Jun 2013

is 7000 years. It's easy to see why, because to God a day is like a thousand years, and God created the universe in 6 days and on the seventh rested. The last 1000 years of the 7000 will be marked by the return and rule of Jesus.

I calculate, depending on Bishop Ussher, that the beginning of the thousand year reign of Jesus should fall around 1996. in the ordinary reckoning of years. I'm looking forward anxiously to the arrival of that year.

Because it is a cartoon. Buzz Clik Jun 2013 #52
