Peter wrote, “Beloved, Be not ignorant of this one thing….” This sounds quite important. What is it we should avoid ignorance about? Peter went on to say, “that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” In view of this warning, we would be ignorant not to recognize that there are thousand-year periods of time on earth that easily count as days with the Lord.
For certain the thousand years that Jesus Christ is prophesied to reign on this earth in Revelation 20 is said to be a day in various Old Testament passages. The one-thousand-year kingdom is also said to be a time (day) of rest for the earth and for Israel specifically. This will be the future rest promised to Israel corresponding to the Sabbath day by which God covenanted this rest.
With the impending second coming of Jesus Christ to set up a one-thousand-year kingdom and almost exactly six thousand years of history for this present earth since its creation in Genesis 1, we surely need to consider carefully whether that history can be divided into six thousand year periods that correspond to six days with God. To write off such a possibility as foolish thinking without careful analysis is surely the very essence of ignorance.
So see the slides Seven Thousand Years to avoid such ignorance and to see that God has indeed prophesied a seven thousand year timeline for this present earth.
