Understanding Thousand years

 

1000 years in Hebrew is Alaph Shanah

Psa 90:4 For a thousand years (Alaph Shanah אלפ שנה) in Your eyes Are like yesterday (yom ethmol יום אתמול) that has past (abar עבר), Or like a watch (Shamar שמר) in the night.

The Alaph אלפ had the potential to make Shanah שנה: two/ double /exchange one for another.

Be fruitful and multiply was the command to make twice of what Adam was.

But due to sin ruling in his body the Alaph אלפ was unable to create a double spiritually to be led or lead his kind beyond into being eternal. He was powerless to exchange his life for eternal life. For reference, please look at the paleo Hebrew words above.

And here is another word picture shown in paleo Hebrew above.

And if you see the word shenah שנה שנא H8142 also means sleep. So, the Alaph slept as in death, falling short. Ha Shatan held captive the seed in fear of death as wages of sin is death. 

Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the favorable gift of Elohim is everlasting life in Messiah יהושע our Master. 

Hence, none of the fathers were capable to touch or go beyond the alaph shanah אלפ שנה (1000 years).

Therefore, there was a need for another Alaph who would be able to exchange His life with us to help us go beyond the 1000 years.

We know that the longest to live was Methuselah, who lived 969 years. The degradation due to sin brought mankind’s life span to 70 years.

Psa 90:10 The days of our lives are seventy/shabayam שבעים years/shanah שנה H8141; Or if due to strength, gabar גבר H1369 eighty/ שמנים H8084 years/shanah שנה H8141, Yet the best of them is but toil and exertion; For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

The number eight comes from the word shemen שמן H8081 and H8082 which means anoint/fat/oil/plenteous.

Hence, the prevailing warrior (gabar גבר) could maximum attain the earthy anointing denoted by 80 years while others would die in the seven declarations of mortal breath brought under the Torah of sin and death.

Remember Yahuah breathed into Adam’s nostrils the breath of LIVES/chayim חים which is plural and translated as 'breath of lives'.

Gen 2:7 And יהוה Elohim formed the man out of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostril's breath of lives/chayim חים. And the man became a living being.

The word seventy in Hebrew is שׁבעים H7657 (Psalms 90:10) which has the word שבע shaba which means seven oaths.

The life span was reduced to seven oaths / declarations made for Adam who in his kind could only give us mortal breath as we picked up our mortal breath from him at birth into this world. For in Adam all die. There was a need for someone to deliver those contained within the perimeters of this time span to take us beyond.

And He had to be that someone who ALONE had the power to do so. Hence, when we see Psalms 90:4 we see Yahuah is the only one who can deliver as the Alaph Shanah אךפ שנה was in His eyes as yom ethmol יום אתמול

Psa 90:4 For a thousand years (Alaph Shanah אלפ שנה) in Your eyes Are like yesterday (yom ethmol יום אתמול ) that has past (abar עבר), Or like a watch (Shamar שמר) in the night.

Yom יום:

Yom is translated as day, but it also means a continual/daily.

Ethmol/Ethmal אתמול / אתמל:

Ethmol אתמול / אתמל is an age passed or time elapsed and has three root words in it :

Alaph Tau את and mul מול circumcise, and mal מל which means speak/word.

Yahuah would do something from the time elapsed but not for Him as He is beyond time, and He takes us to Genesis 1 to understand this which we will see a bit later.

Yom ethmol is a continual time elapse that will cross over (abar עבר ) denoted by Alaph shanah אלפ שנה. Someone who Himself holds the past to bring it forward into the future.

OR like a shamar שמר in the night. Shamar שמר means guard or keep or oversee.

Yahuah Himself keeps a guard over the night/ darkness. No one in among mankind would be able to do this and shatan was celebrating victory over Yahuah’s supreme creation ie.man as he was tied to his mortality leading him and his kindred to death. The word tied is asaru which means By Decree.

And he was loosed for a short season when the thousand years were completed it says:

Rev 20:3 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 years should be completed מלאת: and after that he must be loosed a little season. 

And the word malath מלאת translated as completed is an exact opposite of ethmol אתמל or אתמול 

It’s clear that if Ethmol/Ethmal אתמול אתמל is a continual time elapse, it points to Yahuah who as alaph tau את would take a finite position in creation to be face to face with His creation as the first and the last as seen in alaph being the first letter in Hebrew and tau the last letter in Hebrew.

The circumcision מול made without hands and the words He uttered by decree denoted by mal מל, it will now come fore front denoted by completed in Rev 20:3 as it says until the thousand years were completed/ malath מלאת which spiritually means brought to light. It was Yahusha who brought immortality to light.

2Ti 1:10 but now revealed by the appearing of our Saviour יהושע Messiah, who indeed abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News,

Ethmal vs malath

One hidden and concealed as a continual elapse was now being brought forward to light in a body.

The word good news is basharah בשרה in Hebrew and comes from the word bashar בשר which means flesh. Yahuah transitioned to Yahusha in the flesh in a body to bring immortality to light.

He alone is the Alaph Shanah אלפ שנה who can reproduce eternal lives into us, just as we picked up our mortal breaths from Adam in whom we die as mortals as shaneh שנה also means sleep, in Yahusha our Alahym we pick up our eternal lives as 1Corin 15:45 says the last Adam became a life-giving Spirit (referring to Yahusha ha Mashiyach).

Rev 20:3 And after these things he is released/ יתר yathar for a short season.

Yathar יתר means excess/remainder/other part / abundant/excellence.

They translated it as release. Please see the same word used in the following scriptures as an example:

Gen 49:3 “Re’uḇěn, you are my first-born, my power and the beginning of my strength, the excellency/yathar יתר H3499 of exaltation and the excellency of power. 

Exo 10:5 ‘And they shall cover the surface of the land, so that no one is able to see the land. And they shall eat the rest/yathar יתר H3499 of what has escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and they shall eat every tree which grows up for you out of the field.

Hence ha shatan’s release is to the remainder/remnant/excellent ones who tries to bring them back within the perimeter of the alaph shanah אלפ שנה  confinement. He persecutes Covenant Yasharal denoted by woman in birth pangs who had delivered the man child (Mashiyach likeness) and she was given wings of a strong eagle with a place for her in the wilderness for time, times and dividing of time/1260 days/42 months/3.5 years of short season. While the carnal man is within the perimeter of alaph shanah  אלפ שנה and cannot attain eternal life as Shatan is tied to keep them within that perimeter, the elect rule and reign with Mashiyach who is the second / shanah Alaph who by His immortal breath takes us beyond that perimeter and Rev 20:4 -5 says 

Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones – and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them – and the lives of those who had been beheaded because of the witness they bore to יהושע and because of the Word of Elohim, and who did not worship the beast, nor his image, and did not receive his mark upon their foreheads or upon their hands. And they lived and reigned with Messiah for a thousand years alaph shanah  אלפ שנה .

Rev 20:5 (and the rest/yathar יתר of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed/malath מלאת ) – this is the first resurrection.

Here the rest/remainder יתר of the dead (who once were termed as excellent ones are now dead) did not come to life i.e. They continued to live in the confinement of the thousand years/ alaph shanah  אלפ שנה and remember we saw shaneh שנה (same spelling) means sleep.

The ones ALIVE are part of the first resurrection.

Ha shatan tried to occupy the new creation order but was cast out as it’s an order not of this creation and it’s an order in our Adon's body. He could dispute the body of Moses, but he can’t dispute the body of Yahusha our Alahym . HalaluYah!

One Day is as Thousand years and thousand years as One Day imagery:

Yom echad  יום אחד —Alaph Shanah אלפ שנה —Yom echad יום אחד

2Pe 3:8 But, beloved ones, let not this one matter be hidden from you: that with יהוה one day/Yom echad  יום אחד is as a thousand years/Alaph Shanah אלפ שנה, and a thousand years/Alaph Shanah אלפ שנה as one day/Yom echad  יום אחד. 

The word yom יום we saw means a continual/daily and echad אחד means One/Unite. 

Yom echad is also translated as ‘first day.’

Gen 1:5 And Elohim called the light ‘day’ and the darkness He called ‘night.’ And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, first/one day. (Yom Echad יום אחד).

What was done on the first day?

Gen 1:3 And Elohim said, “Let light come to be,” and light came to be. 

2Co 4:6 For Elohim, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts for the enlightening of the knowledge of the esteem of Elohim in the face of יהושע Messiah.

Before even calling it a Day in creation, Yahuah shone forth His Light which darkness couldn’t stop and shines in a dark place in creation to give the light of Himself in the face/ body of Yahusha to whom He transitioned to.

Hence, yom echad יום אחד was tied to the alaph shanah אלפ שנה because this Light is Yahusha Himself, the uncreated Alahym, the one who is a daily/continual in a time elapsed from our perspective brought forth His eternal life into the front to take us beyond the Alaph shanah אלפ שנה (an Alaph repeating His kind) to Yom echad יום אחד i.e. Before even He called it a day denoting an eternal life.

In /בית bayt (is also the body) the eyes /aynay עיני of Yahuah yom echad  / יום אחד (a continual/daily unity) Alaph Shanah/אלף שנה and the Alaph Shanah/ אלף שנה as yom echad/ יום אחד (a continual/ daily unity).

Yahuah in His own body purposed and saw His Light being lightened continually as His elect attaining the Alaph Shanah אלף שנה (the Alaph’s reproductive life) as it was before even, He called it a First Day as He is beyond time. 

Hence, His greatness is seen in the counsel of His will which He accomplished in His own body transition to make us echad אחד to that continual/ יום yom . HalaluYah! So great are His wonders.

Summary:

The 1000 years is a symbolic time frame denoting a spiritual truth of the condition of mankind outside Mashiyach and his need to be in Mashiyach to attain immortality who alone can take us beyond the perimter.

The 1000 years is a perimeter with man in Adam confined within it in mortality and eventually will attain the second death, and man believing in Mashiyach beyond the perimeter who alone crosses over in His body to live eternally in and with Him. 

Shatan was allowed to keep man within the perimeter and hence his chaining and loosing are all symbolic and an eye opener only to the elect.

The time, times and dividing of time is the entire physical Shemitah under his rule as the words are same for appointed times (moead, moeadim and khatsay)

The dividing of time denoted by 1260 days/ 42 months /3.5 of the short season again are imageries to show us we are in it. We cannot predict when the days of the scattering of the set apart people will end.

But from Rev 10 we can understand that the Messenger told John there will be time no longer which shows us the little season will soon come to an end at the sound of the 7th Messenger who is Yahusha Ha Mashiyach Himself. It says the mystery of Alahym will be completed.

Rev 10:6 and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created the heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that there shall be no further delay,(Greek words: chronos eti which means little season no more)

Rev 10:7 but in the days of the sounding of the seventh messenger, when he is about to sound, the secret of Elohim shall also be ended, as He declared to His servants the prophets.

The seventh trumpet is the last trumpet, and all will know Yahusha is Yahuah who has transitioned and the one true Alahym and every knee will bow in heaven, earth and below the underworld acknowledging this but it will be Alas! for those within the perimeter feeding on death all their life.

The 2 witnesses bodies lying on the street of the great city says is for 3.5 days and the Greek word for days is Hemera which also means an age/ year.

It also signifies to Daniel’s 70th week which is 7 days broken down into 3.5 days when the anti-messiah spirit causes the abomination of desolation.

Dan 9:27 “And he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week. And in the middle of the week, he shall put an end to slaughtering and meal offering. And on the wing of abominations he shall lay waste, even until the complete end and that which is decreed is poured out on the one who lays waste.

The New Covenant is denoted by One week or 7 days and all is tied to the 7 oaths/declaration which the Messenger described by John and also by Daniel. 

So, the 2 witnesses denoted by Torah and Prophets testimony will be killed in the middle of the week until the consummation. 

Rev 11:19 And the Dwelling Place of Elohim was opened in the heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His Dwelling Place. And there came to be lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail. 

The ark of the Covenant is Mashiyach who will be seen by all at the sound of the 7th Messenger. There are many more imageries we need to study and look at closely. 

When all this is unfolded to us, we are near the end, but we still cannot say 3.5 years or days are remaining as the language is parabolic to show us the signs of times and not pinpoint days.
