ADAM AND EVE
Some people claim that the seven-thousand (7000) year Bible timeframe has already been proven wrong because the world is already over 6,000 years old. However, I believe the clock did not start ticking until right after the “fall” of Adam and Eve, NOT at the beginning of the creation. I believe that Adam and Eve probably ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil about thirty (30) years after the creation. Thirty years of age is considered to be the age of responsibility in the Bible.
Num 4:3 From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
Joseph was thirty years old when he began to reign in Egypt.
Gen 41:46 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
King David was thirty years old when he began to reign in Judah.
2Sa 5:4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
Jesus was thirty years old when he began his three and half year ministry.
Luk 3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,
There must have been some period of time between when Adam and Eve were created on the sixth day, and the time that they were allowed to be tempted by Satan in the Garden of Eden. We see a warning to Adam in the Book of Genesis that appears to be wrong.
Gen 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for IN THE DAY that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Adam lived to be nine-hundred and thirty (930) years old.
Gen 5:5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.
Adam did not die on the day that he ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil…or did he? If we use God’s frame of reference from 2 Peter 3:8 (a thousand years is as a day), then Adam did indeed die on the first day after he ate of the forbidden fruit because he did not live to be a thousand years old.
The following is a timeline of the tribulation period:
Fall of 2017 – Fall of 2018 → 2 Baruk 27:3 …beginning of commotions.
Fall of 2018 – Fall of 2019 → 2 Baruk 27:4 …slayings of the great ones.
Fall of 2019 – Fall of 2020 → 2 Baruk 27:5 …fall of many by death.
Fall of 2020 – Fall of 2021 → 2 Baruk 27:6 …sending of the sword.
Fall of 2021 – Fall of 2022 → 2 Baruk 27:7 …the withholding of rain
Fall of 2022 – Fall of 2023 → 2 Baruk 27:8 …earthquakes and terrors.
Fall of 2023 – Fall of 2024 → 2 Baruk skips the seventh part…
Fall of 2024 – Fall of 2025 → 2 Baruk 27:9 …spectres (ghosts/portents) and attacks of the Shediym (Devils/Demons).
START OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION
Fall of 2025 – Fall of 2026 → 2 Baruk 27:9 …the fall of fire.
Fall of 2026 – Fall of 2027 → 2 Baruk 27:11 …rapine and much oppression.
Fall of 2027 – Fall of 2028 → 2 Baruk 27:12 And in the eleventh part wickedness (injustice) and unchastity.
Fall of 2028 – Fall of 2029 → 2 Baruk 27:13 And in the twelfth part confusion from the MINGLING together of all those things aforesaid.
All the signs seem to indicate that Jesus Christ is at the door, and if we are paying close attention to world events and studying our Bibles it is becoming more and more obvious that the day of the LORD is at hand. Our Lord specifically told us to WATCH!
Mar 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
Mar 13:33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
Mar 13:34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
Mar 13:35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
Mar 13:36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
Mar 13:37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
The Apostle Paul promised us that the children of the light would NOT be caught unprepared for the day of the LORD. Let us all pray that we are also counted among the children of light!
1Th 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
1Th 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
1Th 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
1Th 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
1Th 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
1Th 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
1Th 5:7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
1Th 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
Let me say again that this book is merely speculation and conjecture. I have reached my own conclusion that the end of this age is rapidly approaching, and I believe that the year 2030 is significant because it will be the two-thousand year anniversary of the most monumental event in the Bible…and in world history. THE DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST!
According to the Apostle Peter, one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. SEE 2 Peter 3:8. Therefore, we are fast approaching THE THIRD DAY!
In both the Old and New Testament the third day represents RESTORATION AND RESURRECTION!
Gen 40:13 Yet within THREE DAYS shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
Exo 19:11 And be ready against the THIRD DAY: for the THIRD DAY the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
Jos 1:11 Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within THREE DAYS ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it.
Hos 6:2 After two days will he revive us: in the THIRD DAY he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
Mar 14:58 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within THREE DAYS I will build another made without hands.
Joh 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in THREE DAYS I will raise it up.
Mar 9:31 For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the THIRD DAY.
Therefore, according to the Apostle Peter, one thousand year equals one of God’s days calculation, the year 2030 should mark the beginning of God’s THIRD DAY if we count from the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Also, according to the Apostle Peter’s, a thousand years equals one of God’s days calculation, the year 2030 should mark the beginning of God’s SEVENTH DAY if we count from the fall of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, and 2030 will be the beginning of Christ’s Millennial reign!
I hope and pray that this book has convinced you that Jesus Christ is going to return very, very soon. I believe Jesus is even now at the door:
Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
If you have not done it already, REPENT AND BE SAVED! There is absolutely nothing in this world (wealth, fame, or power) compared to an eternal relationship with Jesus Christ!
Mar 8:35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
Mar 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Salvation is simple and it is FREE!
Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Second, set your sights on heavenly things and forget about chasing all the false promises, fables, and fantasies so often promoted by the world.
1Jn 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1Jn 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
1Jn 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
Third, separate yourself from the world and try to be as self-sufficient as possible.
Isa 26:20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
Isa 26:21 For, behold, the LORD cometh 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.
Finally, study God’s inspired scriptures and be ready to lead the lost to salvation when they begin to understand that science and human wisdom do not provide the answers to mankind’s most pressing and eternal questions.
2Ti 2:24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
2Ti 2:25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
Dan 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Dan 12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
