A Fixed Time for a Fixed PurposeBecause he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

Acts 17:31Salem, June 29, 2010 2

Entire Millennial Age“Our Lord intimates, however, that the trial,

or testing, or judgment, which His preaching had given was not a finality--there would be a future judgment or trial. According to St. Paul the entire Millennial Age is to be a thousand-year Judgment Day, in which the whole world is to be brought to a knowledge of the Truth, to a full opportunity of coming to a knowledge of God. . . .”Reprint 5362 – “Seventy Ministers Ordained”

Bible Chronology

“. . . the Bible record extends to the first year of Cyrus, B.C. 536, a well established and generally accepted date. There the thread of Bible chronology is dropped--at a point where secular history is reliable. . . .”

Paradise Lost to its Restoration“. . . God has thus provided for his children a

clear and connected record down to the present time. The Bible by its prophecies even supplements history, down to the consummation of "the restitution of all things," in the end of the seventh millennium . . . The Bible is therefore the only record in the world which furnishes a view of human history as a whole. It carries us from the lost paradise of Genesis to the restored paradise of Revelation . . .”

Genesis 2:4

God’s Rest Day

And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

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.

Genesis 2:16-17Salem, June 29, 2010 11

End of the Creative Week

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

Jubilee Time PeriodSabbath Year Period Equaled Six Years

of Sowing and Reaping the Land Followed by a Sabbath Year of Rest

Sabbath Year Period Was Repeated Seven Times Equaling a Period of Forty-Nine Years

A Jubilee Year Followed the Seven Sabbath Year Periods Equaling a Period of Fifty Years

Salem, June 29, 2010 13

Jubilee Great Cycle. . . the same system carried out would indicate that to

reach the great antitype which we seek we should in like manner square the Jubilee--i.e., multiply the fiftieth year by fifty. . . .

. . . Fifty times fifty years gives the long period of twenty-five hundred years (50 x 50 = 2500), as the length of that great cycle, which began to count when Israel's last typical Jubilee ended . . .

Creative Week Time PatternBible Chronology establishes that the length of the

Seventh “Creative Day” is 7000 years The Seventh Creative Day is 6 “thousand year

days” of Man’s Bondage to Sin and Death followed by a “thousand year day” of Release from that Bondage

The “Creative Week” therefore is 7 Creative Days long making it 49,000 years in length

The Creative Week will be followed by Earth’s “Grand Jubilee” which should not be confused with Earth’s “Great Jubilee” which is Man’s Release from Bondage

The First Six DaysJoshua 612 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the

priests took up the ark of the LORD. 13 And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of

rams' horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rereward came after the ark of the LORD, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.

14 And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.

Salem, June 29, 2010 22

The Seventh DayJoshua 615 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early

about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.

16 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.

20 So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.

21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.

2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.

5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

13 And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty:

14 Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: of that wherewith the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him.

15 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to day.
