The Seven Covenant Days between God & Man: by O. P. Armstrong, July 2013

Introduction: This topic looks at the biblical seven days of determined time from a covenant perspective. This is to mitigate errors related to finding the determined time of ‘the age of man’ or ‘Anno Mundi’. TBC perspective is there are seven thousand years which relate to the Creator’s dealings with fallen man. The 7k years start at God’s redemptive covenant upon man’s fall and end with the abolition of Time and sin. When Satan is eternally bound and the New Jerusalem is established marks the abolition of time. Taking time to be linear, we have a ruler 7 units long to be mapped into a Gregorian calendar. Fixation of a singular point should map all other units into Gregorian years. The selected singular point is Saint John’s Baptism of Jesus in the river Jordon:

Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, while Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. And he went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins … When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened. And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, "You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased." Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, the son of Heli, …

This year of Jesus Baptism is most often taken as 27AD from which Christ established the Kingdom of God. From this point 4 days were past (unto 3974BC) and 3 days were future, unto 3027AD. Giving 30 years prior to 3974BC arrives at 4004AM as most often used by others. This 30 may be taken as age of Adam at time of 1st Covenant. Day.1: Adamic (3974BC), Day.2: Rainbow (2974BC), Day.3 Abrahamic (1974BC), Day.4 Temple (974BC), Day.5 (27 & 1027AD) &6 Christ & Church-Temple, Day.7 Rest unto 3027, Day 8 Begin Eternity. Remove a future one thousand year reign of the Millennium, a future seven years of tribulation, and a future 3.5 years from whence Satan is loosed to gather all nations against

Jerusalem to bring in ‘everlasting righteousness’ and eternity. These future times are about 1010 years. Subtract this from 3027 to arrive at 2017+/- 2 years. The remaining time is short indeed, between 2 and 6 years hence from 2013. R U prepared?

The first covenant for redemption of fallen mankind also is the start for seven thousand years of determined time. It is likely that mankind released his title of earth dominion to fallen principalities by yielding to their temptation. The yielded temptation was to join leagues with these fallen powers. The rebellious 1/3 of angels were cast away for seeking to make themselves equals to Jehovah. As misery desires companionship, Eve was likewise tempted by the devil; ‘does not Jehovah know that in the day when you partake the forbidden, that you will be an equal?, Eat! For you shall not die by partaking the forbidden.’From that instant forward Jehovah has been calling after mankind to return. For as by one, death passed to all, so by the promised redeemer of the 1st covenant may all return to eternal life. ‘’And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel."One aspect of the vineyard parable points to this determined time, ‘certain owner let out his vineyard and went away a long time ..’ Notice the word is ‘a long time’ not forever, which again alludes to a pre-determined time.

Specifically seven thousand years. Possibly it is erroneous to define ‘Anno Mundi’ or age of man starting from the creation. Scripture is but a love story of a jilted lover (Jehovah) calling out to his lost beloved. The testimony of scripture is of a faithful God towards unfaithful humanity, ‘Adam where are you?’ Soon the final chapter shall be penned, happy shall we be, if found good stewards of our talents upon his return.The quest here posed is: can we find other days of man’s times penned in redemption promises?

The Rainbow Covenant was given after the passage of flood waters over the earth. The rainbow, dove and olive branch are universal symbols of peace. These are apt symbols to signify the end of an age of violence. For we are told the destruction of the flood was visited upon earth’s inhabitants because man’s thoughts and actions towards his fellow man were continuously violent towards his neighbor. Doubtless there was also an abundance of covetousness as seen exhibited by certain greedy nations of this present hour. Were it not for the coming soon judgments upon earth, humanity would shortly war themselves to extinction. It was to this end God declared his peace:

And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. And Noah built an altar unto the LORD; ... and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man‘s sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more everything living, as I have done. While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. … I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. … and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.

The Chronicle of St. Jerome was composed around 380AD and became the primary available source of information on dates and events from the time of its composition until the end of the middle ages. Jerome’s work itself was a translation into Latin of the Chronicle of Eusebius of Caesarea, brought up to date, but it was through Jerome that it came to be so influential. Per the Jerome’s reckoning there were 942 years from The Flood unto Abraham’s birth or 1000 years from the flood unto Abrahams’ 58th year. This could also be viewed as 1000 years from Abe’s 75th year unto the re-establishment of civilized life under the Rainbow Covenant after the

flood. Jerome & Eusebius dates are thought to be based on the Samaritan Torah (Hebrew). Since the Exodus is best understood by the alternative text, ‘Egypt and Canaan’ there is room to better comprehend the ancient flood date by this alternative text.

The covenant of Abraham read thuslyNow the Lord had said to Abram: "Get out of your country, from your family and from your father's house, To a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. “So Abram departed as the Lord had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. … And they departed to go to the land of Canaan. So they came to the land of Canaan. Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, as far as the terebinth tree of Moreh. And the Canaanites were then in the land. Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, "To your descendants I will give this land." And there he built an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him. And he moved from there to the mountain east of Bethel, and he pitched his tent with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; there he built an altar to the Lord and called on the name of the Lord...And behold … Then He brought him outside and said, "Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them." And He said to him, "So shall your descendants be.“ And he believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.From Abe’s 75th year unto Solomon’s Temple is about 1000 years thusly: Abe 75th to Isaac at 100Y is 25 years, From Isaac to Jacob is 60 year. From Jacob to Exodus is 430 years, From Exodus to 5/7’s of Solomon Temple completion is 480 and 5 years or

There are marked 2 covenant days to Abe’s 75th from 27AD, which is 1974BC and one day forward from 1974BC is 974BC. From 974BC (as final capstones were being laid) unto Christ Baptism in 27AD, there are 1000 years. For 1459 BC Exodus to Solomon Temple dedication is 488 year, or 971 BC. From 971 BC unto Christ resurrection of His bodily Temple in 30AD is also 1000 years. Two days prior

The covenant of Temple (Christ Body or Eucharist) of the Seven 1000 Year Days of Covenants read thuslyThen Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord.. and spread out his hands toward heaven; and he said: "Lord God of Israel, there is no God in heaven above or on earth below like You, who keep Your covenant and mercy with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts. You have kept what You promised Your servant David my father; You have both spoken with Your mouth and fulfilled it with Your hand, as it is this day. Therefore, Lord God of Israel, now keep what You promised Your servant David my father, saying, 'You shall not fail to have a man sit before Me on the throne of Israel, only if your sons take heed to their way, that they walk before Me as you have walked before Me.‘ And now I pray, O God of Israel, let Your word come true, which You have spoken to Your servant David my father. But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You. How much less this temple which I have built! Yet regard the prayer of Your servant and his supplication, O Lord my God, and listen to the cry and the prayer which Your servant is praying before You today: that Your eyes may be open toward this temple night and day, toward the place of which You said, 'My name shall be there,' that You may hear the prayer which Your servant makes toward this place. And may You hear the supplication of Your servant and of Your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Hear in heaven Your dwelling place; and when You hear, forgive. "When anyone sins against his neighbor, .. then hear in heaven, and act, and judge Your servants, condemning the wicked, bringing his way on his head, and justifying the righteous by giving him according to his righteousness. "When Your people Israel are defeated before an enemy because they have sinned against You, and when they turn back to You and confess Your name, and pray and make supplication to You in this temple, then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of Your people Israel, and bring them back to the land which You gave to their fathers. "When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against You, when they pray toward this place and confess Your name, and turn from their sin because You afflict them, then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin

Page 8 of 22

The Seven Covenant Days between God & Man: by O. P. Armstrong, July 2013

of Your servants, .. and send rain on Your land which You have given to Your people as an inheritance. "When there is famine in the land, pestilence or blight or mildew, locusts or grasshoppers; When their enemy besieges them in the land of their cities; whatever plague or whatever sickness there is; whatever prayer, whatever supplication is made by anyone, or by all Your people Israel, when each one knows the plague of his own heart, and spreads out his hands toward this temple: then hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive, and act, and give to everyone according to all his ways, .. "Moreover, concerning a foreigner, who is not of Your people Israel, .. when he comes and prays toward this temple, hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You, that all peoples of the earth may know Your name and fear You, as do Your people Israel, and that they may know that this temple which I have built is called by Your name. "When Your people go out to battle against their enemy, wherever You send them, and when they pray to the Lord toward the city which You have chosen and the temple which I have built for Your name, then hear in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause. .. yet when they come to themselves in the land where they were carried captive, and repent, and make supplication to You .. saying, 'We have sinned and done wrong, we have committed wickedness'; .. then hear in heaven .. their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause, and forgive Your people .. grant them compassion before those who took them captive, ..For You separated them from among all the peoples of the earth to be Your inheritance, .. "Blessed be the Lord, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. There has not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised through His servant Moses. .. And may these words, .. be near the Lord our God day and night, that He may maintain the cause of .. His people.. as each day may require, .. Let your heart therefore be loyal to the Lord our God, to walk in His statutes and keep His commandments, as at this day.“

The covenant of Christ Kingdom of the Seven 1000 Year Days of Covenants read thuslyThe covenant of Christ Kingdom is simply stated: For until John were the Law and prophets, since that time the Kingdom of God is preached and every man presses into it. The manifestation of Christ Kingdom by his baptism at river Jordon (circa 27AD) has given us a new and better covenant by which we may boldly and directly come to the living God. Acceptance of the blood of Christ is our once and for all time atonement, whereby we may now boldly approach the throne of God. For if the blood of goats and rams were able to clear the conscience of men, there would be no need to yearly offer the same sacrifice. But the blood of Jesus is now our eternal peace with God. He that believes and is baptized shall be saved but he that believes not is condemned already. Why – for without faith it is impossible to please God. The good news is that just as with Abraham, he believed and it was counted to him as righteousness, so our faith in Christ work is our right standing before God. The rite of baptism is what separates the new from the old. Just as when Israel left Egypt (a type of the old life) their baptism by passage thru the red sea completed their break with Egypt. After their passage thru the baptism of the Red sea, the old life or Egypt was past and their passage into the land of promise begun. The presence of God is our light and darkness upon sin that it may not follow us thru the baptism. We were plainly told that the chariot wheels of sin’s pursuit fell off behind the cloud of baptism and the new man passed over on dry ground or without resistance. Thus the meaning of Christ as our eternal passed over to that new and better covenant. After all who wants to be a slave to the furnace of sin? As written, I believed so thusly I speak. For with the mouth confession is made unto salvation and with the heart man believes unto eternal righteousness. It is our baptism which seals us unto the day of redemption. For many yearned to see the day of Christ baptism but upon us who believe has the end of the ages appeared that we may hold firmly to our redemption of eternal life and the joy of a cleansed conscience. For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking but love joy and peace in the Holy Ghost. From Christ Baptism, about 27AD, through the Parousia unto the end of seven year tribulation there are 1996.5 years. Seven years prior to end of the hidden kingdom age (before 2017)

comes the Parousia return and start of wrath. Jesus told the same day Lot departed Sodom fire came from heaven & again, when the door of the Ark was closed came the flood of destruction upon the ungodly. The final half week of Daniel to ‘bring in everlasting righteousness and seal up prophesy is reserved until after the 1000 years, a total of 2000 kingdom years.

The covenant of Christ Kingdom of the Seven 1000 Year Days of Covenants read thusly

He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while. And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years. Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. The devil, which deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever

"Seventy weeks are determined For your people and for your holy city, To finish the transgression, To make an end of sins, To make reconciliation for iniquity, To bring in everlasting righteousness, To seal up vision and prophecy, And to anoint the Most Holy.

This begs the question: does man not sin again in rebellion after the thousand year millennium? So if this rebellion against ‘The Kingdom’ is sin, then when is ‘everlasting righteousness’ complete? It is proposed that the final half week of Daniels’ 70 weeks is only complete when the devil is tormented ‘forever and ever’, that is the ‘end of sin’ for where did sin start or rather who is the source of sin? Thus it is proposed that the seven thousand years of determined time runs from 3974BC unto 3027AD. Because the Sabbath rest is to be exactly 1,000 years, this final time from when man goes from peace to war footing is assigned to the two kingdom days that bring in everlasting righteousness by the Messianic word of his sword.
