  1. The Lord’s Day

  2. A Fixed Time for a Fixed Purpose Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. Acts 17:31

  3. Entire Millennial Age “Our Lord intimates, however, that the trial, or testing, or judgment, which His preaching had given was not a finality--there would be a future judgment or trial. According to St. Paul the entire Millennial Age is to be a thousand-year Judgment Day, in which the whole world is to be brought to a knowledge of the Truth, to a full opportunity of coming to a knowledge of God. . . .” Reprint 5362 – “Seventy Ministers Ordained”

  4. The Calendar

  5. Standard Time Increments • Units of time • Day equals a full rotation of the earth on its axis Jewish day was from sundown to sundown Genesis 1:13 • Week equals seven days Jewish week ended with the Sabbath day Exodus 20:10-11 • Year equals a full orbit of the earth around the sun Jewish year beginning based upon spring equinox Exodus 12:2

  6. Israel’s Two Year Beginnings The religious year began in the spring, counting from the first new moon after the vernal equinox . . . It was in connection with . . . the beginning of their religious year, that the Lord appointed . . . the killing and eating of the Passover lamb on the 14th day, to be followed by a Passover week of unleavened bread. The civil year . . . began six months later, in the seventh month . . . and it was in connection with this civil year that the Atonement Day sacrifices were appointed . . . Reprint 3749, “The Passover Must Be Killed”

  7. Divinely Appointed • Time Increments • Established by the Creator • Fixed Time Measurement Durations • Cannot Be Altered by Man • Bible Chronology • Genealogies • Histories • Inspired Statements • Prophecies

  8. Bible Chronology “. . . the Bible record extends to the first year of Cyrus, B.C. 536, a well established and generally accepted date. There the thread of Bible chronology is dropped--at a point where secular history is reliable. . . .” Volume 2, Page 37, Paragraph 3

  9. Paradise Lost to its Restoration “. . . God has thus provided for his children a clear and connected record down to the present time. The Bible by its prophecies even supplements history, down to the consummation of "the restitution of all things," in the end of the seventh millennium . . . The Bible is therefore the only record in the world which furnishes a view of human history as a whole. It carries us from the lost paradise of Genesis to the restored paradise of Revelation . . .” Volume 2, Page 37, Paragraph 3

  10. Creative Days These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, Genesis 2:4

  11. God’s Rest Day And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Genesis 2:16-17

  12. End of the Creative Week For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 1 Corinthians 15:22-24

  13. Jubilee Time Period • Sabbath Year Period Equaled Six Years of Sowing and Reaping the Land Followed by a Sabbath Year of Rest • Sabbath Year Period Was Repeated Seven Times Equaling a Period of Forty-Nine Years • A Jubilee Year Followed the Seven Sabbath Year Periods Equaling a Period of Fifty Years

  14. Jubilee Great Cycle . . . the same system carried out would indicate that to reach the great antitype which we seek we should in like manner square the Jubilee--i.e., multiply the fiftieth year by fifty. . . . . . . Fifty times fifty years gives the long period of twenty-five hundred years (50 x 50 = 2500), as the length of that great cycle, which began to count when Israel's last typical Jubilee ended . . . Volume 2, Page 180, Paragraphs 1 and 2

  15. Evening/Morning of God’s Rest Day

  16. Creative Week Time Pattern • Bible Chronology establishes that the length of the Seventh “Creative Day” is 7000 years • The Seventh Creative Day is 6 “thousand year days” of Man’s Bondage to Sin and Death followed by a “thousand year day” of Release from that Bondage • The “Creative Week” therefore is 7 Creative Days long making it 49,000 years in length • The Creative Week will be followed by Earth’s “Grand Jubilee” which should not be confused with Earth’s “Great Jubilee” which is Man’s Release from Bondage

  17. The Third Day For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 1 Corinthians 15:3-4

  20. The Promised Seed Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. Galatians 3:16 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Galatians 3:29 7th Creative Day 1st 100 1st 1000 2nd 1000 3rd 1000 4th 1000 5th 1000 6th 1000 7th 1000 Seed of Hope Typical Seeds Promised Seed

  23. The Seventh Day Joshua 6 15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times. 16 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city. 20 So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. 21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
