THE SEVENTH DAY

THE PROPHECY CONTINUES…

Genesis 2:1-3
“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he RESTED on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” 

THE 7th THOUSAND-YEAR PERIOD

As you have discovered from Day 1 through Day 6, God’s prophecy has been accurate for the past 6,000 years. This next 1,000 years will be a period of REST reflecting that of the 7th Day of creation. 

BUT WAIT! WHAT?

What would a 1,000-year period of REST look like? The first 6,000 years has required physical WORK, blood, sweat, tears and heartbreak. The last 1,000 years will be filled with peace, joy, justice, no locks on the doors, a King who adores, protects, provides abundantly, and reigns over us. Complete REST from the evil one.  

“Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as before…” 2 Samuel 7:10

God does not want you to be ignorant! As events unfold, keep your ears and eyes open. God has no intention of leaving you in the dark – literally and figuratively. Eternity is a long time to be wrong.

TIMELINE
According to Biblical History

1st thousand-year period = 0 (Creation) -999
2nd thousand-year period = 1000-1999
3rd thousand-year period = 2000-2999
4th thousand-year period = 3000-3999
BIRTH OF CHRIST
5th thousand-year period = 4000-4999 (0-999 on our calendar)
6th thousand-year period = 5000-5999 (1000-1999 on our calendar)
7th thousand-year period = 6000-7000 (2000-2999 on our calendar)

There were 4,000 years before Christ was born and 2,000 years have passed since he was born. Therefore, 6,000 years have passed according to Biblical history. Matching the Genesis prophecy, the first 6 days have passed and we’re already 26 years into the 7th day.

Hosea, Daniel and Matthew

“But beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. [Not sure he could have been more clear.] The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness, but is long-suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:8-9

Hosea’s Prophecy

The Old Testament prophet Hosea wrote: “After two days he will revive us; in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Then we shall know, if we follow on to know the Lord, that his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come to us as the rain, as the latter and former rain to the earth.” Hosea 6:2-3.

According to Hosea, after two days (2,000 years after Christ was born) he will revive us, and in the third day (the 3rd thousand-year period after Christ was born) we would be raised up.

Hosea’s prophecy couldn’t apply to Christ rising from the grave on the third day, because it says he will “raise us up”, not Jesus. But if we combine 2 Peter 3:8-9 and Hosea 6:2-3, we can say that two thousand years after Jesus’ birth (the 5th and 6th thousand-year periods) he will revive us; in the third thousandth year (7th thousand-year period) he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight – if we know him and follow him as Lord.

Daniel’s Prophecy  

“And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the [end times] kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. And whereas you saw iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men, but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Forasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold, the great God has made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.” Daniel 2:42-45.

Matthew’s Prophecy

“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations (the Great Worldwide Revival now occurring), and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:13. Charlie Kirk’s ministry kicked off the current worldwide revival.

“So likewise, when you shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Truly I say to you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” Matthew 24:32-35.

1948 Prophecy

The period from Adam to Abraham was 1948 years. God called Abram from his generational country to go to a promised land flowing with milk and honey that would become the birthplace of God’s nation, Israel. Through God’s strategic plan, the 12 tribes (sons) of Israel were exiled from their country until May 14, 1948, when Israel signed its Declaration of Independence. This was the rebirth of the fig tree. Is it a coincidence that the year was 1948 that God brought his people back into the land he promised Abraham? Coincidence? Or God’s Plan? 

Fig trees in the middle east are a fruit-producing tree or shrub. The size of the tree, and its capacity to produce figs, depends mainly on the soil that the tree is rooted in. Typically, the fig tree blooms before sprouting its leaves in the spring, and normally would produce not one, but two crops of figs each year. This also aligns with God’s prophecy of the two “blooming” stages of the fig tree, to the two coming home celebrations to the Promised Land God gave his people (1) in 1948 and (2) during the Millennium, for those “rooted” in relationship with God through the Messiah.

God’s promise, his word, is that this current generation (those born after 1948) will see the coming of Christ. Prior to this special Millennium will be a worldwide preaching of God’s word that all nations will hear. This global revival will be followed by the rapture of God’s people, which will usher in a 7-year period of severe tribulation such as the world has never seen.

WHY NOW? God has made it clear.

“Then the Lord said to me, “Write my answer plainly on tablets, so that a runner can carry the correct message to others. This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed. “Look at the proud! They trust in themselves, and their lives are crooked. But the righteous will live by their faithfulness to God. Wealth is treacherous, and the arrogant are never at rest. They open their mouths as wide as the grave, and like death, they are never satisfied. In their greed they have gathered up many nations and swallowed many peoples.”  Habakkuk 2:2-5.

“Therefore, the Lord has rejected his people, the House of Jacob, because they are filled with customs from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.” Isaiah 2:6.

“An appalling and horrible thing is committed in the land; The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will you do in the end thereof?” Jeremiah 5:30.

“How is the faithful city become a harlot! It was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it, but now murderers. Your silver has become dross, your wine mixed with water. Your princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves; everyone loves bribes, and follows after rewards; they do not judge the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to them. Therefore, said the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will rid myself of my adversaries, and avenge myself of my enemies.” Isaiah 1:21-24.

“Behold, your people in the midst of you are women: the gates of your land shall be set wide open to your enemies…” Nahum 3:13.

“Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence; a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.” Psalm 50:3

“Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses; I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled. Destruction comes; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.” Ezekiel 7:24-25.

“The earth suffers for the sins of its people, for they have twisted God’s instructions, violated his laws, and broken his everlasting covenant.” Isaiah 24:5.

“And at that time, shall Michael stand up, the great prince who stands for the children of your people, and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time; and at that time your people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.” Daniel 12:1.

RAPTURE TIMINGS

In prophecy, the Festival of Trumpets points to the Rapture. The Feast of Trumpets, or Rosh Hashanah, is a feast to celebrate the fall harvest. The Feast of Trumpets is also a prophetic type and refers to the future harvest of God’s people. It is, therefore, most likely that the first Rapture would occur just prior to, or during Rosh Hashanah.

There are two specific references to “The Great Day of the Lord.” Two separate time periods: a dreadful day and a glorious day. Two separate events. How genius of God to let us know there will be TWO “Great Days of the Lord!”

 “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood 
before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.” Joel 2:31

“The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before 
that great and glorious day of the Lord arrives.” Acts 2;20

The first referenced rescue is a terrible day beginning the terrifying period of Tribulation. The second verse from Acts 2:20 refers to the “glorious” Day of the Lord, signifying the final victory over evil at the end of the Tribulation.

2026: There was an annual solar eclipse February 17, 2026, a total blood moon lunar eclipse March 2-3, 2026, a total solar eclipse August 12, 2026, and a dramatic near-total blood moon lunar eclipse on August 27-28 2026. Both the sun turning to darkness and the moon into blood will have occurred prior to Rosh Hashanah in 2026.

“And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which stands for the children of [God’s] people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time [God’s] people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.” Daniel 12:1

1^st RAPTURE

God has prepared a chamber for hiding his children during the last 7 years of severe tribulation here on earth prior to and during the Great and Terrible Day of the Lord. 

God’s people will be plucked up apparently, perhaps into God’s house. There are strong indications from 2 Corinthians 12:2 that God’s home is in the third heaven. We are given another snippet of information in Ezekiel from his conversation with Lucifer before he was “let go.” “I ordained and anointed you as the mighty angelic guardian. You had access to the holy mountain of God and walked among the stones of fire.” 

Ezekiel 28:14.“For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion. In the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.” Psalm 27:5

“Come, my people, enter into your chambers, and shut your doors about you. Hide yourself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation passes over. For behold, the Lord comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.” Isaiah 26:20-21.  

“Jesus said, My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself that where I am, you may be also. You know where I’m going and you know the way.” John 14:2-4.

^“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, do not be partakers of her sins, and do not receive her plagues.” Revelation 18:4.

“Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth. I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take away your crown.” Revelation 3:10-11.

God will transport his children into his care for the duration of the 7 years’ Tribulation period here on earth. This action perhaps will be similar to that of Philip after he baptized the Ethiopian Eunuch. He disappeared from the river and found himself in Azotus. Acts 8:5-40.

“Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.” Revelation 20:6 NIV.

ATONEMENT

WHY TRIBULATION? God wants everyone to come to him to repent and not to suffer. However, suffering often brings wisdom in understanding the power and blessings of our God. Atonement is a last chance survival for those who remain and endure the Tribulation after the 1st Rapture.

“Jesus said: I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me, have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life.” John 5:24.

“Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven. Don’t imagine that I came to bring peace to the earth! I came not to bring peace, but a sword.” Matthew 10:32-34.

TRIBULATION

“I will punish the world for its evil, the wicked for their sins. I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty and will humble the pride of the ruthless.” Isaiah 13:11.

“Behold I will stir up the Medes against them, who shall not regard silver, and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.” Isaiah 13:17.

“…The Lord has raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes for his purpose is against Babylon to destroy it, because it is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance of his temple.” Jeremiah 51:11.

“And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees’ excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.” Isaiah 13:17

“That terrible day of the Lord is near. Swiftly it comes—a day of bitter tears, a day when even strong men will cry out. It will be a day when the Lord’s anger is poured out—a day of terrible distress and anguish, a day of ruin and desolation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness, a day of trumpet calls and battle cries. Down go the walled cities and the strongest battlements! “Because you have sinned against the Lord, I will make you grope around like the blind. Your blood will be poured into the dust, and your bodies will lie rotting on the ground.” Zephaniah 1:14-17.

“I will utterly consume all things from off the land, said the Lord.” Zephaniah 1:2.

“Even if they dig down to the place of the dead, I will reach down and pull them up. Even if they climb up into the heavens, I will bring them down. Even if they hide at the very top of Mount Carmel, I will search them out and capture them. Even if they hide at the bottom of the ocean, I will send the sea serpent after them to bite them. Even if their enemies drive them into exile, I will command the sword to kill them there. I am determined to bring disaster upon them and not to help them.” Amos 9:2-6.

“For lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least kernel fall upon the earth. All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.” Amos 9:9-10

^“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered every kind: which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Jesus saith unto them, Have you understood all these things? They say unto him, Yes, Lord.” Matthew 47-51.

Tribulation Details: Book of Lamentations

2nd RAPTURE

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people who shall be left…”. Isaiah 11:11.

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16.

I would not recommend waiting for the 2nd Rapture to choose to accept Christ.

“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he has on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” Revelation 19:11-16.

The battle will end as Jesus, the Christ, the visible image of the invisible God steps in, and by his word, the Sword of the Spirit, ends Satan’s reign on earth.

TRIBULATION OVER
CONVERSATION DONE!

“And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 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.” Revelation 20:2-3.

“In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.” Daniel 7:13-14.

“In the last days, the mountain of the Lord’s house will be the highest of all—the most important place on earth. It will be raised above the other hills, and people from all over the world will stream there to worship. People from many nations will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of Jacob’s God. There he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the Lord’s teaching will go out from Zion; his word will go out from Jerusalem. The Lord will mediate between nations and will settle international disputes. They will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer fight against nation, nor train for war anymore.” Isaiah 2:2-4 NLT.

God will transform the world as we know it now into a spiritually peaceful kingdom here on the earth. The 3^rd temple in Jerusalem will be rebuilt and Jesus will sit on the throne for all to come and see (Ezekiel 40-48). “Then I saw thrones, and the people sitting on them had been given the authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony about Jesus and for proclaiming the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his statue, nor accepted his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They all came to life again, and they reigned with Christ for a thousand years.” Revelation 20:4.

“But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.” Revelation 20:5.

THE MILLENNIUM

“And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord.” Jeremiah 23:3-4

“And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ, and he shall reign for ever and ever.” Revelation 11:15

“I will make a covenant of peace with my people and drive away the dangerous animals from the land. Then they will be able to camp safely in the wildest places and sleep in the woods without fear. I will bless my people and their homes around my holy hill.” Ezekiel 34:25-26.

“Then will I turn to the peoples a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve him with one consent.” Zephaniah 3:9.

“In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, said the Lord that does this.  Behold, the days come, said the Lord, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that sows seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt. And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens and eat the fruit of them.  And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, said the Lord thy God.” Amos 9:11-15.

“Behold! I am creating new heavens and a new earth, and no one will even think about the old ones anymore. Be glad; rejoice forever in my creation! And look! I will create Jerusalem as a place of happiness. Her people will be a source of joy. I will rejoice over Jerusalem and delight in my people. And the sound of weeping and crying will be heard in it no more. No longer will babies die when only a few days old. No longer will adults die before they have lived a full life. No longer will people be considered old at one hundred! In those days people will live in the houses they build and eat the fruit of their own vineyards. For my people will live as long as trees, and my chosen ones will have time to enjoy their hard-won gains. They will not work in vain, and their children will not be doomed to misfortune.” From Isaiah 65:17-25.

Final Judgment

At the end of the 7,000^th year is the Final Judgment. Those who die before or during the final Tribulation battle – without trusting God – will sleep through the 1,000 years of rest to be raised at the Final Judgment.

“Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.” John 5:28-29.

“And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hades delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:12-15.

“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.” Revelation 20:10.

Eternity

After the Final Judgment at the end of the Millennium, a new Jerusalem will descend from heaven, and Eternity will begin for those who trust and follow God.

”Moreover, I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. My tabernacle also shall be with them: yes, I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And the heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.” Ezekiel 37:15-26.

“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away, and there was no more sea. And, I, John, saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.” Revelation 21: 1-3.

“Behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he that keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
Revelation 22:7

“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.” Ecclesiastes 12:13-14.
