The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 529
“one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day” (2 Peter 3:8).
This is very clear. Therefore, a week equals 7,000 years.
Jesus told his disciples: “Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall
not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.” (Matthew 16:28) While
the Bible is true, many have puzzled over what Jesus meant because the disciples have all passed
away. Since he was not speaking of the original disciples, when was the time he was speaking
of? David Eells provides the answer in his excellent book Hidden Manna For The End Times.
Jesus does everything for a reason. He spoke these words to the disciples six days before
the transfiguration. Following this statement made by Jesus, we read in Mathew 17:1 and 2:
“And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an
high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his
raiment was white as the light.”
So when Jesus said: “some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the
Son of man coming in his kingdom”, He was speaking of after 6-days which literally means after
6,000 years. This is the time period we are now in. Some which are living in this time period
shall not taste death till they see Jesus return in the clouds. This is supported by other texts as
well.
In Hosea we read:
“
For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house
of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him. I will go
and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction
they will seek me early.” (Hosea 5:14-15) What Hosea is saying is that the Lion of Judah will go
away and return to his place. He will not return until Israel shall acknowledge their offense and
seek His face. The Lion of Judah is Jesus and His place is at the right hand of the Father in
heaven (Acts 2:32-33).
Hosea continues: “After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up,
and we shall live in his sight.” (Hosea 6:2) After 2,000 years (2 days), Jesus will revive us, His
followers, and in the beginning of the third day He return for us in order to take us to heaven. To
revive means to be restored from sickness, discouragement, and death. This is what Jesus does
for us when he returns. Then will will spend the third day (1,000 years) with him in heaven. This
is also the seventh day of the prophetic week.
Using the genealogies in the bible we know that the flood occurred approximately two
thousand years after creation. The birth of Jesus was about 4,000 years after creation. Jesus was
crucified, resurrected from the dead and returned to heaven between 31 and 33 AD. Therefore, if
we are to be revived at his second coming in accordance with the prophecy of Hosea, it should
be two thousand years (two prophetic days) after Jesus returned to heaven. This will be between
2031 and 2033.
It return of Jesus could also be earlier since a partial day can be counted as a day. Such as
23 or 24 hours could be rounded off to one day. We can calculate how many years it takes to
equal 1-hour. If one day equals a thousand years, then one hour equals 41-years. This brings the
prophecy of Hosea into perfect harmony with what Jesus prophesied in Matthew 24 in the
parable of the fig tree.
