There was an interesting discussion I saw on another board about questioning if 2000 years have passed (the church age). In my research, if we estimate the death of Christ as 30AD, 2000 years on the Hebrew calendar would have already passed (their average days/year is 350, while the Gregorian is 365). Obviously no one knows the day or the hour Jesus is coming, but if you have anything to add to that (or any other topic on the end times such as mark of the beast, one world government, bible prophecy, etc. please share!
It should be noted that the Israelites were required to once a year go up to the temple/sanctuary of God and offer up a "Sin Sacrifice" for their transgressions.
Now since the Jewish calendar consisted of 30 day months with either 12 or 13 months for each year depending on when the Bailey was ready to harvest and the new moon could be observed around that time, so that the Jewish calendar year consisted of 360 days or 390 days when a thirteenth month was added to compensate for the consistent Solar years and seasons. The Gregorian calendar, on the other hand, every four years adds an additional day to the duration of February to correct the duration of this calendar to match the solar years as well.
In both cases the moving average duration of a year over a very long period of time, trends towards a year with around 365.25 days per year.
Now, the assumption that you have made in the quoted past, is that 2,000 years based on the Hebrew calendar is also wrong if you assume that the average Hebrew year only consisted of 360 days and needs to be corrected to account for actual solar years to 1,971.25 years, and if we add the year 29 AD which we believe/generally accept as the year in which Christ was crucified then the beginning of the last age should have been in the years 2,000 AD. However, it was not so. A day of the Lord is not 1,000 years, as we probably wrongly assume as the understanding of the word, thousand, to my way of understanding, is actually a corruption of "those hands" when run together quickly, orally, and is the largest number that can be counted on those hands.
From my research, the length of a "Day of the Lord" and an "age" has the same duration and that this can be proved from the scriptures and all from the Old Testament with the New Testament confirming this point of view. It is my view that the end of this present age will occur in around 20 or so years time from now and that the judgement of the wicked heavenly hosts in heaven and the kings of the earth on the earth will occur at that time as foretold by Isaiah in 24:21-22 and confirmed in the Book of Revelation.
But this is probably to far out of left field for you to be able to comprehend.
Yes, we are seeing some of the End Time prophecies being fulfilled, but our ability to be able to see their fulfilments depends on our ability to rightly understand and interpret the signs and confirmations that are contained in the scriptures. A confirmation that the end of this present age will be in around 20 or so years from now was given by Christ in three of the Gospels in varying forms and is best set out in Matt. 24:32.
There is much for us to learn from the scriptures that will help us to understand what is presently happening around us.
Shalom
