Has anyone else heard of this, that God may have planned out 7049 years for humanity? I recently started looking into it and the numbers lay out pretty well with scripture.
Consider the factors: 1, 7, 19, 53, 133, 371, 1007, 7049
When we look back over all of human history, we should see evidence of God’s engineering of time, as well as his meticulous design, which we see throughout the physical creation.
1-year for the Earth to orbit the sun
7-year Shemitah cycle
19-year Lunar cycle
There were 53 days from the Crucifixion of Christ to Pentecost.
Every 133 years, the 7-year Shemitah cycle and the 19-year Lunar cycle resynch. This is also the cycle of the Swift-Tuttle comet which gives the earth the annual Perseids meteor shower.
The duration of Adam's life (exactly 133 Shemitah cycles, 49 Lunar cycles).
There were 371-days (53 weeks) from the start of the flood until God called Noah and his family out of the ark.
The Jubilee that Christ proclaimed in Luke 4, started in the last year of the fourth 1007 year cycle (like a flame on top of the center candle of a menorah).
The Thousand Year Reign of Christ will begin in the first year of the 7th 1007-year cycle. From 6043-7042, leaving one Shemitah cycle for Satan to be loosed, the Great White Throne Judgement, and the New Jerusalem.
Consider the gematria: 1+7+19+53+133+371+1007+7049 = 8640 (86 – Elohim, 40 – Time of Trial)
By the way, the last Lunar cycle before the thousand-year reign of Christ will start in the next year.
Check it out for yourself, let me know what you find.
Here is a monthly version of the last 19-year Metonic (Lunar) cycle before the Thousand Year Reign of Christ.
Concerning the chronology, I did the timeline straightforward from scripture.
All of the scripture references are listed together with the event and the year.
Interestingly, from the end of the flood (1658 AM) to the Abraham/Isaac sacrifice (2088 AM) was 430 years.
Concerning Galatians 3:17, from the confirming of the covenant
(Abraham/Isaac sacrifice - 2088 AM) to the Exodus (2518 AM) was 430 years.
So, from the end of the flood (1658 AM) to the Exodus (2518 AM) was 860 years, divided in the middle by the Abraham/Isaac sacrifice.
Concerning 1 Kings 6:1, from the Exodus (2518 AM) to when Solomon laid the foundation for
the temple in the 4th year of his reign (3090 AM) was 572 years, remove the 93 years under
oppression during the time of the Judges and you get the 480 years (inclusive).
Concerning Acts 13:20, through the time of the Judges beginning with Joshua at the Jordan River crossing (2558 AM), to Samuel anointing Saul the first king of Israel (3007 AM) is 450 years.
Interestingly, David would have been born in 3017 AM.
This morning I finished a separate timeline for the divided kingdom (Israel and Judah)
and was pleased to see that it matched my original start and end years (Solomon's death in 3127 AM to the start of Babylonian captivity in 3478 AM).
Concerning Daniel 9:24-26, from the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem (3548 AM)
unto the Messiah the prince (being cut off - 4031 AM) is 483 years.
This puts the birth of Christ (3997 AM) at 3 BC, and His resurrection at (4031 AM) 32 AD.
Just sharing some of the most recognized Biblical events, however, analyzing the events
of scripture on the factors of 7049 has been a true blessing.
I just started with year 0-1 (creation) and then followed scripture, plotting things as it says. Paying attention to cardinal/ordinal numbers, of course.
The flood was 1657, the Exodus was 2518, the Jubilee count started in 2558.
The life of Jesus: 3997 (birth), 4009 (12 years old), 4027 (Luke 4), 4028-29(30th Jubilee), 4031(crucifixion, resurrection, ascension, Pentecost).
Concerning the 19-year Metonic (Lunar) cycle, you are correct, but no year-based time measurement is exact.
I'm pleased to see that you enjoy the tetrads too. It appears that in the fullness of time (7049) there will have been 13 tetrad cycles (210 total tetrads). You may find it interesting that (according to eclipsewise.com) the last tetrad is 'scheduled' for 2987-2988 Gregorian (6988-6989), which happens to leave 53 years between the last tetrad, and Satan's release (7043). Not my fault, that's just the way it worked out.
A couple of other interesting things about the tetrad cycles:
The flood was in the 3rd gap, Christ came in the 7th gap.
Notice the purple in 6678, that's the end of the 18th 371-cycle. You can see a couple of others in the diagram as well. However, there are only two of these that coincide with a tetrad, the 7th 371-cycle just happened to be the 37th tetrad before Christ. It also happened in the 137th 19-year Metonic (Lunar) cycle. There are 86 tetrads 'scheduled' from Christ to the New Jerusalem.
Concerning that last Shemita cycle, there's Satan's release to deceive the nations, the Great White Throne Judgement, and New Jerusalem. None of this was forced or wedged in by me. It just seems to make sense that time would have a logical structure, and the events of scripture would occur in logical sequences. I'm a software engineer, so when I query the timeline according to scripture, some things naturally stand out.
Seems like you enjoy that too.
Concerning the return of Christ, the 71st Jubilee is 6037-6038 (2037).
I just don't know where you acquired your chronology numbers. As I said before, there are 38 years of difference between yours and mine regarding the first year of Jesus' ministry (29-30 AD in my opinion). That throws the rest of it off. You can see where I got my numbers by going to the article/s I mentioned (Masoretic Bible verses and confirmed secular sources such as the fall of Jerusalem in 586 BC, etc.). The 19-year Metonic cycle is not perfect regarding it being equal to exactly 19 Gregorian years. The recurrence is not perfect, and by precise observation, the Metonic cycle is defined as 235 synodic months and is just 2 hours, 4 minutes and 58 seconds longer than 19 tropical years. Over time that adds up.
Regarding the tetrads, you are correct, amazingly there are 531 days (+ _ hours) between the first and fourth tetrads, except of course when a leap year occurs (then it is 532 days), with 177 days between the first two, the second and third, and the third and fourth. The last tetrad was in 2014-2015. The next tetrad will be in 2032-2033. The last two lunar eclipses in 2033 will occur on April 14, 2033 (Nisan 14 - Passover) and October 8, 2033 (Tishri 15 -Tabernacles). Blood-red moons on the Feasts of the Lord are always ominous.
As far as Revelation 20:7 is concerned, it does occur after the 1000 years are finished. Revelation 20:3 says, "But after these things he (Satan) must be released for a little while." How much is a little while is anybody's guess. It could be a few days, months, or years. You seem to think it is for seven years, so it will fit your 7049 years. It's possible, I suppose. According to your calculations, we are 13 years from the start of the Tribulation (if you believe in the seven-year Tribulation) and 20 years away from the second advent. I believe we are much closer than that.

Regarding Luke 4:19, I am not convinced that is a Jubilee year. Regardless, my chronology has the year at about 3990 AD (anno domini), some 38 years difference from 4028 AD. According to my chronology Epochs in Bible Chronology – 6000 Years of Mankind (rev310.net) we are now (2022) at the year 5978 from creation. If this is correct, or even close, we still have 65 more years to go until the Millennium in 6043 AD (according to the above thesis). I hope that doesn't mean we have to wait 58 years before the Rapture! I'm not sure what is meant by 2023 being the last Lunar cycle before the thousand-year reign of Christ. Other than that, I like it.
