If God created the world and everything in it in 6 days, and rested on the Seventh day When does Messiah return. At the end of the sixth day, or the end of the Seventh?

That’s a good question, and shows a deeper understanding of the Sabbath

The deciples once asked a similar question to our lord but He replied them by saying: it is not for you to know times and dates. Watch and pray that you fall not into temptation and Christ will come like a thief in the night when you less expect.

The creation isn’t prophecy about Christ’s second coming.
-
The two have no correlation……. Six days of creation are six days…… not 6 yrs…… not 6000 years…… not 600000000 years. The Scriptures do not tell when Christ will return, even though it does tell how the world will be when it happens.

When the time is right just like when He came the first time when the time was right, don’t make it harder than what it is
-
We do not know and the attempt to nail down a day of the week is pure folly.
-
Not relevant. Jesus himself said nobody knows the day or the hour.
-
No one knows the day or the hour. However Christ has given us enough hope and keys through His death and resurrection, and the written word to enable us live a sanctified life, as we wait with joyful hope for His return

Lol that question could easily read, “if the sky is blue and grass is green, whats the answer to 5 x 5?

One of the hidden messages I think is a good indicator is the Bible says a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years is like a day to God. I understand the literal interpretation of that meaning God is not bound by time basically. I get it. However let’s take it literally for a second just for fun. That would mean that the creation week would account for 7000 years. Let’s see how those years would divide up.
From Adam to the flood roughly 2000 years. 2 daysFrom the flood to Christ 2000 years. 2 days
From Christ to today. 2000 years. 2 days.
So right there is 6 days accounted for.
Millennial reign of Christ is 1000 years. 1 day.
So there is 7 days counted for biblically if we was to assume a day is a literal 1000 years to God.
Another example. Christ died was burried and rose again in 3 days. Apply the same principle. We need to account for 3 days.
Day one was from 1ad to 1000ad. Day 2 was from 1001ad to 2000ad. Day 3 is from 2001ad to ? Now my question is, when did Christ come out of the tomb? Early on the 3rd day. Technically we are living early in the 3rd day right now.Take it for what you want, I’m sure some will get all theological on me and post opinions of doctrines and such to dispute this. That’s fine. I’m just saying agree with it or not it’s still pretty cool.

God is the One who only knows she it is time

Very good! Here’s a thought. Have you heard the prophecy that Messiah will come at the 77th Jubilee? Take for instance 50 years x 77 Jubilees equals 3850 years.
Have you heard of Ephraim the Syrian?
He writes “Understand now and see, O my brother Nemesius, that in the days of Yared, in his fortieth year, the FIRST Thousand Years came to an end. In the six hundredth year of Noah p. 221 the SECOND Thousand Years came to an end. In the seventy-fourth year of Reu the THIRD Thousand Years came to an end. In the twenty-sixth year of Ahor (Ehud) the FOURTH Thousand Years came to an end. In the second year of Cyrus the FIFTH Thousand Years came to an end. And in the five hundredth year of the SIXTH Thousand Years Christ was born in His human form.”
From the book of the Cave of Treasures.This is one man’s take. Ephraim was born in AD 303 and died in AD 373. There are other angles.
Now, the whole reason I brought up the 7000 years is because 7000 years is just as valid as 6000 years as you all mentioned above.
I understand there are naysayers, and scoffers, but maybe posts like these will get them thinking.
Maybe that’s easier? -
