"מִסְפַּר הַיָּמִים... יוֹם לַשָּׁנָה, יוֹם לַשָּׁנָה" ("the number of days... a day for a year, a day for a year").
Eze 4:4 “And lie on your left side, and you shall put the crookedness of the house of Yisra’ěl on it. As many days as you lie on it, you shall bear their crookedness.
Eze 4:5 “For I Myself have laid on you the years of their crookedness, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days. And you shall bear the crookedness of the house of Yisra’ěl.
Eze 4:6 “And when you have completed them, you shall lie again on your right side and shall bear the crookedness of the house of Yehuḏah forty days, a day for a year
(yom leshanah "יוֹם לְשָׁנָה").
I have laid on you a day for a year (yom leshanah "יוֹם לְשָׁנָה").
Ezekiel lies on his side 390 days for YasharEL’s sins and 40 days for Yahudah’s, symbolizing 390 and 40 years. Again, "יוֹם לְשָׁנָה" ("yom leshanah") means "a day for a year."
Example of 'year for a day'
Pslams 90:4 "For a thousand years (אֶלֶף שָׁנִים) in your eyes [are] like the day (yom: יוֹם) cut short (ethmol: אֶתְמוּל), and [like] a watch in the night."
2Peter 3:8 "But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with Yahuah one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."
Peter echoes Psalm 90:4. "Ete" (ἔτη, years) and "hemera" (ἡμέρα, day) mirror "shanim" and "yom." It’s bidirectional (day = 1,000 years, 1,000 years = day)
Isa 34:8 "For a day (yom: יוֹם) of vengeance [belongs] to Yahuah, a year (shanath: שְׁנַת) of recompense for the cause of Zion."
Isa 61:2 "To proclaim the year (shanath: שְׁנַת) of the Yahuah’s favor and the day (yom: יוֹם) of vengeance of our Elohim, to comfort all mourners."
Day for a year and year for a day: Bidirectional i.e. a thousand years as one day and one day as thousand years seen in creation account.
Image 1. 7,000 years significance
While Yahuah could create the worlds instantly, He used 24 hour periods with spiritual and figurative significance to demonstrate truth. Creation account spans seven 24 hour periods pointing to 7,000 years as we saw one day is as thousand years and thousand years as one day where mankind is limited to a 6,000 year span.
Gen 6:3 And יהוה said, “My Spirit shall not strive/dayan 𐤃𐤉𐤍 or dun 𐤃𐤅𐤍 H1777 with man forever in his going astray. He is flesh, and his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”
dayan 𐤃𐤉𐤍 or dun 𐤃𐤅𐤍 H1777 is rooted in Adon 𐤀𐤃𐤅𐤍 which is a primitive root H113 and Adon refers to Yahuah & Yahusha Himself.
A primitive root (compare H113); to rule; by implication to judge (as umpire); also to strive (as at law): - contend, execute (judgment), judge, minister judgment, plead (the cause), at strife, strive.
Man being carnal/fleshly, His Ruach will not strive with him, for he is ordained for falling short of the rest and hence the 120 years is 120 x 50 (jubilee years) = 6000
Timelines to Messiah: The first 80 jubilees or 4,000 years
Gen 11:26 records that Terah was 70 years and brought forth Abram, Nahor and Haran.
Gen 11:26 And Teraḥ lived seventy years, and brought forth Aḇram, Naḥor, and Haran.
How are we to understand this? Were they triplets? Not at all.
Gen 11:32 And the days of Teraḥ came to be two hundred and five years, and Teraḥ died in Ḥaran.
Gen 12:4 So Aḇram left, as יהוה had commanded him, and Lot went with him. And Aḇram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Ḥaran.
If Abram left Haran at 75, and if Terah died at 205, then:
205 (Terah's age at death) – 75 (Abram's age when he left) = 130
Hence, Terah was 130 years old when Abram was born.
But we read in Gen 11:26 that Terah lived 70 years and brought forth Abram, Nahor and Haran. That doesn't mean they were triplets?. The answer is an obvious no. It's a summary verse that introduces Terah’s three sons — much like Genesis 5:32 says:
Gen 5:32 And Noaḥ was five hundred years old, and Noaḥ brought forth Shěm, Ḥam, and Yapheth.
We know Shem wasn’t born until Noah was 502 (Genesis 11:10), so the verse is not saying all were born at once — just that Noah started having sons at age 500.
Gen 11:10 This is the genealogy of Shěm: Shěm was a hundred years old and brought forth Arpaḵshaḏ, two years after the flood.
In the timeline I have corrected Noah's age as 502 when he begat Shem but the beginning of the year of his fatherhood was 500 when he brought forth Yapheth & it shows Shem was not his firstborn.
Verses in question:
-
Genesis 5:32 – "After Noah was 500 years old, he became the father of Shem, Ham and Yapheth."
-
Genesis 7:6 – "Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters came on the earth."
-
Genesis 11:10 – "These are the generations of Shem: Shem was 100 years old and became the father of Arphaxad two years after the flood."
The Discrepancy
1. Noah was 500 when he started having sons (Gen 5:32)
It says Noah was 500 years old when he "begot Shem, Ham, and Yapheth"—but this doesn’t mean they were triplets. It simply states that around that age, Noah began to have his three sons.
2. Shem was 100 years old when he had Arphaxad, 2 years after the flood (Gen 11:10)
This implies that Shem was 98 years old at the time of the flood. So, if the flood was when Noah was 600, Shem was born when Noah was 502 years old (600 - 98).
3. So was Shem the firstborn?
No he wasn't
Genesis 5:32 says Noah was 500 when he started having sons, and if Shem was born when Noah was 502, then Shem was not the firstborn but probably the second. This suggests that Yapheth was the oldest.
And in fact, this is supported by:
Gen 10:21 Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Yapheth the elder, even to him were children born.
This is the only place I have changed the timeline from Noah to Shem (because of the flood reference) as 502 whereas Noah became father when he was 500 years old.
Summarizing the Noah's lineage discrepancy:
1. Genesis 5:32 is summarizing Noah’s sons without asserting birth order.
2. Genesis 11:10 shows Shem was born when Noah was 502.
3. Shem was not the literal firstborn, but is listed first due to his lineage importance, not chronology.
4. And the inference is before flood and after flood coz Adam to the flood was exactly 1656 years and the correction I have made keeps that intact.
Genesis 11:26 means that Terah began having sons at age 70, not necessarily Abraham. Genesis 11:26 just signals the beginning of Terah's fathering children at 70, not that Abram was born at 70.
Terah began having children at age 70 and its most likely Haran for the following reasons:
1. Haran died before Terah in the land of his birth in Ur of Chaldees/Kasdim
Gen 11:28 And Haran died before his father Teraḥ in the land of his birth, in Ur-kasdim.
2. Nahor took his brother Haran's daughter Milcah to be his wife which shows he was the youngest among Haran and Abraham, and if Haran had a daughter of a marriageable age and his brother Nahor took her to be his wife, this shows that Haran was the one whom Terah bore when he was 70. Abraham was born later when Terah was 130 years. Why do we just take 70 and not 130 is because that was the starting point of Terah's fatherhood and not his birth just as we took Noah's starting point of his fatherhood to Yapeth and not Shem.
Gen 11:29 And Aḇram and Naḥor took wives: the name of Aḇram’s wife was Sarai, and the name of Naḥor’s wife, Milkah, the daughter of Haran the father of Milkah and the father of Yiskah.

Now an important question: Why is Yoseph's age not taken in timeline? I was amazed when I drilled down and I trust the reader will understand
Yoseph was 39 years old when Yaaqob his father and all his brothers came to Egypt & Yaaqob was 130 years when he entered Egypt (Gen 47:8-9).
Gen 47:8 And Pharaoh said to Ya‛aqoḇ, “How old are you?”
Gen 47:9 And Ya‛aqoḇ said to Pharaoh, “The days of the years of my sojournings are one hundred and thirty years. Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not reached the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their sojournings.”
Yoseph was 30 years old when he stood before Pharaoh and 39 years old when Yaaqob entered Egypt (Gen 41:46)
How was Yoseph 39 years when Yaaqob entered Egypt?
7 years plentiful time had passed and 2 years of famine had passed (Gen 45:5-9)
Gen 45:5 “And now, do not be grieved nor displeased with yourselves because you sold me here, for Elohim sent me before you to preserve life.
Gen 45:6 “For two years now the scarcity of food has been in the land, and there are still five years in which there is neither ploughing nor harvesting.
Gen 45:7 “And Elohim sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to give life to you by a great escape.
Gen 45:8 “So then, you did not send me here, but Elohim. And He has set me for a father to Pharaoh, and master of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Mitsrayim.
Gen 45:9 “Hurry and go up to my father, and say to him, ‘Thus says your son Yosěph, “Elohim has made me master of all Mitsrayim. Come down to me, do not delay.
Yaaqob lived 17 years in Egypt and died at 147 and that would make Yoseph's age to 56 (39 + 17)
Gen 47:28 And Ya‛aqoḇ lived in the land of Mitsrayim seventeen years. So the length of Ya‛aqoḇ’s life was one hundred and forty-seven years.
Yoseph was 110 years when he died (Gen 50:26)
Gen 50:26 And Yosěph died, being one hundred and ten years old. And they embalmed him, and he was placed in a coffin in Mitsrayim.
Yoseph/Joseph dies at the age of 110 which means he rules for another 54 years from the time his father Yaaqob dies i.e. 110-56 = 54 years
YasharEL lived in Egypt for 286 years at the time of the death of Yoseph/Joseph 215+ 17 (Yaaqob lived 17 years in Egypt) + 54 (Yoseph ruled for another 54 years after Yaaqob's death)=286
How do we get the first 215 years marked in Green above?
Abraham was 75 years when he left Haran & 100 years when Yitshaq was born (Gen 12:4, Gen 21:5). Hence, we take 100-75 =25 when Yitshaq was born to him.
Gen 12:1 And יהוה said to Aḇram, “Go yourself out of your land, from your relatives and from your father’s house, to a land which I show you.
Gen 12:2 “And I shall make you a great nation, and bless you and make your name great, and you shall be a blessing!
Gen 12:3 “And I shall bless those who bless you, and curse him who curses you. And in you all the clans of the earth shall be blessed.”
Gen 12:4 So Aḇram left, as יהוה had commanded him, and Lot went with him. And Aḇram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Ḥaran.
Gen 21:5 And Aḇraham was one hundred years old when his son Yitsḥaq was born to him.
To calculate the time YasharEL was in Egypt when the covenant was first given to Abraham when he was 75, we take Abraham's just 25 years until birth of Yitshaq because before this Abraham was in Ur of Chaldees. He came to Haran along with Terah. When his father Terah died in Haran, Yahuah told him to come out from his fathers house and that he would bless him, this was when he was 75 . However, in the timeline we will have to take his entire age to bridge until Yitshaq.
Yitshaq was 60 years old when Yaaqob was born
Gen 25:26 And afterward his brother came out, with his hand holding on to Ěsaw’s heel, so his name was called Ya‛aqoḇ. And Yitsḥaq was sixty years old when she bore them.
Yaaqob was 130 years when he entered Egypt
Hence 25 (when Abraham was given the covenant when he was 75) + 60 (Yitshaq's age when Yaaqob was born) + 130 (When Yaaqob went to Egypt) = 215 years
We saw Yaaqob lived 17 years in Egypt (Gen 47:28) and died at 147
Yoseph ruled another 54 years when his father died until his death
Hence 25 +60 +130+17 +54 =286
How did we arrive at 64 when Masha/Moses was born?
1) Masha/Moses was 80 years old at the time of the Exodus (Ex 7:7)
Exo 7:7 Now Mosheh was eighty years old and Aharon eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh.
2) The time that YasharEL lived in Egypt was 430 years. (Ex. 12:40)
Exo 12:40 And the sojourn of the children of Yisra’ěl who lived in Mitsrayim was four hundred and thirty years.
YasharEL lived in Egypt for 430 - 80 = 350 years (at the time of Moses birth) and Yoseph's death to birth of Moses 350-286=64
Yoseph’s life overlaps with the early years in Egypt & in Yaaqob's age
Yaaqob was 91 years when Yoseph was born. How do we know this?
Yaaqob's age was 130 when he entered Egypt and Yoseph was 39. Hence, 130-39= 91. So these 39 years are within Yaaqob's age.
Yoseph's age also over laps with the Levi-Kohath-Amram genealogy and he doesn’t represent a generational break like Moses does.
Levi (Yaaqob’s son) lived to 137 (Exodus 6:16). & Kohath (Levi’s son) lived to 133 (Exodus 6:18) & Amram lived 137 years (Exo 6:20)
Moses was 80 years old during the Exodus, so Amram would have been 137-80 = 57 years when Moses was born.
Scripture doesn't give a reference to how old Levi was when he went to Egypt and how old was Yaaqob when Levi was born. Hence we can only fill in the blanks here which we can't do due to the missing links
137 (Levi's age) + 133 (Kohath's age) + 57 (Amram's age when Moses was born) + 80 (Moses to Exodus) = 407 which is 23 years lesser than 430 and we don't have age references for the following:
1. What was Yaaqob's age when Levi was born
2. What was Levi's age when he entered Egypt
3. What was Levi's age when Kohath was born
4. What was Kohath's age when he entered Egypt
Hence, we can't find the exact ages until Moses. To solve this problem we take the Yoseph to Moses gap of 64 years to fill in from Yaaqob entering Egypt to Moses. And then switch over to Moses. This is the correct way to do. Yoseph’s death, doesn’t mark a new genealogical milestone, as his role is narrative (preserving the family) rather than patriarchal in the sense of continuing the covenant line directly. Yoseph’s 71 years after Yaaqob’s arrival or 54 years after Yaaqob's death don’t serve as a chronological anchor because his death doesn’t initiate a new genealogical link. His sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, become tribes, but their ages or descendants aren’t used to track time in the text. Lack of direct lineage i.e. Unlike earlier genealogies (e.g., Genesis 5, where each patriarch’s age at the birth of his heir is listed), the text here shifts to the Levi-Kohath-Amram-Moses and the “Missing Link” until Moses can't be found out from their ages, hence, Yahuah in His wisdom embedded a seal to look at Yoseph to fill in the blanks until Moses and shows the continuity.
The time duration Samuel judged YasharEL is not mentioned as his judging is overlapped in Eli & king Shaul’s reign.
Acts 13:20-21 says “And after that He gave judges for about four hundred and fifty years, until Shemu’ěl the prophet. 21. But then they asked for a sovereign, and Elohim gave them Sha’ul the son of Qish, a man of the tribe of Binyamin, for forty years.
The other thing is we saw Yahushua's/Joshua's age was 110 when he died and hence after the wilderness journey he was 70 (110-40) and lived on for another 40 years. YasharEL's 40 years wilderness journey is factored in his 70 years. We don't take his another 40 years when he led YasharEL is because :
1. He was not a judge
2. His other 40 years overlaps with Othneil (Judges 3:10-11). To see and understand the overlap, when we read Josh 15:16-17, Yahushua mentions Othniel capturing Qiryath Sepher and was given Aksah, Kaleb's daughter as his wife. Othneil's 40 years rule as a judge is mentioned in Jud 3:9-11
Jos 15:16 And Kalěḇ said, “He who strikes Qiryath Sěpher and shall capture it, to him I shall give Aḵsah my daughter as wife.”
Jos 15:17 And Othni’ěl son of Qenaz, the brother of Kalěḇ, did capture it, so he gave him Aḵsah his daughter as wife.
Jdg 3:9 And when the children of Yisra’ěl cried out to יהוה, יהוה raised up a saviour for the children of Yisra’ěl, who saved them: Othni’ěl son of Qenaz, Kalěḇ’s younger brother.
Jdg 3:10 And the Spirit of יהוה came upon him, and he ruled Yisra’ěl, and went out to battle, and יהוה gave into his hand Kushan-Rish‛athayim sovereign of Aram Naharayim. And his hand prevailed over Kushan-Rish‛athayim,
Jdg 3:11 and the land had rest for forty years. Then Othni’ěl son of Qenaz died,
The sum of the judges of 450 years matches exactly with what Luke records in Acts 13:20-21.
We don't take YahuYahaz's reign span as he only ruled for 3 months and was immediately replaced by king of Egypt with Yahuyaqim. Similarly, we don't take Yahuyaqin's reign span as he only ruled for 3 months & 10 days and was immediately replaced by king of Babylon with Tsidqiyahu.
Daniel's captivity in 605 BC is not accounted in the timeline as his captivity is accounted in Yahuyaqim's captivity
Ezekiel's captivity in the 2nd siege in 597BC is not accounted in the timeline as his captivity is already accounted in Yahuyaqin's captivity.
The Temple destruction and final 3rd siege in 586BC is not accounted in the timeline as the captivity is already accounted in in TsidqiYahu's captivity.
We see the 70 year captivity ending in 516BC from 586 BC when the temple was rebuilt and Passover was celebrated during Ezra's time. To account the years until Artaxerxes first decree which happened in 457BC, we must deduct 457BC from 516BC & it amounts to 49 years which is added to the table. Daniel's 70 week prophecy begins here 7 x 7 (Daniel 9:25)
Dan 9:25 “Know, then, and understand: from the going forth of the command to restore and build Yerushalayim until Messiah the Prince is seven weeks and sixty-two weeks. It shall be built again, with streets and a trench, but in times of affliction.
Yahusha began His public ministry at about 30 years old, around 27 AD, during the 15th year of Tiberius Caesar (Luke 3:1, 3:23)
His ministry lasted approximately 3½ years.
His crucifixion occurred around Spring of 31 AD
Image 2. Daniel's 69 weeks snapshot
Daniel's 70 week prophecy starts from Artaxerxes: 70 weeks of years denoting Shemitah.
Dan 9:24 “Seventy weeks are decreed for your people and for your set-apart city, to put an end to the transgression, and to seal up sins, and to cover crookedness, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophet, and to anoint the Most Set-apart.
Dan 9:25 “Know, then, and understand: from the going forth of the command to restore and build Yerushalayim until Messiah the Prince is seven weeks and sixty-two weeks. It shall be built again, with streets and a trench, but in times of affliction.
Artaxerxes gave decree in 457BC to restore rule to Yahudah.
The Daniel’s prophecy says in Daniel 9:25 to restore and build Yerushalayim, the word for restore is H7725 shub שוב which means return, return to whom? The rule back to Yahudah and rebuild H1129 is the word banah בנה which also means build. So, return back the rule (457BC) and rebuild (444BC) was the decree which only fits the bill, as we see Artaxerxes as he first commands Ezra in 457BC to re-establish the rule and in 444BC tells Nehemiah to complete repairing Yerushalayim.
Some examples:
1. Benhaded the Armanean told Ahab
1Ki 20:34 And Ben-Haḏaḏ said to him, “The cities which my father took from your father I return/shub שוב H7725. And set up marketplaces for yourself in Dammeseq, as my father did in Shomeron.” And Aḥaḇ said, “I send you away with this covenant.” And he made a covenant with him and sent him away.
And the command came to build the marketplaces once restored.
2. 2Ki 14:22 He/Azariah built H1129 banah בנה Ěylath and restored/H7725 shub שוב it to Yehuḏah, after the sovereign slept with his fathers.
To Restore came in 457 BC Ezra 7:12-26 and to build came only by Artaxerxes in 444 BC as recorded in Nehemiah 2 ,which was 13 years later. We take his first decree to map the coming of Mashiyach To Restore came in 457 BC (Ezra 7:12-26) & hence the 7 x 7 is calculated from here landing us to 408BC. To build came only by Artaxerxes in 444 BC as recorded in Nehemiah 2 but this building was only of the wall & burial sites. The Temple was already built in 516BC and Passover celebrated.
Neh 2:5 and said to the sovereign, “If it seems good to the sovereign, and if your servant is pleasing before you, I ask that you send me to Yahuḏah, to the city of my fathers’ burial-sites, so that I build it.” And he was permitted.
The Calculation: The year 408 BC was the year from the time restore (457 BC) i.e. 457 - 408 = 49 years (Daniel’s first 7 x 7 prophecy from 70 weeks Daniel 9:25)
Image 2. Daniel's 69 weeks
Daniel's 70th Renewed Covenant week:
Image 3.
Referring to Image 3. you would have the question what are these legs and hands in the 2 corners of the table. Here is the beautiful imagery.
Dan 12:5 Then I, Dani’ěl, looked and saw two others standing, one on this bank of the river and the other on that bank.
Dan 12:6 And one said to the man dressed in linen, who was rising up from (maal 𐤌𐤏𐤋 H4605) the waters of the river, “How long until the end of these wonders?”
Dan 12:7 And I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, and he held up his right hand and his left hand to the heavens, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it would be for an appointed time (muaed), appointed times (muaedim), and half a time (khatsay). And when they have ended scattering the power of the set-apart people, then all these shall be completed.
When Daniel was given the vision he saw the man dressed in linen rising up from the waters (most translations in English say 'above the waters'). This was indeed Yahusha in His Second estate vision who held up his right hand and left hand to the heavens. If you look at the image, He was pointing upwards to Day 5 and Day 6. He being rising up from/up on ward the waters was a position showing He has yet to come as his feet were not on land yet.
But Daniel also sees 2 witnesses of Mashiyach (synonymous with the two witnesses of Revelation 11 whom the beast ascending out of the sea (waters) imitating Mashiyach kills them and their bodies lie on the streets for 3.5 days or years/1260 days/42 months. Daniel sees the 2 witnesses of Mashiyach as one standing on this bank (Old Covenant) and one on another bank (Renewed Covenant).
Dan 12:5 Then I, Dani’ěl, looked and saw two others standing, one on this bank of the river and the other on that bank.
Rev 11:3 “And I shall give unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clad in sackcloth.”
Rev 11:7 And when they have ended their witness, the beast coming up out of the pit of the deep shall fight against them, and overcome them, and kill them,
The Hebrew understanding of 'deep' is 'thahum 𐤕𐤄𐤅𐤌' which is from the deep waters.
Gen 1:2 And the earth came to be formless and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep/'thahum H8415 𐤕𐤄𐤅𐤌'. And the Spirit of Elohim was moving on the face of the waters.
Gen 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noaḥ’s life, in the second new moon, the seventeenth day of the moon, on that day all the fountains of the great deep/'thahum H8415 𐤕𐤄𐤅𐤌' were broken up, and the windows of the heavens were opened
Rev 13:1 And I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads names of blasphemy.
Rev 13:5 And he was given a mouth speaking great matters and blasphemies, and he was given authority to do so forty-two months.
Rev 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against Elohim, to blaspheme His Name, and His Tent, and those dwelling in the heaven.
Rev 13:7 And it was given to him to fight with the set-apart ones and to overcome them. And authority was given to him over every tribe and tongue and nation.
Coming back to the man dressed in linen, lifting up His hands to heaven swore by Him who lives forever and ever that it will be for time, times and dividing of time which is the same period of 1260 days. i.e. Time (360) + Times (360 x2 = 720) + dividing of time (360/2 = 180). 360 + 720 + 180 = 1260 days.
When Daniel asked what the vision meant, he was told Dan 12:9 ...“Go, Dani’ěl, for the words are hidden and sealed till the time of the end. The Day 5 and Day 6 during Daniel's time was yet to come.
When we come to the book of Revelation we see John is told that there shall be no further delay (Rev 10:6). John sees the Messenger standing on the sea (waters) and on the land and lifted up his right hand. Just one hand and that too the right hand pointing to Day 6 when the time designated for mankind of 6,000 years will be complete. Rev 10:7- the 7th trumpet is the last trumpet. Man and Beast (land living creatures) were created on the 6th day (Gen 1:24-27) & that's why John is given visions where he sees the beast/living creature all pointing that we are at the close of 6,000 years.
Rev 10:5 And the messenger whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to the heaven,
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,
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.
Decoding Image 3:
We saw Daniel's 62 x 7 falls on 27AD-28AD (4th 1,000 years) and we are progressing further to the final week/shemitah kept by Yahusha Himself. Book of Revelation ties most events to a shemitah/seven oaths. Examples: John sees Yahusha among 7 golden lampstands, in His hands are 7 stars (keymah (7 stars) and kesil-orion (constellations)-John is identifying Yahusha as Yahuah in His Second estate), 7 seals, 7 trumpets, 7 bowls of wrath etc. all point to the 'seven oaths' YasharEL failed to keep and its kept and fulfilled by Yahusha ha Mashiyach.
Amo 5:8 He who made Kimah and Kesil, and who turns the shadow of death into morning and darkened day into night, who is calling for the waters of the sea and pours them out on the face of the earth – יהוה is His Name –
Firstly looking at Image 3. we see Covenant YasharEL who brought forth the man child (Yahusha) flees into the wilderness for 1260 days (Rev 12:6)
Rev 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by Elohim, to be nourished there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
And when there is war in the heavenlies and ha shatan is thrown down he comes to persecute the woman (Covenant YasharEL) who is given wings of a great eagle to fly into the wilderness for time, times and a half (appointed times-same as 1260 days, 42 months or 3.5 days or years).
Rev 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.
Rev 12:14 And the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, to fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.
Rev 12:15 And out of his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river after the woman, to cause her to be swept away by the river.
Rev 12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.
Exo 19:4 ‘You have seen what I did to the Mitsrites, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.
Eagles wings is figurative of Yahuah bringing YasharEL unto Himself
The dragon spewed water out of his mouth (false basarah's/gospels) to carry her away but the earth helped the woman in opening its mouth and swallowed up the river (false basarah's/gospels). Can we see this happening in the 6th day when carnal man as a beast/living creature has increased greatly swallowing up the false basarah's/gospels ? Kindly look at the table of Image 3 to see the 6th Day.
Hence, summing up John saw the man clothed in linen raising His right hand pointing to the witness of the 6th Day (beast and man were created) showing that we are very close to the end of 6000 years determined for carnal man. What befalls a beast befalls man and man has the beast (beastly nature) within him causing him to be lawless.
Setting the context for understanding of the watch mentioned in Psalms 90:4
As per Psalms 90:4 1000 years is as a day cut short & 1 watch in the night
Four watches:
All are told to watch and there are 4 watches of the night listed.
Mar 13:3 And as He sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the Set-apart Place, Kěpha, and Ya‛aqoḇ, and Yoḥanan, and Andri asked Him separately,
4 of his disciples ask him separately and he tells them to be watch all 4 watches and this He says just as He told them, He says to all.
Yahusha said Mar 13:35 “Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming – in the evening or at midnight, or at the crowing of the cock, or in the morning,
Mar 13:36 lest, coming suddenly, he should find you sleeping.
Mar 13:37 “And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!”
Evening = 1st Watch (6PM–9 PM)
Midnight = 2nd Watch (9PM–12 AM)
Cockcrowing = 3rd Watch (12AM–3 AM)
Morning = 4th Watch (3AM–6 AM)
But then Yahusha personally gives His chosen ones a clue of His coming and narrows down the watches to 2
Luk 12:32 “Do not fear, little flock, because your Father did delight to give you the reign.
Luk 12:33 “Sell your possessions and give in kindness. Make yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief does come near nor moth destroys.
Luk 12:34 “For where your treasure is, there your heart shall be also.
Luk 12:35 “Let your loins be girded and your lamps burning,
Luk 12:36 and be like men waiting for their master, when he shall return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they open to him immediately.
Luk 12:37 “Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, shall find watching. Truly, I say to you that he shall gird himself and make them sit down to eat, and shall come and serve them.
Luk 12:38 “And if he comes in the second watch, or in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
2nd watch is from 9pm to 12am & 3rd watch is from 12AM to 3AM
Psa 90:4 For a thousand years in Your eyes Are like a day cut short, Or like a watch/ashmurah 𐤀𐤔𐤌𐤅𐤓𐤄 H821 in the night.
'ashmura 𐤀𐤔𐤌𐤅𐤓𐤄 H821' comes from the root word 'shamar 𐤔𐤌𐤓' H8104 which means 'to guard'
'ashmurah 𐤀𐤔𐤌𐤅𐤓𐤄 H821' also has 3 more root words 'ash 𐤀𐤔' which means 'fire', 'marah 𐤌𐤓𐤄 ' which means 'bitter' & 'ashah 𐤀𐤔𐤄 ' which means 'wife'. The picture is Yahuah who is in the second estate as Yahusha will guard, his wife as he would drink the bitter water of jealousy (myrrh on the stake) & save His bride from wormwood (Numbers 5:1- 24) & from fire. For it also says in Kepha's letter that the Day of Yahuah will come and the elements in the present earth and heavens will melt with a fervent heat. Yahusha will protect us seeing us through the alaph shanah/1000 years.
Psalms 90:4 is the prayer of Moshe the man of Elohim and he says 1,000 years are like a period cut short and is like a watch in the night. Wasn't he referring to one of the watches from 2nd and 3rd in the night? We need to now identify the watch.
Shortlisting the 2 watches out of 4 mentioned in Mark 13:35.
Midnight watch= 2nd Watch (9pm t0 12am)
Cockcrowing = 3rd Watch (12AM–3 AM)
This can be decoded in the garden of Gethsemane, where Yahusha prayed and was arrested for the trial before He was impaled. He took 3 disciples along with him closer to where He was, representing each hour of the watch (Matt 26:37 Kepha, James and John; James and John were Zabdi's sons). In a watch there are 3 hours. Yahusha tells Kepha (Matt 36:40) “So, were you not able to watch with Me one hour?"
Luke records in 22:41 that He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and falling on His knees He was praying. And as He was praying a messenger appeared to Him and strengthened Him. (Luke 22:43). And being in agony, He was praying more earnestly. And His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground (Luke 22:44).
Mat 26:36 Then יהושע came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the taught ones, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”
Mat 26:37 And He took with Him Kěpha and the two sons of Zaḇdai, and He began to be grieved and deeply distressed.
Mat 26:38 Then He said to them, “My being is exceedingly grieved, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.”
Mat 26:39 And going forward a little, He fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I desire, but as You desire.”
Mat 26:40 And He came to the taught ones and found them asleep, and said to Kěpha, “So, were you not able to watch with Me one hour?
Mat 26:41 “Watch and pray, lest you enter into trial. The spirit indeed is eager, but the flesh is weak.”
Mat 26:42 Again He went away, a second time, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is impossible for this to pass unless I drink it, let Your desire be done.”
Mat 26:43 And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.
Mat 26:44 And He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
Mat 26:45 Then He came to His taught ones and said to them, “Still sleeping and taking rest? See, the hour has come near, and the Son of Aḏam is delivered up into the hands of sinners.
Mat 26:46 “Rise, let us go. See, he who delivers Me up has come near.”
How do we identify this watch? Its simple. Yahusha told Kepha that before the cock crows, he would deny him 3 times.
Mat 26:34 יהושע said to him, “Truly, I say to you that this night, before the cock crows, you shall deny Me three times.”
This event happened when Yahusha was in trial and Kepha was outside warming himself. This shows Yahusha's arrest was between 1am and 2am because the cock crowing only happened after his arrest, when Kepha denied Him.
Luk 22:54 And having seized Him, they led Him and brought Him to the house of the high priest. And Kěpha was following at a distance
Luk 22:55 And when they had lit a fire in the midst of the courtyard, and sat down together, Kěpha sat among them.
Luk 22:56 And a certain servant girl, seeing him as he sat by the fire, looked intently at him and said, “And this one was with Him.”
Luk 22:57 But he denied Him, saying, “Woman, I do not know Him.”
Luk 22:58 And after a little while another saw him and said, “You are one of them too.” But Kěpha said, “Man, I am not!”
Luk 22:59 And about an hour later, another insisted, saying, “Truly, this one was with Him too, for he is a Galilean too.”
Luk 22:60 But Kěpha said, “Man, I do not know what you are saying!” And immediately, while he was still speaking, a cock crowed.
Luk 22:61 And the Master turned and looked at Kěpha, and Kěpha remembered the word of the Master, how He had said to him, “Before a cock crows, you shall deny Me three times.”
Luk 22:62 And Kěpha went out and wept bitterly.
Let's piece the night together as basarah's don't give a time of His arrest:
1. Passover meal he had in the evening hour: (1st watch-6pm to 9pm)
Mat 26:19 And the taught ones did as יהושע had ordered them, and prepared the Pěsaḥ.
Mat 26:20 And when evening came, He sat down with the twelve.
2. After the meal they sang a hymn and left for the garden of Gethsemane (Still probably the last part of the 1st watch 6pm to 9pm)
Mat 26:30 And having sung a song, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
3. Arrival and prayer at the garden of Gethsemane (Arrival at late 2nd watch which is from 9pm to 12am; Prayer at the first part of 3rd Watch between 12am and 2am)
Mar 14:32 And they came to a place called Gethsemane. And He said to His taught ones, “Sit here while I pray.”
Mar 14:33 And He took with Him Kěpha, and Ya‛aqoḇ, and Yoḥanan, and He began to be greatly amazed, and to be deeply distressed.
Mar 14:34 And He said to them, “My being is exceedingly grieved, even to death. Stay here and watch.”
The prayer is listed in John 17 before His arrest
4. Judas and soldiers came there with lanterns and torches which shows it was dark (still part of 3rd watch as it also says Yahusha found his disciples eyes heavy with sleep)
Job 33:14 & 15 says EL speaks once or twice, though one does not notice it....when deep sleep falls upon men, and here Yahusha woke them up twice to pray (the third time He woke them up was when Judas came with the soldiers to arrest Him)
Mat 26:43 And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.
Job 33:14 For Ěl does speak once, or twice – though one does not notice it –
Job 33:15 in a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, while slumbering on a bed
Mar 14:37 And He came and found them sleeping, and said to Kěpha, “Shim‛on, are you sleeping? You were not able to watch one hour!
Mar 14:38 “Watch and pray, lest you enter into trial. The spirit indeed is eager, but the flesh is weak.”
Mar 14:39 And again He went away and prayed, and spoke the same words.
Mar 14:40 And having returned, He found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to answer Him.
Mar 14:41 And He came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! The hour has come. See, the Son of Aḏam is being delivered up into the hands of the sinners.
Joh 18:3 Yehuḏah, then, having received the company of soldiers, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, and torches, and weapons.
Parable of the wise and foolish virgins
In the parable of the wise and foolish virgins, they all slumbered and slept & at midnight there was a cry that the bridegroom is coming. Midnight to 3am is the third watch i.e. 12am to 3am, when the foolish virgins went to buy oil and the bridegroom came and they found the door shut on them.
Mat 25:5 “Now while the bridegroom took time, they all slumbered and slept (in the 2nd watch).
Mat 25:6 “And at midnight a cry was heard, ‘See, the bridegroom is coming, go out to meet him!’
Mat 25:7 “Then all those maidens rose up and trimmed their lamps.
Mat 25:8 “And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’
Mat 25:9 “But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, indeed, there would not be enough for us and you. Instead, go to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’
Mat 25:10 “And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut.
5. Kepha denied Yahusha at cock crowing which is a transition from the third watch i.e. 12am to 3am to the fourth watch i.e. 3am to 6am.
Luk 22:60 But Kěpha said, “Man, I do not know what you are saying!” And immediately, while he was still speaking, a cock crowed.
Luk 22:61 And the Master turned and looked at Kěpha, and Kěpha remembered the word of the Master, how He had said to him, “Before a cock crows, you shall deny Me three times.”
The Psalmist says Psa 119:62 At midnight I rise to give thanks to You, For Your righteous right-rulings.
Hence, we see first Yahusha speaks of 4 watches and says He says to all to watch for they wouldn't know when He would come. He then narrows it down to the 2nd and 3rd watch of the night, and through a thorough exegesis of scripture in comparison we find a further narrowing down to the third watch which was a dark hour and Yahusha Himself tells the chief priests, captains of the temple, and the elders "it is your hour, and the power of darkness''
Luk 22:52 Then Yahusha said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, you come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?
Luk 22:53 When I was daily with you in the temple, you stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour and the power of darkness.
And immediately after this the Kepha's denial instances took place with a cock crowing.
Looking at Image 3. i.e. Daniel's 70th week we see the principle which we read in Lev 26:18, 21,24,28 where Yahuah says "if you walk contrary to me and not listen to me, I will punish you 7 times plague's for your sins"
Hence, we see 1260 days where the 2 witnesses witness clothed in sackcloth, synonymous with the Covenant woman fleeing into the wilderness for 1260 days. Then we see the beast that arises out of the sea killing the 2 witnesses and he was given authority for 42 months which is 42 x 30 days = 1260 days. The 2 witnesses bodies lies on the streets for 3.5 days spiritually termed as 'Sodom and Egypt' where our ADON was impaled. This is synonymous with the Covenant woman given wings of a great eagle as the dragon comes to persecute her being thrown out of the heavenlies and she is nourished for time, times and dividing of time i.e. 1260 days. In the Image 3. as it was told to Daniel "And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease..." (Daniel 9:27), I have shown the middle of the week thus dividing the 1260 days on either side. Now lets to the maths.
1260 + 1260 = 2520 days. 2520/7 (one week) = 360
We read in Lev 26: 18,21,24,28 punishment 7 times
360 x 7 = 2520 days
2520 days fits perfectly into a Shemitah into a Shemitah Yahusha Himself went through which was the dark hour as Yahusha tells chief priests, captains of the temple and elders of the Sanhedrin and they are the ones who occupied the principalities and powers being controlled by ha shatan as man of sin, just as Judas is called as 'son of perdition' and in Hebrew its termed as 'ban ha abbadon' & Greek 'apolyon'
Joh 17:12 “When I was with them in the world, I was guarding them in Your Name which You have given Me, and I watched over them, and not one of them perished except the son of perdition/ἀπώλεια apoleia G684, that the Scripture might be filled.
Rev 9:11 And they have over them a sovereign, the messenger of the pit of the deep, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apolluon/Ἀπολλύων Apolluōn G623.
The Greek words ἀπώλεια apoleia is rooted in ἀπολλύω apollyō, and Ἀπολλύων Apolluōn , it is also derived from the same root. So they all come from the same verbal idea of destruction/perishing.
Yahusha made a public spectacle of the principalities and powers through His prayer and sacrifice for our sins. There was a switch in the heavenlies as the heavenly pattern was purified with a better sacrifice than bulls and goats & He entered the True Tabernacle not made with hands, but with His own blood, to appear for us.
Rev 15:5 And after this I looked and saw the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Witness in the heaven was opened.
Rev 15:6 And out of the Dwelling Place came the seven messengers having the seven plagues, dressed in clean bright linen, and having their chests girded with golden bands.
Rev 15:7 And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven messengers seven golden bowls filled with the wrath of Elohim who lives forever and ever.
Rev 15:8 And the Dwelling Place was filled with smoke from the esteem of Elohim and from His power, and no one was able to enter the Dwelling Place until the seven plagues of the seven messengers were ended.
The seven seals, seven trumpets and seven bowls of wrath are all intertwined and one is related to the one of the other until the sevens.
Rev 11:15 And the seventh messenger sounded, and there came to be loud voices in the heaven, saying, “The reign of this world has become the reign of our Master, and of His Messiah, and He shall reign forever and ever!”
Rev 11:16 And the twenty-four elders sitting before Elohim on their thrones fell on their faces and worshipped Elohim,
Rev 11:17 saying, “We give You thanks, O יהוה Ěl Shaddai, the One who is and who was and who is coming, because You have taken Your great power and reigned.
Rev 11:18 “And the nations were enraged, and Your wrath has come, and the time of the dead to be judged, and to give the reward to Your servants the prophets and to the set-apart ones, and to those who fear Your Name, small and great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”
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.
Rev 11:19-The Dwelling Place of Elohim was opened in the heaven and the ark of His covenant was seen in the Dwelling Place when the 7th messenger sounded, it was shut when the 7 messengers with the bowls of wrath came out from the Dwelling Place. Hence, we see that they are intertwined in a loop of 7's.
It's a spiritual warfare Yahusha won by His own blood and to help us understand, its spoken in Rev 12 that Michael and his messengers fought with ha shatan and his messengers and ousted them from heaven and ha shatan when thrown down went to persecute the woman. How do you suppose this war was fought? With clubs and swords? That's how a carnal mind thinks. Michael in Hebrew means 'He who is EL' and He is the One spoken about who in latter times will stand for His people and He is none other than Yahusha.
Rev 12:7 And there came to be fighting in the heaven: Miḵa’ěl and his messengers fought against the dragon. And the dragon and his messengers fought,
Rev 12:8 but they were not strong enough, nor was a place found for them in the heaven any longer.
Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was thrown out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who leads all the world astray. He was thrown to the earth, and his messengers were thrown out with him.
Dan 12:1 “Now at that time Miḵa’ěl shall stand up, the great/gadol prince/sar who is standing over the sons of your people. And there shall be a time of distress, such as never was since there was a nation, until that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, every one who is found written in the book,
There is only one great prince and He is Yahusha Ha Mashiyach.
Col 2:15 Having stripped the principalities and the authorities, He/Yahusha made a public display of them, having prevailed over them in it.
Eph 6:11 Put on the complete armour of Elohim, for you to have power to stand against the schemes of the devil.
Eph 6:12 Because we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against authorities, against the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual matters of wickedness in the heavenlies.
And the watch to watch and pray is a 'guard watch' which Yahusha asked His disciples to pray and they slumbered and slept at the darkest hour. But He was always mindful of the one watch in the night and Psalms 90:4 the 1000 years is as a watch in the night. When Yahusha was on earth in His earthly ministry He mostly prayed the whole night.
Luk 6:12 And in those days it came to be that He went out to the mountain to pray, and was spending the night in prayer to Elohim.
Mat 14:23 And having dismissed the crowds, He went up to the mountain by Himself to pray. And when evening had come, He was alone there.
Mat 14:24 But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, agitated by the waves, for the wind was against it.
Mat 14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night (3am to 6am) יהושע went to them, walking on the sea.
Mar 1:35 And having risen very early in the morning, while still dark, He went out, and went away to a lonely place, and there He prayed.
Luk 5:16 But He was often withdrawing Himself to lonely places and praying.
Heb 5:7 who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His reverent fear,
Heb 5:8 though being a Son, He learned obedience by what He suffered.
He asks Kepha, couldn't you watch with me for one hour?
Mat 26:40 And He came to the taught ones and found them asleep, and said to Kěpha, “So, were you not able to watch with Me one hour?
1Th 5:4 But you, brothers, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.
1Th 5:5 For you are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.
1Th 5:6 So, then, we should not sleep, as others do, but we should watch and be sober.
1Th 5:7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.
The guard is not waking up at 12am and praying until 3am, but a transition from darkness to light in His resurrection in the morning watch. We saw on Day 1 of creation Elohim separated the Light from the Darkness and was prophetic of Adam being separated into darkness and in Adam all die. Hence, Adam and mankind can only be transitioned to LIGHT in Mashiyach. As 2 Corn 4:6 and John 1 speaks of Him being that Light which shone out of darkness. We are now sons of the light and sons of the day and not of the night in Mashiyach.
Luk 22:31 And the Master said, “Shim‛on, Shim‛on! See, Satan has asked for you to sift you as wheat.
Luk 22:32 “But I have prayed for you, that your belief should not fail. And when you have turned, strengthen your brothers.”
Luk 22:33 And he said to Him, “Master, I am prepared to go with You, both to prison and to death.”
Luk 22:34 And He said, “I say to you, Kěpha, the cock shall not crow at all today until you have denied three times that you know Me.
Psa 90:4 For a thousand years in Your eyes Are like cut short into a day/ yom 𐤉𐤍 H3117 ethmol 𐤀𐤕𐤌𐤅𐤋 H865, Or like a watch in the night.
Yom 𐤉𐤍 in Hebrew understanding can stand for a day/year/season (please look up the word in Strongs)
Ethmol 𐤀𐤕𐤌𐤅𐤋 H865: From alaph tau 𐤀𐤕 H853 & mul which means 'circumcise' H4135 which also means 'cut short'
Hence, the Hebrew idea is of a 1,000 years in Yahusha's eyes (He was the one guarding the watch) are like a cutting short of a time period to a watch.
The Yahudim continued their animal sacrifices as they missed the time of their visitation.
Daniel 9:27......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.
Mat 23:37 “Yerushalayim, Yerushalayim, killing the prophets and stoning those who are sent to her! How often I wished to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, but you would not!
Mat 23:38 “See! Your house is left to you laid waste
Luk 19:41 And as He came near, He saw the city and wept over it,
Luk 19:42 saying, “If you only knew even today, the matters for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.
Luk 19:43 “Because days shall come upon you when your enemies shall build a rampart around you, and surround you and press you on all sides,
Luk 19:44 and dash you to the ground, and your children within you. And they shall not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.”
Similarly the so called Hebrew roots movement in their carnality have gone back to the physical signs in observing appointed times in pagan lands, Christianity and its offshoots have become complete lawless, changing His nature, seeing OT as a history records and only focusing on a new covenant without understanding the renewed covenant was made with the same houses of YasharEL and Yahudah. These are signs of man of sin ruling, a dark hour, when the Dwelling place in heaven is shut until the 7th and final trumpet is blown. I would like to present a final chart depicting the Renewed Covenant based on Daniel's final week which Yahusha Himself went through
Image 4. Final week symbolism
Our focus was on the 3rd watch of the night and we saw 3 watches of the night out of which Yahusha asks Peter "were you not able to watch with me one hour?''
Summary in Pointers
- 7,000-Year Divine Plan: Creation’s seven days symbolize 7 millennia (Psalm 90:4, 2 Peter 3:8), with 6,000 years for mankind’s era and 1,000 years for Yahusha’s reign.
- Day-Year Prophetic Key: Scriptures employ a bidirectional "day for a year" (Numbers 14:34, Ezekiel 4:4-6) and "year for a day" (Isaiah 61:2, Psalm 90:4) principle for prophetic timelines.
- 120 Jubilees Framework: Genesis 6:3’s 120 years represent 120 jubilees (50 years each), totaling 6,000 years of human history.
- 4,000 Years to Yahusha: Spanning 80 jubilees, this period covers:
- Adam to Abraham.
- Abraham’s seed in Egypt.
- Exodus to the Promised Land.
- Judges to Samuel.
- Kings of Yahudah to Babylonian captivity.
- Captivity to Yahusha’s ministry.
- Daniel’s 70 Weeks Prophecy: Initiated by Artaxerxes’ decree in 457 BC (Daniel 9:25):
- 7 weeks (49 years) to 408 BC for restoration.
- 62 weeks (434 years) to 27 AD, marking Yahusha’s ministry at age 30 (Luke 3:23).
- Crucifixion in Spring 31 AD, after a 3½-year ministry.
- 70th Week Significance: Yahusha confirms the covenant (Daniel 9:27) over 2,520 days (1260 + 1260), reflecting tribulation periods (Revelation 11-13).
- 2,000 Years Post-Yahusha: 40 jubilees from 27-28 AD to 2027-2028 AD signal His expected second coming.
- Visions of Yahusha: Daniel 12’s man in linen and Revelation’s symbols (e.g., two witnesses, 7 seals) portray Yahusha as the overseer of time’s fulfillment.
- Tribulation Timeframes: 1260 days correlate with the two witnesses’ testimony and the beast’s 42-month rule, tied to Yahuah’s sevenfold judgment (Leviticus 26:28).
- Third Watch Vigilance: Yahusha’s Gethsemane prayer during the third watch (12 AM–3 AM) symbolizes His sacrificial hour and calls believers to watchfulness (Matthew 26:40).
- Culmination: Approaching 6,000 years, Yahusha’s return in 2027-2028 AD will usher in the 7th millennium, an eternal rest under His reign.
