Isaiah 46:10 I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’

How does the Lord make the end known from the beginning??

It's called prophecy. The Bible is full of it.

I personally believe (others are free to disagree) that we find at least a partial answer to this question in the book of Genesis, and specifically in the creation week account. There, God worked six days, and then he rested on the seventh day. Seeing how, at times, a day with the Lord is as a thousand years, I believe that God was showing us his timetable for man on this earth during the creation week. In other words. I believe that man will labor for 6000 years (6 days), and then the redeemed will rest during the seventh 1000 year period (the 7th day) or during the coming Millennial Reign of Christ. If the Hebrew calendar is correct, then it is presently the year 5785.

That is pretty spot on

God has declared it through scripture.

In my personal time studies, I found it to be year 5996, not 5785
I would be interested in knowing how you came up with it currently being the year 5996. Personally, I do not believe that it is yet that late (although it might be later than 5785) because I believe that there are yet prophesied events which need to be fulfilled before Christ can return on "the last day," which I believe will usher in his Millennial Reign, and those events require more than 4 years of time to be fulfilled.

Yes you are correct but there is a greater story here. The timeline the antichrist is on is different then the one the Lord has set for his coming for the saints.

A long story but the coming of Lord for the saints will be at the reaping of the earth in Rev. 14. As in Wheat & Tares
This happens at last moment of the Last Trump
The Day of the Lord begins here


Those left behind enter the bowl judgements or another 3.2 years

My first study 4 decades ago I knew we were approaching 6000 years and I teach this, hence my nickname Omegatime.

Understanding the parables and prophecies can take you the rest of the way.

Like Malachi 4:2 2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves.

Two things to observe here the timing--sun represents the Son who was resurrected after 4000 years as well as others. Because the sun was made on the 4th day.

One of many

No offense, but I definitely disagree with the timeline that you just gave.

For one thing, the wheat and the tares are not separated until the end of Christ's Millennial Reign. I pretty thoroughly explained why that is in a previous post of mine on another thread, and you can read it here if you are interested in doing so.

I think you are assuming things. Where are those who live into the millenium??

The Hebrew year 5785 began on Rosh Hashanah, which was celebrated from sunset on October 2, 2024 to sunset on October 4, 2024. Rosh Hashanah is also known as the Jewish New Year and the Feast of Trumpets

I honestly am not sure what you mean. What do you think I am assuming?
Where are those who live into the millenium??
Do you mean "Where will they be residing?" If so, then they will be residing right here on earth.

I need to take care of some things for a bit, but I will check back here later today. I will talk to you more then.
