Thus we have the means of reckoning there were four thousand years or four days with Providence from Adam to Christ. Genesis gives the ages of the patriarchs at the birth of their heirs. This leaves six days as in God’s sight to be accounted for. Christ’s reign of peace on earth as He rules the nations with a rod of iron. Therefore the day of rest - rest from wars and strifes. It is the last day of a thousand years as in God’s sight. 20 speaks three times of the thousand years’ reign of Christ in righteousness while Satan is bound. Does not Holy Scripture indicate such to be the case? If seven is the complete number, should we not expect seven thousand years from the completion of creation (in seven days) and the entering of sin into the world till the consummation. 3 this is confirmed to us, “ one day is with the Lord as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day”. 90 we are told that “ a thousand years in thy (God’s) sight are but as yesterday”, and in 2 Pet. The last days of the week therefore incorporate the fifth, sixth and seventh days of the week.

The former is counted on a scale of a thousand years to one day: the latter on a scale of one day to one year. ![]() One scale is as in the sight of God: the other as in the sight of man. The Word of God leads us to calculate the coming and indeed the presence of the last days on two scales. T HE phrase “ the last days” is found both in the Old and in the New Testaments.
