6000 Years: the Great Cosmic Week

Study:

Many of the Church Fathers believed in the 6000 year age of the earth or the Great Cosmic Week. This was also a belief of the Pioneers of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. However, surprisingly, this is not just a belief of a few scattered remnants of God's people but is in fact a teaching embedded in the scriptures. How so? Recall that Revelation 12 & 13 incorporate imagery from Creation Week. Recall that this imagery is used to encrypt/decrypt the symbolic meaning of 666. The interesting thing about this is that if you take these references to the Creation Week and add to that the dating of the world powers or organizations symbolized by these symbols, then you obtain data falling in line with a belief in a Great Cosmic Week.

Here are the symbols of Revelation 12 & 13 with their interpretation, that is the world power or organization, etc. that they represent, the date of their rise, their equivalent in the Creation Week and the Day of Creation on which they occur.

According to Bishop Usher's Chronology, the Creation occurred 4004 BC. This gives a basis for establishing an approximate dating for the Days of Creation within the Great Cosmic Week. We can tweak these dates and get a more accurate dating of these days, by noting that Christ's first advent, 2000 years ago, was the most important event in earth's history in the last 6000 years. Of Christ's life, two events stand out as being most significant in Salvation history: the start of His ministry in AD 27 and His death in AD 30. From these dates we obtain two other sets of dates fixing the Great Cosmic Week in time. It should be noted that even if any of these numbers are correct, God is still free to shorten or lengthen the time of Christ's Second Coming in order to save His people.

Day 1
(4004-3004 BC)
(3974-2974 BC)
(3971-2971 BC)
 
 
 
Day 2
(3004-2004 BC)
(2974-1974 BC)
(2971-1971 BC)
 
 
 
Day 3
(2004-1004 BC)
(1974-974 BC)
(1971-971 BC)
 
 
 
Day 4
(1004-4 BC)
(974 BC-27 AD)
(971 BC-30 AD)
Woman (sun): Jewish Nation
Dragon (moon):
Roman Republic/Empire 
Day 5
(4 BC-997 AD)
(27-1027 AD)
(30-1030 AD)
Sea Beast (sea creature):
Church of Rome
 
Day 6
(997-1997 AD)
(1027-2027 AD)
(1030-2030 AD)
Land Beast (land creature)
& Image Beast (man):
United States of America
Day 7
(1997-2997 AD)
(2027-3027 AD)
(2030-3030 AD)
[the Millennium:
 the Cosmic Sabbath]
 

So, based on the importance of Christ's ministry, the early Christan, as well as Advent belief, and the Bible itself we predict that Christ will return about 2027-2030, with the understanding that this time can be shortened or extended based on the all-knowing, loving nature of our heavenly Father, for it is His wish that none be lost. I can't wait!

The open or incomplete pentagram (Goethe; Taylor, tr., Faust: a Tragedy, 1889)

Text: none Quote: MEPHISTOPHELES. Well, we'll consider: thou canst gather My views, when next I venture in. Might I, perhaps, depart at present? FAUST. Why thou shouldst ask, I don't perceive. Though our acquaintance is so recent, For further visits thou hast leave. The window's here, the door is yonder; A chimney, also, you behold. MEPHISTOPHELES. I must confess that forth I may not wander, My steps by one slight obstacle controlled,--- The wizard's-foot, that on your threshold made is. FAUST. The pentagram prohibits thee? Why, tell me now, thou Son of Hades, If that prevents, how cam'st thou in to me? Could such a spirit be so cheated? MEPHISTOPHELES. Inspect the thing: the drawing's not completed. The outer angle, you may see, Is open left---the lines don't fit it.

Four kingdoms of Daniel 7 (Jamieson; Fausset; & Brown, A commentary, 1880, OT - vol. 2)

Text: "Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it. And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped ...

The satyr as representation of the devil (Réville, Histoire du diable, 1870)

Text: "The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest." Isaiah 34:14 Quote: [...] C’est aussi vers le même temps que la forme corporelle du diable devient quelque chose d’arrêté: c’est celle des anciens faunes et satyres, le front cornu, la bouche lippue, la peau velue, une queue, le pied fourchu du bouc ou le sabot du cheval.
