Already Past 6000 Years Since Adam?

I enjoyed reading your article 6000 Year Timeline.
I did a similar study but came to a different conclusion. I am using this email to share my findings with you because I believe they can help us both.I counted the geologies from when Adam & Eve were expelled to the end of the Old Testament to come to 4,167 years or the 4th day since Adam & Eve’s expulsion. Jesus Christ appeared on this earth 2006 years ago which when added to the 4,167 comes to 6,173 years since Adam & Eve’s expulsion. Since 1 day is 1,000 years to God this would be day 6.
It’s important to understand that this day 6 is not over! I don’t know when it will be over but I can tell you it wouldn’t be any longer than 827 years. Jesus said the generation that sees what he describes in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 would not pass away. I think you’d agree these things are happening now so we are the generation that is going to see those things. This means that since a generation lasts around 100 years maybe, this is just a guess the end is 82 years away?
What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks for comment and question.
Well, you may want to check your assumption that Jesus came 2006 years ago in 1 BCE. Most place it much earlier and my own conclusion based on the Star of Bethlehem (as you read if you signed up for my newsletter) is 3 BCE.
More importantly, the 7th millenial day starts at 6,001 years from adam’s rule, not 7,001 (since the 1st day is 0001 to 1000, 2nd 1001 to 2000, etc.). If we are already 6173 years from adam’s rule as you contend, then there obviously is a problem since Jesus’ rule should have begun 172 years ago. Most place Jesus coming much earlier than you do, perhaps around 3999 or 4000 years from creation, placing it at the end of the 4th millennial day from creation, just as the sun came forth on the 4th day of creation week (see Eugene Faulstich’s chonology).
Also, I’ve never heard anyone give a definition of a biblical generation that could possibly fit 100 years. The biblical generation seems to be just like we define it today, a few decades it takes for one to grow and raise children of their own. It’s not a lifespan, which is still much less than 100 years.
Hope this helps you.

Furl thisWhat the 66% Who Believe Jesus Will Return in 2010 Don't Know But Should...
Update: What I predicted would not happen in 2007, 2008 and 2009, also applies to 2010, so read on: An Ipsos poll in 2006 said that 25% of adults believe it is at least somewhat likely that Jesus Christ will return to Earth in 2007. Among white evangelical Christian adults, 66% believed this. Yet three years later Jesus still has not returned. Want to know why Jesus did not come in 2007 and still won't come in 2010?

Tim:
I agree with you that the 7th mill. day starts 6001 years from Adam’s rule and a generation is certainly not 100 years. I have never heard of a generation being given as 100 years anywhere before.
Thanks

After the ark of Noah, the generatin periode is 120 years, so if you make an enumeration from 1948 when the state Israel is gegun til now you have the year 2068.
And if you have the dubble star in virgo with an rotation of 169 years than you have the year 169*12=2028
say this numbers something in the timeline?
The 120 years listed there is not a lifespan limit or generation length because people even today still live past 120 years old, as they clearly did immediately after the flood. The only fit is that it gives how many years from that point God would wait until the flood.

When it comes to calculation of a generation, it has already been given to us in Psalm 90:10. This verse tells us that a generation is 70 years or, if by strength/good health, 80 years. This average has held since well before the birth of Christ. As for the 6,000 years, we could be in the final year right now. Please note that I said could be. To keep this brief I will just say that the Star of Bethlehem is documented as having been 3 years earlier than what has been thought (between 1 B.C. and the zero year). Going through geneologies (etc) and taking this 3 years into consideration would put the birth of Jesus at about 3997. If we add 3997 to 2008 we have 6,005 years. If we are couning the time of man or from creation (as most do) then the count should have begun from the 6th day of creation. After all, how can we justify starting the count until man is created or creation is complete – both occurring on the 6th day. If we then convert the 6 days to days of years (just as Daniel’s 70 weeks) and subtract that from the 6,005 we have the year 5,999! I’ve done a considerable amount of study on this and other markers of the timing of the end and while it would appear that we could very well be in the final year, part of these counts are according to the counting or reording of years by man. As a result it could easily be off a year or more; but we are certainly living in the very last of the end of days. Keep looking up!!
Psalm 90:10 does not tell us how long a generation lasts. It tells us the typical life span, something different that has changed throughout time. A wicked generation is witnessed a few times in Scripture as 40 years.
The Bible does not teach that at the end of 6000 years from Creation that the Millennium will begin. It implies that after six millennial days of man’s self-rule, God will rule through his glorified sons for a Sabbath Millenium. Since we do not know when Adam left the garden to begin his self-rule, we do not have a date we can add 6000 years to to know when Jesus will return.
