Historically a millenium is a period of time lasting one thousand years. According to Judeo-Christian traditions, the history of the fall and redemption of man is chronicled in groups of millennial years - 1,000 years each.
The beginning of the story of the fall and redemption of man was six thousand years ago - or six millennia. The Bible chronicles the roots and development of the story, NOT the creation of planet earth which preceded it. The story of man and his relationship to God is six thousand years old. The Bible is not concerned about geologic discussions about prehistoric plants and animals. That's why they aren't in there. The Biblical story is about the fall and redemption of man - nothing less and nothing more.
According to Kabbalah, as well as the Bible, the history of man will be played out in four millennial groups which total seven thousand years. As seven days make a week, so seven thousand years make for the total history of God's dealing with man upon the earth. As the last day of the week is reserved for shabbat, or sabbath rest, so shall the last millenium be reserved for rest for the planet.
DESOLATION - is the descriptive term for the first two thousand years. Those years span the Biblical period from Adam to the Hebrew Exodus from Egypt. These are the years of desolation.
TORAH, years of... is the descriptive term for the second two thousand years. Those years span the Biblical period from the Hebrew exodus from Egypt to the building of the temples. It is the period of the rule of Hebraic LAW.
MESSIAH, days of.... is the prophetic term describing a period of two thousand years called the Days of Messiah. During those two thousand years the GRACE of messiah (forgiveness) would be disseminated throughout the world to Jew and Gentile alike. The period would be identified with the dispersal of Jews throughout the world and end with their ingathering to the ancient land of Israel (Eretz Israel).
SHABBAT MILLENIUM - is the prophetic term describing a period of one thousand years dedicated to a sabbath rest for planet earth.
Total: 7,000 years.
Prior to the beginning of Shabbat Millenium, the righteous will be evacuated from the earth (1st resurrection) and sinners destroyed from it. There will not remain one human soul upon the earth for one thousand years. The planet will be scorched by fire upon every continent. Everything of human construction will be destroyed.
At the end of the Shabbat Millenium, the New City of Jerusalem will come down from heaven - populated by the righteous of the first resurrection. A second resurrection will happen at that time, which will be that of sinners. A last great battle will take place in which the people of the second resurrection will attack the heavenly city of the people of the first resurrection (the righteous). The attackers, as well as their spiritual leader satan, will be utterly and permanently annihilated in the Lake of Fire - the Second Death.
The beginning of the Shabbat Millenium is very close. It is time to repent of sin and make peace with God before final events make such an opportunity impossible.

THE ANOINTED……. A millennia is indeed a period of time lasting one thousand years, and in scripture it is said, that to the Lord, a thousand years are as one day. So, the seventh millennia is the seventh Day, The great Sabbath, (Shabbat Millennia) which is the future reality of the weekly Sabbath. As Paul reveals in Colossians 2: 17.
Acts 17: 31; For the Lord has fixed a day (The Shabbat Millennia) in which he shall judge the whole world with Justice by means of a
MAN he has
CHOSEN. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising that
MAN from death.
Jubilees 4: 30; And he (Adam) lacked seventy years of one thousand years; for one thousand years are as one day in the testimony of the heavens and therefore was it written concerning the tree of knowledge: ’On the day that ye eat thereof ye shall die.’ For this reason, he did not complete the years of this day; for he died during it.
We are now coming to the close of the sixth day from the day in which Adam ate of the forbidden fruit and died in that day at the age of 930. Soon, we are to experience the greatest tribulation that the world has ever known, in fact, but for the intervention of the Lord no flesh would survive.
Matthew 24:15-22 New King James Version (NKJV) The Great Tribulation
15 “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), 16 “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. 18 And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. 19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20 And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the [a]elect’s sake those days will be shortened.
Zechariah 14: The Lord will gather all the nations together to make war on Jerusalem. The city will be taken, the houses Looted, and the women raped. Half the people will go into exile, but the rest of them will not be taken away from the city. Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations, as he has fought in times Past. (This has not yet happened)
Numbers 24: 17, "A king, like a bright star, will arise in that Nation. Like a comet he will come from Israel. He will strike the leaders of Moab and beat down all the people of Seth. He will conquer his enemies in Edom and make their land his property. While Israel continues victorious. The Nation of Israel will trample them down and wipe out the last survivors." Zechariah 12: 10; "They will look upon me and see the one who they pierced, and they shall mourn for him as one mourns for an only child etc."
Isaiah 63: 1-6, "Who is this coming from the city of Bozrah in Edom? Who is this so splendidly dressed in red, marching along in power and strength?" It is the Lord, powerful to save, coming to announce his victory. "Why is his clothing so red, like that of a man who tramples grapes to make wine?"
The Lord answers, "I have trampled the nations like grapes and no one came to help me. I trampled them in my anger, and their blood has stained all my clothing. I DECIDED THAT THE TIME TO SAVE MY PEOPLE HAD COME; it was time to punish their enemies.
I was amazed when I looked and saw that there was no one to help me. But my anger made me strong, and I won the victory myself. In my anger I trampled whole nations and shattered them, I poured out their life’s blood on the earth."
See Zechariah 14. The Lord will come to fight for his people Israel as he has fought in times past and from within the inner most sanctuary of his tabernacle (The kingdom of God is within you) which temporary tabernacle is the body of mankind, he will fight the enemies of Israel; those Nations who surround Jerusalem in their attempt to drive God's chosen people into the sea.
The African tectonic plate in its northern migration, grinds against the Arabian plate in a line that runs up through the Red Sea and along the Jordon valley beneath the Mount of Olives.
Zechariah 14: 3-4; Then the Lord will go out and fight for his people as he has fought in times past. At that time he will stand on the Mount of Olives, to the east of Jerusalem. Then the Mount of Olives will be split in two, from east to west by a large valley. Half of the mountain (On the African plate) will move northward, and half of it (On the Arabian plate) will move southward.
Could the violent activity around the earth at this time, be the trigger that will cause the super volcano beneath Yellow stone to erupt, enveloping the planet in a cloud of debris? And that day shall be neither day nor night, but a perpetual twilight.
Zechariah 14: 13; Then the Lord will throw those nations that surround Jerusalem, into a state of total confusion, and the weapons of destruction with which they would destroy Israel, he will cause them to turn upon their own allies and they shall suffer a terrible disease, the soft tissue such as their eyes and tongues will melt in their sockets, and their radiated flesh, cooked to the bone, will slide from their bodies while still standing. Then all the surviving Nations will send their representatives each year to Jerusalem in the land of Israel, to worship and pay tribute to the Lord who will rule the whole world with justice for a thousand years, and woe betide those who refuse to do so.
Then all the godless people of this world, and all those, who in their Synagogues, Mosques, and Cathedrals of stone, marble, or crystal, who prostate themselves on the floors or who sing and dance with their eyes and hands raised to the heavens in worship of a god they neither know or understand, will bow down and worship THE God of the Bible, the Most High in the creation, ‘The Son of Man.’
Revelation 20: 7-9; It is
AFTER, I repeat
AFTER the thousand-year Sabbath is ended that heavenly fire incinerates all physical life forms on earth. But not all shall fall asleep in death, for at the sound of the
‘LAST TRUMPET’ the righteous shall be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, from bodies of corruptible matter into Glorious bodies of Brilliant and blinding light. Here is the prophesied Rapture, which is to occur AFTER the thousand year Sabbath.
It is in that thousand years of peace that all our resources will be used to prepare for the ultimate destruction of all physical life forms that remain on this planet. Knowing that which is to occur after the one thousand year Sabbath, when heavenly fire incinerate the surface of the earth, with the great wealth that will be paid in tribute by the nations of the world during that thousand year rule of our king and high priest, genetic banks of all physical life forms will be created, (
The Ark) and sent to a place of safety in order that when the incinerated earth is once again able to sustain physical life forms, Plants will be planted, animals will be created anew, and when the system for the sustainability of mankind has been put in place, the Lord, our brother, king, and high priest will say, "And now, let us make man in our image and likeness." And a new and more humble Race of men will people this earth.
"Under the guidance of Jupiter (Planet) man prepares, by means of religious exercises, for the journey to the life beyond, and he attains rest under the influence of Saturn." (Basra Encyclopedia)- De Boer, Philosophy in Islam, p 88.
The water ocean on Enceladus, a moon that orbits the planet Saturn, is about 6 miles (10 kilometers) deep and lies beneath a shell of ice 19 to 25 miles (30 to 40 km) thick, researchers said. Further, it's in direct contact with a rocky seafloor, theoretically making possible all kinds of complex chemical reactions — such as, perhaps, the kind that led to the rise of life on Earth.
"The world being melted and re-entered into the bosom of Jupiter, this God continues for some time totally concentred in himself: . . . afterwards we see a new world spring from him, perfect in all its parts; animals are produced anew; an innocent race of man is formed under more favourable auspices, in order to people this earth." " Seneca, Epist, 9, and Qucest. Nat. L. 3, c, ult.
