Thus the First Day [a Sunday] commenced upon October 23, 4004 B.C. [Jerusalem time]. This was on Tishrei 30, -243. It is noted that 243 = 35<\/strong><\/sup> where the numbers 3 = Godhead<\/strong> (3 Powers) \u2013 Divine Completeness \/ Perfection \/ Holiness \u2013 Resurrection \u2013 Holy Spirit \u2013 Completion of Divine Will \u2013 Wholeness \/ Inner Sanctity \u2013 Binding <\/strong>(Spirit of God); and 5 = Power & Divine Grace \u2013 Mercy \u2013 God\u2019s Goodness \u2013 Pentateuch \u2013 Redemption \u2013 Human Weakness <\/strong>(life, child) \u2013 [Living] Faith<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/td><\/tr> | The Creation Week of Genesis 1:1 \u2013 2:3 not only parallels each week but also parallels the History of the Earth.<\/td><\/tr> | God rested from all His work upon the seventh day and, in doing so, He likewise desires us to refrain from doing work upon the seventh day as this is the Sabbath of our Lord \u2013 His Sanctified Day.<\/td><\/tr> | This is a Saturday \u2013 not a Sunday \u2013 and commences at Friday sunset and ends at Saturday sunset.<\/td><\/tr> | Yes, like our world time zones, it varies around the world depending upon where you are located.<\/td><\/tr> | <\/td><\/tr> | 2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that ONE DAY is with the Lord as A THOUSAND YEARS, and a thousand years as one day.<\/td><\/tr> | As the six working days of our week [Sunday \u2013 Friday] precede the weekly Sanctified Sabbath day [Saturday], so there are 6000 years of Earthly rule before a 1000 year Heavenly time where Jesus will be with His people.<\/td><\/tr> | <\/td><\/tr> | 6000 years after 6 pm on Saturday October 22, 4004 BC [Jerusalem time] occurred upon 6 pm on Wednesday October 22, 1997 BC [Jerusalem time] [4004 + 1997 = 6001 years less 1 year as the days in 4004 + 1997 give a full year].<\/td><\/tr> | But Jesus has yet to come. What has happened?<\/td><\/tr> | In consideration of the shortness of time we as a people should watch and pray, and in no case allow ourselves to be diverted from the solemn work of preparation for the great event before us. Because the time is apparently extended, many have become careless and indifferent in regard to their words and actions. They do not realize their danger and do not see and understand the MERCY OF OUR GOD IN LENGTHENING THEIR PROBATION, THAT THEY MAY HAVE TIME TO FORM CHARACTERS FOR THE FUTURE, IMMORTAL LIFE. Every moment is of the highest value. Time is granted them, not to be employed in studying their own ease and becoming dwellers on the Earth, but to be used in the work of overcoming every defect in their own characters and in helping others, by example and personal effort, to see the beauty of holiness. God has a people upon the Earth who in faith and holy hope are tracing down the roll of fast-fulfilling prophecy and are seeking to purify their souls by obeying the truth, that they may not be found without the wedding garment when Christ shall appear. {4T 306.3}<\/td><\/tr> | We are firm in the belief that the preaching of definite time was of God. It was this that led men to search the Bible diligently, discovering truths they had not before perceived. Jonah was sent of God to proclaim in the streets of Nineveh that within forty days the city would be overthrown; but GOD ACCEPTED THE HUMILIATION OF THE NINEVITES AND EXTENDED THEIR PERIOD OF PROBATION. Yet the message that Jonah brought was sent of God, and Nineveh was tested according to his will. The world looked upon our hope as a delusion and our disappointment as its consequent failure; but though we were mistaken in the event that was to occur at that period, there was no failure in reality of the vision that seemed to tarry. {LS80 190.3}<\/td><\/tr> | <\/td><\/tr> | So just like Nineveh, God has extended our probationary period to give us time to form CHARACTER PERFECTION.<\/td><\/tr> | <\/td><\/tr> | Happiness is the result of HOLINESS, and conformity to the WILL of GOD. Those who would be SAINTS in HEAVEN, must first be SAINTS upon the Earth; for when we leave this Earth, we shall take our character with us, and this will be simply taking with us some of the elements of HEAVEN imparted to us through the RIGHTEOUSNESS of CHRIST. {RH, August 19, 1890 par. 9}<\/td><\/tr> | <\/td><\/tr> | By how much has our probation been extended?<\/td><\/tr> | <\/td><\/tr> | In God\u2019s Word, there are clues as to the duration of this probation.<\/td><\/tr> | These will be discussed in a moment, but let us first reflect upon some points in the History of the Earth:<\/td><\/tr> | <\/td><\/tr> | http:\/\/www.cgsf.org\/dbeattie\/calendar\/?roman=-4003<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/td><\/tr> | <\/td> | Hebrew -243 – -242<\/strong><\/td><\/td> | 4004 B.C.<\/strong><\/td><\/td><\/tr> | <\/td> | Su<\/mark><\/strong><\/td>M<\/td> | Tu<\/td> | W<\/td> | Th<\/td> | F<\/mark><\/strong><\/td>Sa<\/td> | <\/td> | Su<\/mark><\/strong><\/td>M<\/td> | Tu<\/td> | W<\/td> | Th<\/td> | F<\/mark><\/strong><\/td>Sa<\/td> | <\/td><\/tr> | (7) Tishrei <\/mark><\/strong><\/td>2<\/mark><\/td>3<\/mark><\/td>4<\/mark><\/td>5<\/mark><\/td>6<\/mark><\/td>7<\/mark><\/td>8<\/mark><\/td><\/td> | 25<\/mark><\/td>26<\/mark><\/td>27<\/mark><\/td>28<\/mark><\/td>29<\/mark><\/td>30<\/mark><\/td>1<\/mark><\/td> October<\/mark><\/strong><\/td><\/tr> Creation started after sunset at 6 pm Jerusalem time; 29th > 30th.<\/mark><\/td>9<\/mark><\/td>10<\/mark><\/td>11<\/mark><\/td>12<\/mark><\/td>13<\/mark><\/td>14<\/mark><\/td>15<\/mark><\/td><\/td> | 2<\/mark><\/td>3<\/mark><\/td>4<\/mark><\/td>5<\/mark><\/td>6<\/mark><\/td>7<\/mark><\/td>8<\/mark><\/td> <\/td><\/tr> | 16<\/mark><\/td>17<\/mark><\/td>18<\/mark><\/td>19<\/mark><\/td>20<\/mark><\/td>21<\/mark><\/td>22<\/mark><\/td><\/td> | 9<\/mark><\/td>10<\/mark><\/td>11<\/mark><\/td>12<\/mark><\/td>13<\/mark><\/td>14<\/mark><\/td>15<\/mark><\/td> <\/td><\/tr> | 23<\/mark><\/td>24<\/mark><\/td>25<\/mark><\/td>26<\/mark><\/td>27<\/mark><\/td>28<\/mark><\/td>29<\/mark><\/td><\/td> | 16<\/mark><\/td>17<\/mark><\/td>18<\/mark><\/td>19<\/mark><\/td>20<\/mark><\/td>21<\/mark><\/td>22<\/mark><\/td>Creation Week<\/mark><\/strong><\/td><\/tr>30<\/mark><\/strong><\/td>1<\/mark><\/td>2<\/mark><\/td>3<\/mark><\/td>4<\/mark><\/td>5<\/mark><\/strong><\/td>6<\/mark><\/td><\/td> | 23<\/mark><\/strong><\/td>24<\/mark><\/td>25<\/mark><\/td>26<\/mark><\/td>27<\/mark><\/td>28<\/mark><\/strong><\/td>29<\/mark><\/td><\/tr>(8) Heshvan<\/mark><\/strong> <\/td>7<\/td> | 8<\/td> | 9<\/td> | 10<\/td> | 11<\/td> | 12<\/td> | 13<\/td> | <\/td> | 30<\/td> | 31<\/td> | 1<\/td> | 2<\/td> | 3<\/td> | 4<\/td> | 5<\/td> | November<\/td><\/tr> | <\/td> | 14<\/td> | 15<\/td> | 16<\/td> | 17<\/td> | 18<\/td> | 19<\/td> | 20<\/td> | <\/td> | 6<\/td> | 7<\/td> | 8<\/td> | 9<\/td> | 10<\/td> | 11<\/td> | 12<\/td> | God \/ Jesus made Adam & Eve<\/mark><\/strong><\/td><\/tr> <\/td> | 21<\/td> | 22<\/td> | 23<\/td> | 24<\/td> | 25<\/td> | 26<\/td> | 27<\/td> | <\/td> | 13<\/td> | 14<\/td> | 15<\/td> | 16<\/td> | 17<\/td> | 18<\/td> | 19<\/td><\/tr> | <\/td> | 28<\/td> | 29<\/td> | 30<\/td> | 1<\/td> | 2<\/td> | 3<\/td> | 4<\/td> | <\/td> | 20<\/td> | 21<\/td> | 22<\/td> | 23<\/td> | 24<\/td> | 25<\/td> | 26<\/td><\/tr> | (9) Kislev <\/td> | 5<\/td> | 6<\/td> | 7<\/td> | 8<\/td> | 9<\/td> | 10<\/td> | 11<\/td> | <\/td> | 27<\/td> | 28<\/td> | 29<\/td> | 30<\/td> | 1<\/td> | 2<\/td> | 3<\/td> | December<\/td><\/tr> | <\/td><\/tr> | Molad<\/mark>*<\/mark> of Tishrei, -241<\/td>Elul 29, -242, 3 hours, 595 parts<\/mark>**<\/mark><\/td>October 12, 4003 B.C., 9:33:03.33 p.m.<\/td><\/tr> | Autumnal Equinox<\/mark><\/td>Heshvan 1, -242, 4 hours, 451 parts<\/mark><\/td>October 23, 4004 B.C., 10:25 p.m.<\/mark><\/td><\/tr>* <\/mark>Moon is “born again”<\/mark><\/td>** <\/mark>A part is 1\/1080 of an hour.<\/mark><\/td>3 parts = 10 seconds.<\/mark><\/td><\/td><\/tr> | <\/td><\/tr> | http:\/\/www.cgsf.org\/dbeattie\/calendar\/?roman=-3<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/td><\/tr> | <\/td> | Hebrew 3757 – 3758<\/strong><\/td><\/td> | 4 B.C.<\/strong><\/td><\/td><\/tr> | <\/td> | Su<\/mark><\/strong><\/td>M<\/td> | Tu<\/td> | W<\/td> | Th<\/td> | F<\/td> | Sa<\/td> | <\/td> | Su<\/mark><\/strong><\/td>M<\/td> | Tu<\/td> | W<\/td> | Th<\/td> | F<\/td> | Sa<\/td> | <\/td><\/tr> | (9) Kislev <\/td> | 6<\/td> | 7<\/td> | 8<\/td> | 9<\/td> | 10<\/td> | 11<\/td> | 12<\/td> | <\/td> | 25<\/td> | 26<\/td> | 27<\/td> | 28<\/td> | 29<\/td> | 30<\/td> | 1<\/td> | December<\/mark><\/strong><\/td><\/tr> | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
