Early Christians believed in the concept of a Millennial Sabbath. The belief was that six thousand years would elapse from the creation of Adam until the Second Coming of Christ. Here the author explores the possibility that Jesus'' disciples Peter and John believed in a variation of that concept?that the Second Coming would occur some perfect multiple of a thousand years from a known creation date.Using Peter''s statements in 2 Peter 3:8-9, "one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise," the author argues that a millennial pattern exists within the chronological data of the Bible. New Testament writers identified certain key events that fulfilled promises made by God under the biblical covenants. Ironically, all of them could have occurred a perfect multiple of a thousand years from some creation date or from some other prior Old Testament event related to the promised event.This book will take you on a journey through the New and Old Testaments to uncover the millennial pattern within the chronology of the Bible and its possible implications for the future!

July 30, 2020; July 18, 2021; August 5, 2022; July 24, 2023; July 12, 2024; July 30, 2025; July 19, 2026; July 7, 2027; July 24, 2028; July 12, 2029. If so, this could mean the world might end on July 31, 2030. In the book the author explores a chronological pattern in the Old Testament. The New Testament writers were aware of it based on numerous statements found in the New Testament. This pattern is used to isolate key calendar dates in any millennium when Christ could return. The chronology itself is based loosely on the ancient Millennial Sabbath concept--the idea that the world would end 7,000 years from the creation of Adam. The book also explains how John, in the Book of Revelation, outlined reincarnation and possibly warned his early readers to watch for Christ''s return on June 17, AD 70 in Revelation 11-12.
