Seven Days of Sukkoth

From God’s perspective a day is a 1000 years, 2 Peter 3:8.

8But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

In the Bible, the day begins at sunset the evening prior, Genesis 1:31.

31And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Actually it is not the evening prior, it is that man’s perspective that is skewed.  Many in the world today start the day anywhere from four to six hours late.

To start to straighten our perspective, we will start at the beginning of a week for convenience sake.  However, as we continue, hopefully it will be clear to you that it is more than convenience.  It is a shadow of good things to come.

If 2 Peter 3:8 and Genesis 1:31 are applied to the festival of Sukkoth.  (Refer to Chronology, Sukkoth, Days of the Week for illustration of the days described below.)

Adam lived in the first day of mankind.  That would be the first 1000 years.  This would have ended just before Sunday around twilight.

Abram answered the call in Genesis 12 approximately 2000 years from the beginning of Adam.  That would be the beginning of the third day.  This would be on Monday around twilight.

David and Solomon would have reigned about 3000 years from the beginning of Adam.  This would be the beginning of the fourth day.  This would be on Tuesday around twilight.

Yeshua went to the cross approximately 4000 years from the beginning of Adam.  This is the beginning of the 5th Day.  This would be Wednesday around twilight.

Today is approximately 2000 years from Messiah or 6000 years from the beginning of Adam.  This is the end of the 6th Day.  Therefore, it is Friday around twilight.

We are about to enter the Millennium, the 7th day.  It is the seventh 1000 year period since the beginning of Adam.  Therefore, mankind is about to enter the Sabbath.
