I recently drew out a spreadsheet in order to see what a year with 360 days would actually look like. The original question in my mind was, 'on which day of the week did the Flood begin and end?' Fortunately, that wasn't difficult to figure out once the spreadsheet was done. The math is pretty straight forward. Anyway, it turns out that there's a lot more going on in a year of only 360 days, and it all reflects the masterful engineering of the Lord Jesus. Enjoy..!

The text of the attached file is also here below. Many Christians subscribe to the theory that the fullness of time will be a flat 7000 years. This generally comes from the creation week. Since there were six days of creation and one day of rest, that translates to six thousand years of man’s struggle and one thousand years of Christ’s rule. There’s plenty of scripture to back up the idea... Most commonly, 2 Peter 3:8 “…one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” and Hosea 6:2 “After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.” This passage in Hosea is what gives many of us the idea that Christ will not return until after two-thousand years. We tend to call it the ‘age of grace’ or ‘the time of the gentiles.’ I agree with the general idea of seven millennia, but a flat 7000 years does not work with scripture. Allow me to explain. Revelation 20:1-3, 7-8 “1. And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 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 fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.” Also… “7. And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8. And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.” From this passage we see that Satan is not released until after the thousand-year reign of Christ has ‘expired’. This means that either the thousand-year reign of Christ begins before the 6000th year, or that the thousand-year reign of Christ is not a literal 1000 years, or that the fullness of time will be more than a flat 7000 years. I reject the first possibility because I (like so many others) have read the Bible and mapped it out on a timeline. Christ was born in 3997AM and was crucified and resurrected in 4031AM. It seems that many others have come to similar conclusions, all of which shows that Christ lived well past the 4000-year mark. Thus, if He doesn’t return for 2000 years, then the date of His return must be after the year 6000, which won’t leave enough time for a full thousand-year reign of Christ. Not to mention the ‘little season’ where Satan is loosed to deceive the nations, the Great White Throne Judgement and New Jerusalem. I also reject the second possibility. There is nothing in the text of Revelation 20 that would lead a reasonable person to believe that the thousand-year reign of Christ means anything less than a literal 1000 years. So, that leaves the third possibility. There will have to be more than just 7000 years, but how much more? I’m glad you asked… Remember that ‘little season’ when Satan is to be loosed? It turns out that scripture doesn’t use that phrase very often, but before we see how scripture defines a ‘little season’, let’s take a quick look at how scripture defines a ‘long season’. Fortunately, it doesn’t use that phrase much either. The term ‘long season’ only appears twice and has the same Strong’s definition (H3117). Joshua 24:7 “And when they cried unto the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season.” Here we can see that a ‘long season’ is clearly defined as a 40-year span of time. 2 Chronicles 15:3 “Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.” Here we have to read the surrounding context (2 Chronicles 14-15:10) to figure it out. From the start of Jeroboam’s reign (King of Israel) until the 15th year of Asa’s reign (King of Judah) was 34 years. So, a ‘long season’, as shown by examples in scripture is about 34 to 40 years. The phrase ‘little season’ only appears twice, both times in the Revelation and both times with the same Strong’s definition (G5550). Revelation 6:11 “And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.” Here we see the only other use of the phrase ‘little season’ and it appears during the Fifth Seal. All seven of the seals are associated with the time of the Tribulation, which spans a total of seven years. This Fifth Seal event must occur at some point in the middle since it resulted from the first four seals. Therefore, a ‘little season’ is shown by example in scripture to be less than 7 years, probably 3 to 5 years. So, this brings us back to the question, how long will Satan be loosed to deceive the nations? According to scripture, less than seven years. According to Revelation 20:7, Satan will be loosed as soon as the 1000 years of Christ’s reign have ‘expired’. So, we can add the ‘less than 7 years’ to the 1000 years and considering that there isn’t anything left afterwards but the Great White Throne Judgement and New Jerusalem, I believe that this indicates no more than 1007 years. But wait, there’s more… The time after the thousand-year reign of Christ is not the only occurrence where scripture indicates a span of time beyond the 1000yrs=day as mentioned in 2 Peter 3:8. Let’s take another look at Hosea 6:2 “After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.” If you think about it, ‘after two days’, is the same as ‘in the third day’. But this is indicating something else. What it’s saying is that after 2000 years (2 days) God will ‘revive’ Israel. This will be done through the time of Jacobs trouble (the Tribulation). It’s referring to the 144,000, which are comprised of 12,000 from each of the tribes of Israel. So, the Tribulation will take place after ‘two days’ (2000 years) from Christ, and before His thousand-year reign. The thousand-year reign of Christ is the ‘third day’ mentioned in the passage. Israel will indeed be raised up and live in His sight, along with all other believers that have been saved by His grace! This shows that the ‘day = 1000 years’ of 2 Peter 3:8 is true, but that there is another seven years of real time that passes in between. As indicated in scripture, the fullness of time cannot be a flat 7000 years, but rather, it will be 7 spans of 1007 years, or a total of 7049 years. ‘But wait’, I can hear you say, ‘it could be a little less, or a little more. Why 1007 years?’ Again, I’m glad that you asked… Let’s take a look at the beginning and the end of time, through the lens of 2 Peter 3:8 According to Genesis 1 and 2, there were 6 days of creation and then one day when God rested (the first Shabbat). Genesis 3 picks up immediately after that day of rest (the 7th day). In the early morning of the 8th day is when the serpent deceived Eve. After-which, God called to them while He was walking in the ‘cool of the day’. Genesis 3:15 is where the messianic prophecy is given. So, at the beginning there were 7 days. In that 7th day mankind was at peace with God. The very next day Satan came to deceive. In Revelation 20 we read that after Christ returns, Satan will be bound 1000 years. A thousand-years that Christ, the Prince of Peace, will reign over the whole earth. Once that time has expired, Satan will be loosed into the last 7 years to deceive the nations. As it says in 2 Peter 3:8, ‘…one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.’ So, one day (the 7th day) is with the Lord as a thousand years (1000-year reign of Christ), and a thousand years as one day. The messianic prophecy that began in Genesis 3:15 is finished in Revelation 20:15. So, as the 7th day (the first Shabbat) was preceded by the days of creation, the 1000-year reign of Christ will be followed by 7 years in which sin is dealt with and the heavens and earth are passed away. I believe that Jesus created the Heavens and the Earth, and all that in them is. I also believe that He designed everything from atoms to asteroid belts. This includes time itself. Jesus is the Master Engineer! Everything was designed by Him, and I believe that He has left His fingerprints all over everything, including the timeline. If we look, He will reveal them to us. One way to see this design would be to look at the increments that time has been divided into. Like the hands of a clock. Hours, minutes, seconds. These increments must be relevant to both the physical world and scriptural events. The Appendix below contains a list of every year from 7000 to 7080 and the factors (numbers that divide evenly into the base number) for each of them. A quick survey of those numbers and their factors will show you that very few of them (only one really-7049) meets the criteria. Each of the factors of 7049 are relevant to our world and the timeline of scripture. Please compare the information below with the other numbers and their factors. The point is not only that 7000 years is not enough, but that the factors of 7049 reveal the glory of Jesus’ masterful engineering of time itself. Here is a very small sample of what the research has revealed concerning the factors of 7049. 1 – The unit of measure is one year (Relevant to the Sun) 7 – The Shemitah Cycle (6:1 work:rest) (Relevant to the Earth) 19 - The Metonic Lunar Cycle (Relevant to the Moon) 53 - The number of days from the Crucifixion of Christ to Pentecost 133 - The years when the Shemitah Cycle and Lunar Cycle resynchronize 371 - The number of days that Noah’s family spent in the Ark (Flood) 1007 - The thousand-year reign of Christ to New Jerusalem 7049 - The number of years that Jesus will have worked in order to secure our salvation If you add all of the factors together it comes to 8640. 86 is the gematria value of the Hebrew letters that form the name of God ‘Elohim’. 40 is the gematria value that expresses a ‘time of trial’. 7049 is indeed ‘The time of Elohim’s trial.’ APPENDIX 1: 7080 -

The attached file contains some interesting things that I've come across while researching the 7049 Timeline. I'm hoping that this format is a little easier to understand.

The attached file contains the full version of the timeline that is based on the factors of 7049 years. This is not an exhaustive timeline (it does not list every event mentioned in the Bible), it does contain more than is needed to show that a simple non-reference Bible has enough information to plot Biblical history from Creation to New Jerusalem. It also contains the events of the modern state of Israel, marks the end of this age, the thousand year reign of Christ, and the seven years after that cover Revelation 20-22. This updated file contains separate tabs for the timing of the birth of Abraham. The A-70 tabs are based on Abraham being born in the 70th year of his father (Terah). The A-130 tab are based on Abraham being born in the 130th year of his father (Terah). Neither version contains any differences besides the time from Abraham's birth to the death of Joseph. This is provided with hope that it will edify believers in Jesus Christ and strengthen the faith of those who will search the scriptures, knowing that His word is truth.

When was Set born? Genesis 5: 1. This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; 2. Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. 3. And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth: Adam and Eve were created on the sixth day, of the first year. In what year was Seth born? If your reply contains, 'most scholars' then you lose. LOL

Think about any struggle that you've faced in your life. If you were made aware of how your adversary would end up, would that have changed the way handled things? I know that it would have changed a lot of things for me. What if it was God himself who told you how your adversary would end up? Genesis 3:14-15 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Romans 16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. Strong's Definition (G4862) of 'bruise' is to crush completely, to shatter, to be broken to shivers. Ezekiel 28:11-19 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more. Isaiah 14:5-27 The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers. He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth. The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing. Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us. Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet. Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned. Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities. For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD. I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts. The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand: That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders. This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations. For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back? Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. It is written! The Living God had declared the deceiver's end, IT IS WRITTEN! Is this your end as well? No, He has written something else about you... Romans 8:1, 14-18 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Luke 10:18-20 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. 1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. So the next time you struggle, remember what Jesus said... it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

Names are not being added to the Lamb's Book of Life. This may sound strange since the common belief is that our names are added to the Book of Life when we become saved, but scripture does not say that at all, in fact, scripture only ever indicates that names are being removed, 'blotted out'. It appears that all of humanity was written down in the Lamb's Book of Life before the foundation of the earth, but those who ultimately reject the Living God and die in their sin are 'blotted out' of the book. Removed completely, leaving no trace that their name had ever been written there. At the Great White Throne Judgement, the Lamb's Book of Life will be the ultimate reference for who is alive in Christ, and a complete manifest of those who have a part in New Jerusalem. Consider what scripture has to say concerning the Lamb's Book of Life: There are 17 verses, found in 8 different books of the Bible, that pertain to the Lamb's Book of Life. There are 8 verses, found in 8 different books of the Bible, that contain the word blot and pertain to the Lamb's Book of Life. ___________________________ *Contains the word blot Exodus *32:32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. *32:33 And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.

This question came up recently, why is the God of the Bible known as ‘the Living God’? My first thought was, well, he is literally called ‘the Living God’ a few dozen times in scripture, so, there ya go. But that’s a little too obvious. So, I gave it some more thought, and this is what I came up with... The God of the Bible is the God of life. That’s evident from the very beginning. The first chapter of Genesis is all about God creating a place where life can exist and as soon as it was ready, He made man in His own image and breathed life into him. So, on the flipside of the coin, it would make sense that rejecting the living God, would naturally lead to death, and anything that was dead could not exist in the presence of the God of life. This brought up another question that had popped in and out of my head over the years, why was death the punishment for eating an apple? Seems a little harsh. Of course, I’m referring to Adam and Eve and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. According to scripture (1 Timothy 2:14), Eve was deceived, disbelieved God’s Word and then disobeyed God’s Word. Adam was not deceived, he simply disobeyed God’s Word. Genesis 3:3 ‘…God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.’ Genesis 3:4 ‘And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:’ Genesis 3:6 'And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.' Considering that He is the God of life, and that all things were created by His Word (John 1:1-4), it would follow that not believing God’s Word and not obeying God’s Word would naturally result in death. Which is exactly what happened. So, skipping past the sacrifices, life is in the blood, the necessity of Jesus substitutionary sacrifice on the cross, it can now be understood why our salvation is only by His grace, through faith in Him and obedience to His Word (Ephesians 2:8, Hebrews 11, James 2:26). So, it's not so much that He is punishing us for disbelief or disobedience. Death is the natural consequence of rejecting life. It stands to reason, how can something that is dead exist in the presence of the Living God? It can't. Thus, the redemption plan. What are your thoughts concerning this question?

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.
