"Has God alloted 6000 years for man's self-rule?"
is a quea tion tha. t has been an enigma to many.
Yes! The world does not understand what 1s tak1ng
place today because it does not know about the 7000-year
PLAN
OF
GOD.
God has allotted approximately 6000 years for
humanity to go its own way. These millenniums of human
civilization are nearly over. God is about to intervene
in world affairs by sending Jesus Christ. Not until He
returns will we have 1000 years of peace.
The
~attern
for this little-understood
pl~h
is
given in the f rat two chapters or Genesis. It is e WEEK
of seven days. As God originally set time in motion, man is
given six work days followed
by
a
day
of rest. In Hebrews
4:4,11, the seventh day is mentioned as a
~
of the peace–
ful
rest -- 1000-year rest -- that will
~oiiOW
the present
~
O?lnuman labor and futile struggle to master the earth.
l!'lie
Mn.!ennium, then, is compared w1 th a "day" of the week.
Observe that after Christ's intervention the time
of that peacefUl rest under His rule is specifically termed
"a thousand years" (Rev.
20:~).
If the last "day" of God's
7000-year plan is 1000
years~
then the preceding six
days
which He has allotted .for mankind to work out his own ideas
would amount to 6000 years. And this is exactly what world
events are proving today! Look about you! It is obvious
that this world is crashing
~its
DOOM!
Now notice your Bible. Many Bibles are complete
enough to contain chronological charts showing that human
life was created slightly more than 4000 years before
mirfet. And almost another 2000 years have elapsed since -–
making nearly 6000 years of human
c1v1l~zat1on
to date.
In
other words, the trend of world events ia now proving we are
very near the time the Scriptures have always aa1d Christ
will return -- when the probability of world destruction
would become a reality (Matt.
24:22).
Six thousand years
of human history have almost been completed. Here then is
proof -- double proof -- that Christ is coming in our
generation!
