"Weeks"

Do you, like me, wonder how the weeks can fly by so fast? It's amazing.

It seems like another Monday, or Friday, or Sunday, or whatever, is here before you know it. It seems like one minute I am saying, "It's Saturday," then the next minute I am saying, "Wow, it's Saturday again already. It seems like it was just last Saturday," or the same for any other day of the week. I am astounded by the rapid passage of weeks. Week after week after week after week. Plus, time seems to be speeding up, or compressing.

In meditating on this the other day I may have had a revelation from the Holy Spirit.  I suddenly realized that each and every 7-day weekly cycle is God's reminder of His 7-millennial-day (7,000 year) plan for the ages, if we are correct about that, and I believe we are.

If true, this means in the past 6,000 years, which evidence shows may have concluded last fall at the beginning of the current Jewish year 5760, there have been 6,000 X 52 = 312,000 separate reminders of God's plan! These 312,000 reminders are inescapably built in to life, and repeatedly experienced by every human who ever lived.

It's like God saying to every human who ever lived, "HELLOOOOO! I've got a plan! It's a 7-day plan. Just wanted you to know, and remember! Some day my six days will be over and Messiah will come to reign during the Sabbath Millenium."

I am not a calendar person and only know enough to be dangerous. Calendar study is greatly complex. But laborious study by at least one extremely serious seeker suggests that the seventh millenium and Jewish year 5760 really did not begin in the fall of 1999 but will begin on April 5, 2000.

Michael Rood makes a lengthy case from Jerusalem in an interesting (10-page) article at http://www.6001.com/lostit.htm. Even if you do not agree with him (and on some of his theology I do not agree), you will enjoy his rare seeking experience in the "Judean wilderness."

If Rood is correct (and he is persuaded), the Sabbath Millennium will begin on April 5, 2000. If other scholars are correct it began last fall and we are currently in a transition period.

Whichever, these are amazing times! Off the top of my head I can think of four well-known, independent Bible scholars who believe God's catching away of the church (Greek: harpazo, 1 Thessalonians 4:17) is extremely, extremely close.

Keep watching. Maranatha!
