Biblical Timeline Based on the 7,000-Year Plan (Life span of Earth)

1. Year 0 – Creation (Genesis 1-2)

  • God creates the world in six days and rests on the seventh.
  • Adam and Eve live in Eden until the Fall (Genesis 3).

2. Year 0 – ~4,000 BC (First 4,000 Years: From Adam to Christ)

Adam to Noah (~2,000 years) – The Antediluvian (pre-Flood) world. Noah’s Flood (~2,348 BC?) – Judgment and a new beginning. Tower of Babel (~2,200 BC?) – Scattering of nations. Abraham (~2,000 BC) – Covenant with Israel begins. Moses (~1,500 BC) – Exodus, Law given. David & Solomon (~1,000 BC) – Kingdom of Israel established. Prophets & Exile (~800-400 BC) – Warnings and Babylonian captivity. Silent Period (400 BC – 4 BC) – No inspired Scripture until Christ.

3. Year ~4,000 – ~6,000 (The Church Age & Tribulation)

  • Jesus’ Birth (~4 BC – AD 30) – The Messiah arrives near the 4,000-year mark.
  • Crucifixion & Resurrection (~AD 30-33) – Redemption for mankind.
  • Church Age (~AD 33 – Present?) – Gospel spreads to all nations (Matthew 24:14).
  • Rapture (Imminent?) – Believers taken before God’s wrath (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).
  • 7-Year Tribulation (Daniel 9:27, Revelation 6-19) – Final 7 years before Christ’s return.
    • First 3.5 years: Rise of Antichrist, false peace.
    • Second 3.5 years: Great Tribulation, wrath, Two Witnesses, Armageddon.

4. Year ~6,000 – ~7,000 (Millennial Kingdom – Revelation 20)

  • Christ returns at the end of the Tribulation (~6,000-year mark).
  • Satan bound for 1,000 years (Revelation 20:1-3).
  • Righteous rule with Christ (Isaiah 2:4, 11:6-9).
  • Final Rebellion & Judgment (Revelation 20:7-15) – Satan released briefly, then eternal judgment.

5. Year ~7,000+ (Eternity – New Heaven & Earth)

  • Great White Throne Judgment (Revelation 20:11-15).
  • New Jerusalem descends (Revelation 21-22).
  • Eternal state begins – No more sin, death, or suffering.

Evidence Supporting the 7,000-Year Framework

  1. Psalm 90:4 & 2 Peter 3:8 – “A day is like a thousand years to the Lord.”
  2. Jewish Tradition – Ancient rabbis (e.g., Talmud, Sanhedrin 97a) taught a 6,000-year labor period followed by a 1,000-year Sabbath.
  3. Early Church Fathers – Irenaeus, Barnabas, and others referenced this pattern.
  4. Creation Week Pattern – Genesis sets a template for history (Exodus 20:11).


Two Days (2,000 Years) from Jesus’ First Coming

📍 70 ADDestruction of Jerusalem
📍 1948 ADIsrael becomes a nation again (A key prophecy fulfillment)
📍 ~2030 AD?Expected Second Coming of Jesus? (Based on the idea of “two days” = 2000 years from His first coming)
📍 Millennial Reign (1000 Years)The 7th Day (Rest & Peace)

The Pattern of 2,000-Year Intervals in Biblical History

Biblical history appears to follow a pattern of major events occurring roughly every 2,000 years:

PeriodKey Events
0 – 2,000 YearsAdam to Abraham (Patriarchal Age)
2,000 – 4,000 YearsAbraham to Jesus (Law & Prophets)
4,000 – 6,000 YearsJesus to Present (Church Age)
6,000 – 7,000 YearsMillennial Kingdom (Restoration)

Each 2,000-year period marks a major shift in God’s plan. If this pattern holds, the next major event (Jesus’ return ) could be approaching as early as [2027-2029].

Prophetic Signs Aligning with Modern Events

Even though we cannot pinpoint the exact time of Jesus’ return, He did say:
“When you see all these things, you know that it is near—right at the door.” (Matthew 24:33)

Today, many prophetic signs seem to be aligning, including:
Israel becoming a nation again (1948) – Fulfillment of Isaiah 66:8.
Technology for global control (Mark of the Beast?) – Revelation 13:16-17.
Increase in wars, plagues, earthquakes, and moral decline – Matthew 24:6-8.

Since Jesus said that His return would be “soon” after these signs (Matthew 24:34), some believe we are approaching the end of the 2,000-year waiting period.

Summary

  • The first 4,000 years (4 “days”) cover from Adam to Jesus.
  • The next 2,000 years (2 “days”) are from Jesus’ resurrection to the present time.
  • The 7th “day” (1,000 years) is believed to be Jesus’ Millennial Kingdom, a time of peace before the final judgment.

This timeline suggests we are near the end of the 6,000 years (6 “days”), meaning Jesus’ return could be anytime soon according to biblical prophecy.

The Bible contains several references to “two days” or actions that take place within a two-day period, though they may not be the exact phrase “in two days.” Here are a few notable references:

  1. John 11:6 – In the story of the resurrection of Lazarus, it mentions that Jesus stayed two more days before going to Lazarus:
    • “So, when He heard that he was sick, He stayed two more days in the place where He was.” (John 11:6, NKJV)
  2. Matthew 26:2 and Mark 14:1 – The reference to the Passover and the chief priests plotting to kill Jesus:
    • “You know that after two days is the Passover, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.” (Matthew 26:2, NKJV)
  3. Hosea 6:2 – A prophetic passage referring to a two-day period in the context of Israel’s restoration:
    • After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His sight.” (Hosea 6:2, ESV)

These examples highlight instances where “two days” plays a key role in the narrative or prophecy, with some relating to Jesus’ actions and others referencing Old Testament prophecies.
