Millenniel Transitions: Bringing purpose to the day

It seems to be a foregone conclusion that the days we are living in are very unique. Few people would argue that there is nothing special about what is happening in the world. Regardless of a person's political persuasion, religious belief, or social status there seems to be a unanimous agreement as to the fact that the era that we now find ourselves is approaching a climax of some sort.

Although there are many approaches used to explain this sense of imposing change whether it be the Mayan calendar, the prophecies of Nostradamus, or the Bible itself there seems to be an almost mutual consent that we are on the verge of "something". One seemingly overlooked approach is to look at the patterns that accompanied the greatest changes of history. Primarily the bible will be used to set the parameters of these great historical and biblical transitions. However, the pages of history will also, not only, substantiate what the bible reveals but in some cases be the sole testimony of the change.

The premise to be considered is an often quoted but seldom fully explored statement from the book of Second Peter stating that a day with the Lord is as thousand years and that a thousand years are but a day. As history and biblical chronology are consulted it is found that at the present time we are near the beginning of the seventh thousand year day since the creation of Adam. If the typology and the previously stated premise are to be consistent with what is now happening this seventh millennial should be the beginning days of what is sometimes called the "millennial kingdom" which corresponds to the seventh day of creation in Genesis chapter one. This day was a day of rest called the Sabbath. For some this thousand year period is the coming of the Kingdom of God that Jesus told his disciples to pray to come ("thy Kingdom come") but as this premise is considered it is to be found that the Kingdom of God has been in progression since the beginning in the Garden of Eden.

The progression of the Kingdom of God through the ages is not a gradual ever upward gentle climb but rather a progression marked by very abrupt upward thrusts happening at very regular intervals of one thousand years. Study of these "millennial transitions" is the purpose of this writing. Please join as a follower of this blog as this very fascinating and important pattern of change is explored.
