah initiates the
Age of Life or the Millennial Kingdom on Day 1 of Month 1 in Spiritual Year 6001.
Before the kingdom comes, the righteous dead are to be awakened by the sound of a shofar
in Month 7 of Year 6000
(1 Corinthians 15:52).
The mistakes made by the Israelites in the Exodus from Egypt, were written to instruct
the faithful who are alive and remaining at the end of the age -
The Present Age and the Age of the Messiah
(1 Corinthians 10:1-12).
When
 יהושע
the Messiah was last on earth at the beginning of the Age of the Messiah,
He said that He would always be with those who believe and obey Him - even to the
end of the age
(Matthew 28:19-20).
The marriage of the Lamb will take place in the first seven
days of the Age of Life.
The transition from the Age of the Messiah to the Age of Life occurs in the midst of
Jubilee Year 120.
The Creation Calendar's epoch (reference date) for the beginning of the
Age of Life or the Future Age
or the Millennial Kingdom is sunset in Jerusalem beginning
Yom Ri-shon (the first day of the week) on Day 1 of Month 1 which
is the first day in Spiritual Year 6001.
This moment is equivalent to 15:51 Universal Time on
Saturday, March 21, 2015 C.E.
on the Gregorian calendar.
At this time the marriage
of the Lamb begins according to
Revelation 19:6-9.
In
John 2:1-11,
 יהושע
the Messiah alluded to the idea that the
marriage of the Lamb will occur after six millennial
days are filled to the brim. It was at Cana that the Messiah turned
water into wine at a marriage after six waterpots were
filled to the brim. This first public miracle of
 יהושע
the Messiah is deeply prophetic, as it convinced the disciples that
 יהושע
was the Messiah who would rule in the Millennial Kingdom at the
end of 6000 years of mankind's history. The first six millennial days
of mankind's history are further grouped into three ages: the
Age of Desolation, the Age of Instruction and the
Age of the Messiah.
The End of the Age
These three ages are compared to three measures of meal by
 יהושע
the Messiah. The Messiah taught in
Matthew 13:33
and
Luke 13:20-21
that
during these three ages, which form the whole of The
Present Age since the disruption of the world, the kingdom of Elohim
on earth has been leavened with spiritual, moral and political corruption.
However, the Messiah will cleanse the earth from sin
before the Age of Life begins according to
Deuteronomy 32:22-29,
Malachi 4:1-6
and
Matthew 3:8-12.
After experiencing some final tribulation, mankind will come to the end of the
Age of the Messiah. The Messiah said He would be with those who believe
and obey Him even to the end of the Age of the Messiah in
Matthew 28:18-20.
Paul said in
Ephesians 1:7-10
that in the
fullness of time in Spiritual Year 6001, Elohim will gather all
things together under the Messiah in the Age of Life.
The Age of Life will begin with the marriage of the
Lamb which will last for seven days according to
Isaiah 30:26.
The marriage of the Lamb at the beginning of the Age of Life will mark the
fulfillment of the prophecy in
Daniel 9:24.
At this time the Messiah will reign
until He has put all His enemies under His feet according to
1 Corinthians 15:25.
The Age of Life is often translated in Scripture as eternal life
and is commonly known as the Millennial Kingdom.
The Age of Life or Chayei Olam
 חיי עולם
is mentioned in
Daniel 12:2
as the time when the righteous are resurrected.
 יהוה
commanded the Age of Life as a blessing in
Psalms 133.
The Age of Life is referred to in the Messianic Scriptures as
Zōē Aiōnios
ζωη αιωνιος and
translated eternal life.
Peter said that the Messiah had the words of the Age of Life in
John 6:66-68.
The Age of Life will last for exactly
1000 years which is why it is also called the Millennial Kingdom in
Revelation 20:1-8.
 יהושע
the Messiah referred to the kingdom as
paradise in
Luke 23:42-43.
Paul mentions paradise once in
2 Corinthians 12:1-4,
and John mentions it once in
Revelation 2:7.
Resurrection of the damned
Great White Throne Judgment
The damned cast into the Lake of Fire
New Heavens and a New Earth
New Jerusalem descends from Heaven
The Perfected Eternal State - Revelation 21 & 22
The End of the 7000 Year Plan of Elohim - Luke 22:37
The resurrection of the damned occurs at the end of the Millennial Kingdom at
sunset ending
Day 29 of Month 12 at the end of
Year 7000 in the midst of Jubilee
Year 140. The damned come against Jerusalem and are swiftly judged by the presence of
Elohim on a great white throne
(Revelation 20:11).
Satan, Death, Hades and whoever is not found in the
Book of Life are cast into the Lake of Fire which is the Second Death. The end of the
Future Age initiates The World to Come or the Eternal State of the universe.
The end of the Age of Life or the Millennial Kingdom will occur
in Jerusalem at sunset
ending Yom She-ni (the second day of the week) on Day 29 of Month
12 which is the last day in Spiritual Year 7000. This moment is equivalent
to 15:44 [± 5 minutes] Universal Time on
Monday, March 13, 3015 C.E.
on the Gregorian calendar.
At this moment the damned are resurrected according to
Daniel 12:2,
John 5:28-29,
Acts 24:15
and
Revelation 20:5.
At the resurrection of the damned at the end of Year 7000, a
damned person's spirit will be joined with a new body. The
Messiah said to fear Him who could throw both soul and body
into the Lake of Fire
(Matthew 10:28).
The damned will be cast into the Lake of
Fire at the second death
(Revelation 21:8).
During the Age of Life, Satan is bound for 1000 years according
to
Revelation 20:2.
At the end of the seventh millennium, Satan and the resurrected damned
come against Jerusalem, when fire comes from Elohim and
devours them according to
Revelation 20:7-9.
A great white throne then descends from heaven and all those whose names are not found
in the Book of Life are cast into the Lake of Fire, which is the second death according
to
Revelation 20:10-15.
At this time the Messiah delivers the kingdom to Elohim the Father, that Elohim
may be in every way supreme according to
1 Corinthians 15:24-28.
The universe is perfected when New Jerusalem descends from heaven.
The nations that are saved will walk in the light of New Jerusalem
according to
Revelation 21:24.
These are those who do the commandments of Elohim as written in
Revelation 22:14.
The Immortality of the Righteous
The Scriptures make it clear in
Revelation 2:11
that those who overcome in
The Present Age and inherit the Age of Life, will not be hurt by the
second death.
The resurrected righteous who inherit the Age of Life will also not be hurt by
the second death according to
Revelation 20:6.
For
 יהושע
the Messiah truly said that if anyone kept His sayings they would never
experience death in this age - the Age of Life
(John 8:51).
The immortality of any child of Elohim who attains to the Age of Life is secure
and they continue living for eternity in The World to Come.
Olam Haba or The World to Come or the Eternal State represents
the perfection of the universe when all things are made new according to
Revelation 21:1-22:21.
The new heavens and new earth in The World to Come are different than the
new heavens and new earth in the Future Age. Suspended above the new earth
in The World to Come will be New
Jerusalem - a city with walls of transparent gold according to
Revelation 21:10-27.
Where the Future Age has seas according to
Ezekiel 47:1-12,
the
eternal earth in The World to Come will not have a sea as written in
Revelation 21:1.
The World to Come or the Eternal State begins on Yom Shli-shi
(the third day of the week). On every day of the six days of creation Elohim said it
was good. However, on Yom Shli-shi (the third day of creation) Elohim said
it was good two times - making it an extra special day
(Genesis 1:9-13).
This is
because He knew that His perfect plan would be fulfilled at The World To Come
on this extra special day on Yom Shli-shi (the third day of the week).
The 7000 Year Plan of Elohim takes 2,556,700 days to complete. The
completion of these days will fulfill the saying of
 יהושע
the Messiah in
Luke 22:37,
"The things concerning Me have an end."
