My Messages to the World
Listen up all of you who say and think that no one knows the day and the hour of the return of Yeshua. For thousands of years all of Judaism and the ancients have taught that the Mashiach will come in the year 6,000, as can be seen in many ancient texts. Go ask any Jew, and they will tell you about the year 6,000. It is a common teaching of Judaism. Even the lunar calendar the Jews in Israel and all around the world use has a specific year we are in since creation, saying we are now in the year 5,784 from creation, although that year is inaccurate and it is behind by 213 years. We are now in the year 5,997 from creation, with 3 years left until the year 6,000 from creation. The year of the anointing of Yeshua in 26 AD was the year 4,000 from creation. 2,080 years passed until the calling of Abraham, then 430 years passed until the exodus of the sons of Israel, which was 2,510 years since creation. And then 1,490 years later was the anointing of Yeshua, which was 4,000 years since creation. This is why the prophet Hosea stated that Yeshua returns after 2 days, meaning 2,000 years, because 2,000 years after the anointing of Yeshua in the year 4,000 in 26 AD is the year 6,000 in 2026 AD. The earth is not billions of years old. This is a lie taught by atheists who want to try to discredit the scriptures and have created their own myths about how creation came to be and how long it has existed. And even though the Jews do not believe Yeshua is the Mashiach that already came one time before the year 6,000 to suffer and die for all humanity, they at least believe that the Mashiach must appear to all humanity no later than the year 6,000 from creation, which we who believe Yeshua is the Mashiach know that it will not be his first coming but his second coming. So if the year of the return of Yeshua has already been known for thousands of years, why then did he say no one know the day and hour of his return? Because although the year 6,000 is on a specified date in the future, our own death is not and can happen at any time, and has been near to each one of us throughout all time. Our own death makes the time of the return of Yeshua much sooner than when it is scheduled to happen, because when we die, we sleep in death, and do not feel the passing of time, so we fast forward to wake up in the resurrection that happens after the return of Yeshua, to be judged. So even for someone that lived in the year 4,000 from creation, for example, he might have been relaxed and inclined to think that the return of Yeshua will not happen in his lifetime because to him it was 2,000 years away. But in truth, to that person it might have been as soon as tomorrow, because if he died the next day and slept in death, he then would’ve quickly awakened thousands of years later in the resurrection to the time of the return of Yeshua, to be judged. In his relaxation, foolishly thinking that the return of Yeshua was far off into the future, it sprang upon him suddenly like a trap to his own destruction. So in truth we do not know the day and the hour of the return of Yeshua, because our own mortality and unknown day of death makes his return always near to us, so must live our lives as if his return was going to happen tomorrow, even though we know the general plan of God that it will be in the year 6,000 from creation. Aside from this, Yeshua could’ve also returned at any time after his first coming. God can do whatever he pleases. So this also makes the time of his return uncertain, even to all the angels of heaven. So although we know about the year 6,000, we also do not know for certain, until his return actually happens. The only thing that is certain is that we must believe and obey and be prepared now, because although we might think we know the appointed times of God, we really do not know for certain and anything can happen at any time. And God has appointed it to be this way so that our primary focus may not be to know his precise times, but just to believe and obey now expecting his return to happen at any time. Even though we understand that his return will indeed happen in the year 6,000 from creation as God predestined from the beginning. And in our current time, now in the year 5,997 from creation, not only is our own time of death always near to us, but also the true time of the return of Yeshua is extremely near, with only 3 years left until the year 6,000 in 2026 AD. So we have more reason to believe and obey and prepare now than someone did 2,000 years ago. This is why the world is currently in decline, with global pandemic and global drought and global high inflation and war in Israel, because we are approaching the end. Here are all the ancient texts that talk about the year 6,000.
Of the Shabbath he spoke in the beginning of the creation. And
Barnabas 15:4-5
God made the works of his hands in 6 days, and he ended on the
7th day, and rested on it, and he set it apart. Give heed, children, what this means; He ended in 6 days. He means this, that in 6,000 years the Master shall bring all things to an end, for 1 day with him signifies a 1,000 years. And with this he himself bears me witness, saying, “behold, the day of the Master shall be as a 1,000 years”. Therefore, children, in 6 days, that is in 6,000 years, everything shall come to an end. And he rested on the 7th day. By this he means, when his son shall come, and shall abolish the time of the torahless one, and shall judge the impious, then shall he truly rest on the 7th day.

For in as many days as this world was made, in so many thousand years shall it be concluded. And for this reason the scripture says, “thus the heaven and the earth were finished, and all their adornment. And God brought to a conclusion upon the 6th day the works that he had made, and God rested upon the 7th day from all his works”, Genesis 2:2. This is an account of the things formerly created, as also it is a prophecy of what is to come. For the day of the Master is as a 1,000 years, 2 Peter 3:8. And in 6 days created things were completed. It is evident, therefore, that they will come to an end at the 6,000th year.

The set-apart one, blessed be he, created 7 aeons, and of them all he chose the 7th aeon only. The 6 aeons are for the going in and coming out, for war and peace. The 7th aeon is entirely Shabbath and rest in the aeonial life. The set-apart one, blessed be he, created 7 days, and of them all he chose the 7th day only, as it is said, “and God blessed the 7th day, and set it apart”.

The great plan of redemption results in fully bringing back the world into God’s favor. All that was lost by sin is restored. Not only man but the earth is redeemed, to be the aeonial abode of the obedient. For 6,000 years Satan has struggled to maintain possession of the earth. Now God’s original purpose in its creation is accomplished. “The set-apart ones of the Most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom to the aeon, even unto the aeon of the aeons.” Daniel 7:18.

The ancient and popular doctrine of the millennium was intimately connected with the second coming of the Mashiach. As the works of the creation had been finished in 6 days, their duration in their present state, according to a tradition which was attributed to the prophet Elijah, was fixed to 6,000 years. By the same analogy it was inferred, that this long period of labor and contention, which was now almost elapsed, would be succeeded by a joyful shabbath of a 1,000 years, and that the Mashiach, with the triumphant band of the set-apart ones and the elect who had escaped death, or who had been miraculously revived, would rule upon earth till the time appointed for the last and general resurrection.

For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. There remains, then, a Shabbath rest for the people of God.

1,000 years in your sight are like 1 day…
Psalm 90:4
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that 1 day is with the Master is as 1,000 years, and a 1,000 years is as 1 day.
2 Peter 3:8
For I will be like a lion to Ephraim, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I will tear them to pieces! I will send them off, and no one will be left to rescue them. I will return again to my place, until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face, and in their distress earnestly seek me. “Come, let us return to the Master; for he has torn us, that he may heal us; he has struck us down, and he will bandage us up. After 2 days he will revive us; on the 3rd day he will raise us up, that we may live before him. Let us know; let us press on to know the Master. As sure as the morning sun, he will appear. He will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth.”
Hosea 5:14-6:3
