FROM THE TREE TO THE CROSS

Our God is a God of grand design and planning, he works with repeating and recognizable patterns to establish his will in all aspects of his creation, including time.

2 Peter 3:8
But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.



In the first chapter of the book of Genesis it says that God created both the heavens and the earth, but then in the next verse it says that the earth had become in a state of darkness and chaos until God said to the darkness, let there be light, and where there was once only darkness and chaos,  light now existed on the face of the earth. this light marked the beginning and the end of the first day.

In the first millennial day as in the first 1000 years being equivalent to the first day of creation,  everything is created to be perfect and good yet man who was created from the dust falls into darkness and is separated from God when he chooses to experience sin and the knowledge gained from it and is cast out of the garden and the presence of God

what had begun as perfection in the garden of eden, had now reverted to a  state of darkness and chaos just as the earth had become when God called for the light to appear.

by the end of the first millennial day God destroyed the wickedness of the earth with a flood and once again water and darkness covered the earth as it rained for 40 days and 40 nights until finally God once again called for  the light to appear and the rain subsided.

In the second day of creation, God divides the waters from the sea and places them in the sky of the heavens.

In the beginning of the second millennial day between the years 1000 and 2000,  God once again divided the waters but this time instead of placing them in the sky, he closed up the springs of the earth and trapped the waters in the deep abyss because they contained the giants and all of the dead  that were killed in the flood.

In the third day of creation, God divided the land by separating the water from the land
God then commanded for the earth with its seed to grow and spring forth and bear fruit

In the third millennial day, the nations are divided at the tower of babel and sent to their individual lands and territory because they no longer spoke the same language.
The seed of God’s people is planted with abraham in 2034 and springs forth when Isaac is born in 2048 at the very beginning of the 3rd millennial day.
Over the next 1000 years, the hebrews  grow and multiply, and God divides them from the other nations by bringing them out of Egypt to the promised land 2708 years after Adam.

On the fourth day of creation, God said let there be bearers of light to further divide and distinguish the light from the darkness.
So God created the sun, moon, and stars to mark the days, years, and seasons by further separating the darkness with light

In the fourth millennial day, the first  temple in Jerusalem is built, and the priesthood established, Jesus the Son of God is born between 4087 and 4093 years after Adam at the end of the fourth millennial day
He is both the sun and the son created on 4th day and fourth millennial day because he is symbolic of the light of God and the light of life just as he claimed to be in John 8:12
I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
And again in John 12:46
I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
We are the bearers of his light that are commanded to shine his light in Matthew 5:16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father, which is in heaven.
We are meant to be a distinguishing difference between the light and the darkness by reflecting his shining  light for all to see and recognize in us just as the moon reflects the light of the sun we are to reflect the light of his Son.

On the fifth day of creation, God commanded 
“Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens.”

On the fifth millennial day the growth in world population
stimulates commercial fishing on record levels and inspires the building of increasingly larger ships capable of hauling larger catches of fish, which then allows for the commercial sea trading routes and the discovery and mapping of new worlds such as America and Alaska, Australia and New Zealand.
In the fifth millennial day the fishers of men begin to multiply and spread throughout the world teaching the gospel of Jesus and his coming kingdom because of his sacrifice for the redemption of sin and the bestowal of the holy spirit upon men that was often described as a dove hovering.


On the 6th day of creation, God created man from the dust and placed him in a perfect garden to fellowship with him as he cared for the animals and the garden.

We are at the end of the 6th millennial day when man has been prophecied to be resurected from the dust and placed back in the garden to be with the LORD on his 7th day of rest for 1000 years.

What part of this 6th millennial day it will happen only God knows,
Nevertheless, the pattern is unmistakable and can not be ignored.

Revelation 21:20
Surely I come quickly
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
