reddneo- I would suggest you go and look up Early Church Leader's Commentaries on God's Word and read about thier "6 day, 6,000 year" belief taught thru the first 350 years of the early church. They went biblically as such- 1- God created the Earth in 6 days and rested on the 7th. 2- Therefore, because 1 day to God is as 1,000 years to man, man will exist on Earth for 6,000 years. 3rd- At the end of 6,000 years, Jesus will return for His 1,000 year reign on earth- (7th Day of Rest). 4- After that reign, then its eternity of man with God in the New Heaven, on the New Earth, with the New Jerusalem. Here are the holes in your teaching- 1- Rev. 6:12 you claimed was related to the bodily return of Christ. False. That is only the opening of the 6st seal. Thats one whole day short of God's original creation and 7th day rest process. Rather, this would be more the description of the Rapture from chaps 6-7, denoting the fact the Children are sealed and brought to Heaven. Why? It isn't till chap. 8, the 7th Seal and more judgements await being applied to the earth. 2- Rev. 9 now pictures Satan being put into the bottomless pit. This is at the start of Christ's 1,000 year reign, and Satan is kept there until that "reign" is over, then loosed again for a short time. 3- There is no mention of the "sign of the son of man" in Rev. 7:1- "And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree." Instead, an angel right after that in v 2 is told to take the seal of God and place that seal on each of his children- (Rapture). Why? V 9- "After this and i beheld, and lo a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and peoples, and tongues, stood before the Throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in thier hands." (Refer 9:9-12, with Rev. 19:5-9- identical.) The description of the "Rapture", not bodily return of Christ. God always sticks to the specific reasonings of numbers that are special to Him in every instance where applied- 3- God the trinity- man has a spirit- (spiritual body), soul- (spirit intellect) and physical body. Spirit intellect stands for (God the Father). Spirit body- (Holy Spirit), and physical body- (Jesus Christ). Plus more. 6- Perfection- Aspects of the portable Tabrnacle God had Moses construct. Plus more. 7- Finished work- Lamp stand in first portable Tabernacle God had Moses build. 6 day work week, with 7th day of rest. Plus more. 40- Cleansing, purification- God had Moses wait 40 years after mistake to lead Jews out of captivity. God had Jews wander for 40 years to start with a new Generation to enter Promised Land. Plus more. You'll find as well, Satan imitates every single one God holds of importance also- 3- Dragon, anti-christ, false prophet/religious leader. As such, we need to keep this in mind, when learning to understand God's Word as a whole, for keeping in context to his original reasonings for such usage, in all references to such, He makes. Instead, yes, there is clear reference God makes in the seal, bowl and trumpet judgements all refering to the number "7". Each of those sets of judgements count to "7", which relates to the fact at "7", His work shall be finished, per "judgement" applied. Clearly showing minor to major similarities each, to the return of christ during the 7th of each, as well as something new, fresh, etc, after the 7th one is done. And Rev. 20:7 is a description of the start of the "7th Day" of Rest, because the Angel has a chain to bind satan and cast him temporarily into a bottomless pit, (not the Lake of Fire), until Jesus' 1,000 year reign is over and loosed again- Rev. 20:7. Then at 20:10, now Satan and his followers are cast into the Lake of Fire, to prepare for God's eternal existance with man soon to come, after the GWTJ Day. Your topic was very interesting, but am afraid the references were a bit off. Otherwise, very good. God Bless!!
