Isaiah 53 from the Aleppo Codex

Who has believed Our report? And to whom has the arm of יהוה been revealed? For He comes up as a tender plant before Him, and as a Root out of a dry ground. He has no form, nor honor, when we observe Him, nor beauty, that we should desire Him. He was despised, and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief. And as one hiding His countenance from us, He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows, yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by Elohim, and afflicted. And He was pierced for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned each to his own way, and יהוה has laid on Him את the punishment of us all. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth. He was led as a Lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, He did not open His mouth. By oppression and trial was taken away, and who can speak of את His descendants? For He was cut off from the land of the living, for the transgressions of My people He was stricken. And He made His grave with את the wicked, and with את the rich in His death, because He had done no violence, nor was any deceit in His mouth. Yet it pleased יהוה to bruise Him and to cause Him to suffer, and though יהוה makes His life an offering for sin, He will see His offspring and prolong His days, and the will of יהוה will prosper in His hand. He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, for He shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will give Him a portion with the great, and shall divide את the spoil with the strong, because He poured out His soul even to death, and was numbered with את the transgressors, and He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

The Calendar Restoration Project is a historical work in progress to restore the Creation Calendar of Scripture. Based on the whole counsel of Scripture, it is evident that the Creation Calendar is a 7000 year calendar modeled on the seven days of creation. It is composed of 140 Jubilee Cycles of 50 years.

From Psalm 90:4 and 2 Peter 3:8, the Scriptures teach that the Millennial Sabbath and the Age of Life with יהושע the Messiah will begin after 6000 Years since the true epoch of creation.

We believe the Sabbaths, New Moons, Appointed Times and Festivals of יהוה have been correctly restored. We also believe that this site correctly teaches how to determine the Hebrew Hour, Hebrew Day, Hebrew Month and Hebrew Year.

We are watching, hoping, and praying that the Messiah will come soon. The final goal of the Calendar Restoration Project is to successfully determine the true epoch of creation.

יהושע the Messiah is not delaying His coming. יהושע will come on time. We must all keep watching as the Master has said, to see something many have longed to see - the resurrection of the just.

By entering this website you acknowledge that the date posted for the epoch of creation is provisional, and is conditional upon historical proof which is not yet published.

The 7000 Year Plan of Elohim

The prophet Moses said in Psalms 90:4 that 1000 years was as one day in the sight of Elohim. As time passed, the Spirit of Truth revealed that there was a corresponding theme between each of the seven millennial days of mankind's history and the seven Hebrew Days in the creation sequence. On Day One of creation, on the first day of the week on Yom Ri-shon, light was separated from darkness, and in the first millennium Adam's sin separated him from Elohim's light. On the second day, on Yom She-ni, there was a separation of the waters above and below, and in the second millennium, the waters above and below were used in judgment. On the third day, on Yom Shli-shi, plants yielding seed were created, and in the third millennium a promise was made to Abraham, that through his seed - יהושע the Messiah - all the nations of the earth would be blessed.

On the fourth day on Yom Re-vi-i the lights in heaven were created, and in the fourth millennium kings and prophets were given as lights to Israel and יהושע the Messiah was born. On the fifth day on Yom Ham-i-shi living creatures were created, and in the fifth millennium יהושע the Messiah died that we might become new creatures inheriting eternal life. On the sixth day on Yom Shi-shi man was told to fill the earth and subdue it, and in the sixth millennium man has filled the earth and subdued it. On the seventh day on Sha-bat Elohim rested, and in the seventh millennium the earth will be restored and man will rest in the Millennial Sabbath - the Age of Life - the Millennial Kingdom. In 2 Peter 3:8, Peter said not to be ignorant of this one thing - with יהוה one day is as 1000 years and 1000 years is as one day.

In the Creation Calendar, there are 12 Hebrew Hours of equal duration between sunset and sunrise, and 12 Hebrew Hours of equal duration between sunrise and sunset. Hebrew Days begin and end at the moment of sunset. Hebrew Months begin when the moon's crescent first becomes potentially visible to the naked eye in Jerusalem, and they are numbered from 1 to 12 in a regular year, or from 1 to 13 in a leap year. Hebrew Years are based on the seasons which are determined by the position of the earth in relation to the sun at the equinoxes and solstices. Hebrew Years are determined by the rule of the equinox which always places Day 15 / Month 1 on or after the Hebrew Day of the spring equinox.

The Scriptures teach in Exodus 12:1-2 that a Spiritual Year begins in Month 1 in late winter or early spring. The Scriptures teach in Leviticus 25:8-10 that a Civil Year begins in Month 7 in late summer or early fall. There are three types of Civil Years color coded in the Creation Calendar. In the 50 Year Jubilee Cycle, a Sabbatical Year occurs every seventh year and is colored blue, and the fiftieth Jubilee Year is colored purple. A regular Civil Year is neither a Sabbatical nor a Jubilee Year and is tan colored. The special Jubilee Year begins on Day 10 of Month 7 on Yom Kippur according to Leviticus 25:9 and Ezekiel 40:1. All other Civil Years begin on Day 1 of Month 7 on Yom Teruah. As the Jubilee Year governs all Civil Years in the Jubilee Cycle, all Civil Years must begin in Month 7 in late summer or early fall.

In the Beginning

In Genesis 1:1, יהוה Elohim created the heaven and the earth referring to Olam She'avar or The World that Was in Hebraic thought when everything was perfect. In Genesis 1:2, the earth became desolate and ruined and the order of the universe was threatened when Satan rebelled causing a disruption of the world. Elohim created the dimension of time in order to indicate when the order in His universe would be restored, as well as when it would be perfected and return to its original state after 7000 years of history is completed when New Jerusalem descends on Olam Haba or The World to Come in Hebraic thought.

The universe was perfect before the disruption of the world occurred on Day 17 / Month 2 in Year 1 of Jubilee Cycle 1. In Hebraic thought, the Jubilee Year, which is Year 50 of the Jubilee Cycle, represents the original, perfected state in which Elohim created the world and intended it to exist. יהוה Elohim indicated in Genesis 6:3 that He would not strive with man after 120 Jubilee Cycles of 50 years. As Leviticus 25:8-11 teaches a 50 year Jubilee Cycle, it follows logically that the Age of Life will begin shortly after Jubilee Year 120, after 6000 years, in Year 6001 in Jubilee Cycle 121. Consequently, the perfection of the universe will occur after 7000 years in Olam Haba in The World to Come in Year 7001 in Jubilee Cycle 141.

The Year of Jubilee - A Prelude to the Restoration of All Things

The Jubilee Year became important to the children of Israel during the Age of Instruction. The instruction to count the Jubilee Cycle was given to enlighten mankind on when the restoration of the universe will occur in Year 1 of Jubilee Cycle 121, and when the perfection of the universe occurs in Year 1 of Jubilee Cycle 141.

The Jubilee Year represents the restoration of law, order, justice, peace, freedom, prosperity and harmony in the universe - or the restoration of all things in Hebraic thought. The Messiah said in Matthew 17:10-13 that the restoration of all things was linked with Elijah whom He said was John the Immerser. Peter prophesied in Acts 3:19-23 that the heavens would receive the Messiah of Israel until the time of the restoration of all things which is destined to occur on Day 17 of Month 2 in 2022 C.E. At this time יהושע the Messiah will return and save all of those who hear Him. For those who do not hear Him, it will be required of them at the end of the Age of the Messiah to fulfill the word of יהוה in Deuteronomy 18:15-19. The perfection of the universe occurs after Satan and his followers are cast into the Lake of Fire on Day 17 of Month 2 in 3022 C.E. according to Revelation 20:7-9.

The World that Was - The Time Before Time

The time before Day One in the universe is referred to as Olam She'avar / The World that Was in Hebraic thought. That was when the foundation of the earth was laid according to Job 38:4, Psalms 102:25, Isaiah 48:13, Zechariah 12:1 and Hebrews 1:10. יהושע the Messiah was foreordained in The World that Was before the disruption of the world according to John 17:24, 1 Peter 1:17-21, and 2 Timothy 1:8-11. Paul taught Titus that the Age of Life was promised to Elohim's elect before the time of the ages in The World that Was according to Titus 1:1-3.

The children of Elohim were chosen during Olam She'avar before the disruption of the world according to Ephesians 1:3-6. יהושע the Messiah said in John 15:26-27 that the Spirit of Truth would testify of Him, and that His disciples would bear witness of this because they have been with Him from the beginning of creation. This contrasts greatly with those whose father is the devil who are against יהושע the Messiah. The devil was a murderer from the beginning of creation as יהושע said in John 8:42-44.

In Genesis 6:3 Elohim told Noah He would not strive with man throughout all the ages, and in Isaiah 57:15-16 He gives the reason why. יהוה said that He will not strive through all the ages but will revive the spirits of the humble and the contrite (a reference to the resurrection of the righteous at the end of the Age of the Messiah) because "the spirit would fail before Me, and the souls of those whom I have made." From these words it is understood that the souls of all people existed before the physical universe was created.

In Paul's mind, the children of Elohim were chosen in The World that Was / Olam She'avar before the disruption of the world and the creation of the physical universe. This is why, in Ephesians 1:3-6, Paul believed that the children of Elohim were chosen in Him before the disruption of the world. Based on the understanding of his day, Paul believed there are heavenly places where the souls of the unborn are kept until it is time for them to be conceived. In Paul's day, many believed that the redemption that is to come through the Messiah would not come until every soul that Elohim has created had been implanted in an embryo. In his understanding, the souls which Elohim has created must be joined to a physical body (an embryo) before the Messiah returns and the Age of Life begins.

One of the reasons procreation is so important in Hebraic thought is because of the belief that procreation will result in the ultimate deliverance of mankind. The first commandment is to be fruitful and multiply according to Genesis 1:28. In 1 Timothy 2:14-15, Paul taught Timothy that procreation will result in the ultimate deliverance of mankind. In 1 Corinthians 15:54, Paul said that every redeemed soul which Elohim has made will be granted a spiritual body in the Age of Life. In Luke 20:34-38, the Messiah indicated that the redeemed will be given spiritual bodies in the Age of Life. He said that the resurrected who are considered worthy to attain the Age of Life will not marry or be given in marriage as they will be "equal to the angels."

During Olam She'avar / The World that Was everything in the universe was perfect as every spiritual being was obedient to Elohim. At the end of Olam She'avar the earth became desolate and ruined according to Genesis 1:2. This chaotic darkness refers to the rebellion of Satan. The Hebrew word used for desolate in Genesis 1:2 is tohū תהו which is the name given to the age that is defined by its epoch - the Age of Tohu or the Age of Desolation. Isaiah prophesied in Isaiah 45:18-19 that יהוה did not create the world desolate [tohū תהו ]. The earth evidently became desolate [ תהו ] and ruined [ ובהו ] after Satan, the first rebel, fell from heaven.

The Disruption of the World - The Satanic Rebellion

At the moment Satan rebelled he was cast out of the Third Heaven and there was a separation between light and darkness in the spiritual universe. This rebellion caused a disruption of the world. The separation of light from darkness was a separation between righteousness and wickedness in the spiritual universe, as the lights in the physical universe had not yet been created. The apostle Paul said in 1 Thessalonians 5:1-5 there were children of light and children of darkness. In John 12:36, יהושע the Messiah advised everyone to believe in Him and to become children of light.

The separation of light from darkness, or the fall of Satan, is described by Elohim in Genesis 1:3-5. Isaiah compared the fall of Satan with the fall of the king of Babylon in Isaiah 14:12-15. Ezekiel used the king of Tyre as a metaphor for Satan in Ezekiel 28:11-19. The expulsion of Satan from heaven is told again from the perspective of יהושע the Messiah in Luke 10:18. יהושע said in John 8:44 that the devil was a murderer from the beginning and this is when he was expelled from the Third Heaven. The separation of light from darkness, or the fall of Satan, initiated the creation of the physical universe at sunset beginning Creation Day 1 on Day 17 / Month 2 / Year 1.

The Creation Calendar's epoch (reference date) for the creation of the physical universe is Yom Ri-shon (the first day of the week) on Creation Day 1 on Day 17 / Month 2 / Year 1 in Jubilee Cycle 1. This was at the time of sunset in Jerusalem on Saturday, June 8, 3979 B.C.E. on the proleptic (retro-calculated) Julian Calendar.

The first day of creation began at the moment when Elohim separated light from darkness according to Genesis 1:3-5. The physical universe began when Elohim judged a rebellion of Satan, the prince of this world, who was a murderer from the beginning according to John 8:44, John 12:31, 14:30, 16:7-11 and 1 John 3:8.

Satan's rebellion resulted in a disruption of the world that is mentioned in Matthew 13:33-35, 25:34, Luke 11:49-51, Hebrews 4:3, 9:26, Revelation 13:8 and Revelation 17:8. The word for disruption (katabolē καταβολη) is often mistranslated as foundation. The verb kataballō καταβαλλω means casting down or overthrow as can be seen in 2 Corinthians 4:8-10. E. W. Bullinger says in Appendix 146 of the Companion Bible that the noun katabolē καταβολη, derived from and cognate with the verb kataballō καταβαλλω, ought to be translated disruption or ruin.

The disruption or ruin of the world occurred at the time it was tohū va-bohū תהו ובהו which has been translated in Genesis 1:2 as formless and void. These words tohū va-bohū תהו ובהו are more accurately translated as desolate and ruined. The disruption of the world occurred when the earth became desolate and ruined from Satan's rebellion. The Midrash Rabbah 2.4 interprets the Spirit of Elohim hovering over the face of the waters as being the Spirit of Messiah, and further links the Spirit of יהוה in Isaiah 11:1-2 as resting on the Messiah. At the moment of the disruption, Elohim initiated the seven day creation sequence and the Present Age and the Age of Desolation.

Light Was Separated from Darkness at the Dawning of the Day

Based on a prophecy of Peter, we believe the Spirit of the Messiah hovered over the face of the waters for 12 Hebrew Night Hours, and that He divided light from darkness at the dawning of the day, at sunrise on Day One of creation. Shortly before he died, Peter recounted when יהושע the Messiah transfigured on Mount Hermon on Day 14 / Month 7 on the Eve of Sukkot in 33 C.E. (2 Peter 1:16-21). When Peter spoke of the dawning of the day, he prophesied the hour in which the vision occurred at sunrise at the dawning of the day on the Eve of Sukkot in 33 C.E., as well as the hour the vision will be fulfilled when יהושע the Messiah will come in His Kingdom around the time of sunrise in Israel at the dawning of the day when the Seventh Millennium begins.

There are several accounts of the seven day creation sequence of the physical universe. Genesis 1:3-2:3 tells the entire story in the order it happened. Genesis 2:4-6 recounts events from the first five days of creation and gives details of the mist that arose from the ground to water the earth before Elohim caused it to rain. Genesis 2:7-25 gives details of events that happened in the Garden of Eden on the sixth day of creation.

The tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and other trees that were pleasant to the eye and good for food were created in the Garden of Eden on the sixth day (Genesis 2:9). The rest of the world was full of trees before this on the third day (Genesis 1:11-13). Birds were created from the ground in the Garden of Eden on the sixth day for man to name (Genesis 2:19). Birds were created from water before this on the fifth day (Genesis 1:20-23) Some animals were created in the Garden of Eden on the sixth day to be named by man after man was created (Genesis 2:19-20). Some animals were created on the sixth day before man was created (Genesis 1:24-25). As some animals, birds and trees were created in the Garden of Eden after man was created, man became a witness to Elohim's creative acts.

Six days after the disruption of the world on Creation Day 1 on Day 17 of Month 2 / Year 1, the physical body of Adam was formed from the earth on Creation Day 6 on Day 22 / Month 2 / Year 1. The physical body of Hawah was formed from Adam's rib on this day. When Elohim breathed into Adam's nostrils, Adam's sprit was joined to his body and he became a living soul (Genesis 2:7). Adam and Hawah are the father and mother of mankind, and all people living on earth today can trace their genetic heritage back to them. Every person's physical body descends from Adam and Hawah's physical bodies.

The Creation Calendar's epoch (reference date) for the transition from the Age of Desolation to the Age of Instruction is sunset in Jerusalem beginning Yom Shi-shi (the sixth day of the week) on Day 17 / Month 2 / Year 2001 in Year 1 of Jubilee Cycle 41 in 1979 B.C.E. This was at the time of sunset in Jerusalem on Thursday, May 8, 1979 B.C.E. on the proleptic (retro-calculated) Julian Calendar. As Moses received the tôrâh תורה or important instructions from Mount Sinai during this age, it is named the Age of Instruction. All of the Hebrew prophets from Elijah to Malachi lived during this age.

David knew during the Age of Instruction that his soul would not be abandoned in Sheol at the first death (Psalms 16:10). Sheol, which is often translated as the grave, is a place where thinking and awareness ceases (Psalms 6:5, Ecclesiastes 9:5), where there is no working, or planning, or knowledge, or wisdom (Ecclesiastes 9:10) or hope (Isaiah 38:18). In almost all cases, the future outcome of an individual soul has been decided at the first death. In some special cases, people such as Lazarus have been raised to life after the first death (John 11:43-44), thereby having their mortal lives temporarily extended in the Present Age.

The Creation Calendar's epoch (reference date) for the transition from the Age of Instruction to the Age of the Messiah is sunset in Jersusalem beginning Yom Ham-i-shi (the fifth day of the week) on Day 17 / Month 2 / Year 4001 since the creation, in 22 C.E. This was at the time of sunset in Jerusalem on Wednesday, May 6, 22 C.E. on the proleptic (retro-calculated) Julian Calendar.

יהושע the Messiah was 23 years old when the Age of the Messiah began on Day 17 of Month 2 in 22 C.E. יהושע the Messiah came as the Redeemer at the beginning of the Age of the Messiah (Luke 24:21, Galatians 4:4-5, Titus 2:11-14). According to Luke 3:23, the Messiah was 30 years old when He read from the scroll of Isaiah in the synagogue in Nazareth on the High Sabbath, on New Moon 7 in 28 C.E., on the first day of Shemittah Cycle 562 (Luke 4:16-30, Isaiah 61:1-2). The Messiah will return as the King of Israel (Matthew 27:41-42, Mark 15:31-32, John 1:49, John 12:12-13) and Saviour of the world (John 4:42, 1 John 4:14) at the end of this age on Day 17 of Month 2 in 2022 C.E. His work at both the beginning and end of this age gives the Age of Messiah its name.

The Last Days and the Age of the Messiah

The last four millennial days in the 7000 Year Plan of Elohim are called the last days. This critical point has gone unrecognized by many who have not understood the span of history covered by this phrase. There are many fascinating prophecies about the last days.

Jacob prophesied about the last days in Genesis 49:1. Balaam prophesied about them in Numbers 24:14. Moses prophesied about them in Deuteronomy 4:30-32 and 31:29. Ezekiel used this phrase in Ezekiel 38:16 to refer to the time when Gog / Nebuzaradan, and Magog / the army of Babylon were destroyed by fire from heaven on New Moon 7 in 588 B.C.E. in the fourth millennial day. Isaiah spoke of the last days in Isaiah 2:2. Jeremiah spoke of them in Jeremiah 23:20, 30:24, 48:47 and 49:39. Daniel spoke of them in Daniel 2:28 and 10:14. Hosea spoke of them in Hosea 3:5. Joel spoke of them in Joel 2:28-32. Micah spoke of them in Micah 4:1. Paul spoke of them in 2 Timothy 3:1. The writer of Hebrews spoke of them in Hebrews 1:1-2. James spoke of them in James 5:3. Peter quoted the prophet Joel about the last days in Acts 2:17, and he also referred to them in 2 Peter 3:3-4.

The Age of the Messiah takes place in the fifth and sixth millennial days. The Age of Life is also in the last days as it is the seventh millennial day. The Messiah raised Lazarus from the dead in the Age of the Messiah and the disciples were confused when the Messiah told them Lazarus was sleeping until He explained to them that Lazarus was dead (John 11:11-15). The Messiah also taught a parable in which a beggar went to a place the Pharisees believed was Abraham's bosom while a rich man went to a place of torment (Luke 16:19-31). יהושע the Messiah taught in parables in order to reveal truth to the spiritually enlightened while concealing truth from the spiritually blind (Mark 4:11-12, Luke 8:10) thereby fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah 6:9-10.

The parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus is an allegory in which the Messiah used symbolic language to condemn false teachers, false shepherds and the merciless rich - represented in the parable by the Pharisees (Luke 16:14). The parable teaches that the decisions a person makes in the Present Age have lasting implications for one's future. After death there is no opportunity for a person to change the outcome.

The Resurrection of the Righteous and the Damned

The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus teaches that after death there are only two possibilities: the resurrection of the righteous or the resurrection of the damned. יהושע spoke this parable to the Pharisees who believed that two people who knew each other in life could hold conversations after death, even though in reality this is impossible. The rich man was an upper class Pharisee, and Lazarus was (from a Pharisaical perspective) in a class with the dogs or the Gentiles.

In Pharisaical thought, Abraham's bosom was a place where those of the faith of Abraham are gathered after death. The name Lazarus (Eleazar) was used for the beggar because it means El has helped. In the end, Lazarus attains to the resurrection of the righteous and Abraham's bosom - the Age of Life, while the rich Pharisee attains to the resurrection of the damned and a place of torment - the Lake of Fire. This parable is a stiff indictment against all false teachers, false shepherds and the merciless rich.

Paul said during the Age of the Messiah that a person has a spirit, soul and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23). Ever since Elohim created Adam and Hawah, a living soul comes into existance when a physical body is formed in the womb and joined to its spirit which existed from the beginning (Jeremiah 1:5). At the first death, the body returns to dust (Genesis 3:19), the spirit returns to Elohim (Luke 23:46, Acts 7:59), and the soul falls asleep (Deuteronomy 31:16, 2 Samuel 7:12, 1 Kings 1:21, 2:10, 11:21, 11:43, 14:20, 14:31, 15:8, 15:24, 16:6, 16:28, 22:40, 22:50, 2 Kings 8:24, 10:35, 13:9, 13:13, 14:16, 14:22, 14:29, 15:7, 15:22, 15:38, 16:20, 20:21, 21:18, 24:6, 2 Chronicles 9:31, 12:16, 14:1, 16:13, 21:1, 26:2, 26:23, 27:9, 28:27, 32:33, 33:20, Job 7:21, Matthew 27:51-53, 1 Corinthians 11:30, 15:6, 15:18, 15:20, 1 Thessalonians 4:13, 4:15, 2 Peter 3:3-4).

The Scriptures teach that while the body turns to dust at the first death, the spirit returns to Elohim and the soul rests. A person's soul does not go to heaven or hell at death, but rests, waiting to be re-united with a spiritual body that will either inherit immortality in the Age of Life, or the Second Death in the Lake of Fire in The World to Come. Before he died, Daniel was told that he would rest, and then arise to receive his inheritance at the end of days (Daniel 12:13), referring to the 2,191,466 days which comprise the 6000 years of the Present Age.

The Age of Life begins at the start of Jubilee Year 121 (Daniel 12:2). The souls of all the people who have died in the Present Age will awaken at either the first resurrection of the righteous, or the second resurrection of the damned. These are the only two possibilities according to the Scriptures (Daniel 12:2, John 5:28-29, Acts 24:15).

When the Messiah was nailed to a tree, He told the criminal, who was crucified beside Him, that he would be with Him in Paradise (Luke 23:39-43). The criminal wanted assurance that he would enter the Kingdom. However the Messiah, Who knows all things and Who was 1000 years ahead of the criminal's request, promised the criminal he would be with Him in Paradise which will begin on Day 17 / Month 2 in 3022 C.E., exactly 1,091,394 days in the future from the day the Messiah died on Passover in 34 C.E.

יהושע alluded to Paradise when He said the things concerning Him have and end (Luke 22:37). The end of the Messiah's ministry is Paradise which will begin on Day 17 / Month 2 in Year 1 of Jubilee Cycle 141 after He judges the wicked in the Great White Throne Judgment. The criminal, who was schooled in Pharisaical thinking, believed there would be a resurrection of the righteous in the Age of Life at the "last day" or "Seventh Millennial Day" which begins after the first 6000 years of history in the Sabbath of Millennia.

The Messiah affirmed to the criminal that he would rise in the resurrection in the Age of Life, but He then went 1000 years beyond that and told the criminal he would be with Him in Paradise. In order for the criminal to be with יהושע in Paradise in 3022 C.E., יהושע will have to remember him when He comes into His Millennial Kingdom in 2022 C.E. This is because the resurrection of the righteous occurs at the beginning of the Millennial Kingdom (Revelation 20:4-6).

In 28 C.E., the Messiah said that no one other than Himself had ascended to heaven (John 3:13). When Paul said that to be absent from the body was to be present with יהוה - he was speaking of a man's spirit (2 Corinthians 5:8). Paul believed that the spirit could be in or out of the body (2 Corinthians 12:1-4). He told the Colossians that while he was absent from them in the body, he was with them in spirit (Colossians 2:5).

Throughout the Age of Desolation and the Age of Instruction, a mystery was hidden that was revealed during the Age of the Messiah. More than 4000 years after the disruption of the world and the seven day creation sequence, Paul understood a mystery hidden since the time of the ages began (Romans 16:25-27). The revealed mystery was that Gentiles, who turned away from their idolatry, could be joined to the commonwealth of Israel through יהושע the Messiah (Ephesians 3:1-7). They would no longer be regarded as strangers and foreigners, but as fellow citizens of the household of Elohim (Ephesians 2:19). The restoration of the commonwealth of Israel will be complete at the time of the Age of Life or the Millennial Kingdom begins.

At the resurrection of the righteous, a justified person's soul will be permanently joined to a new spiritual body (1 Corinthians 15:42-54). The Messiah Himself taught that those who believe in Him and who are living in their mortal physical bodies at the time when He returns will never die (John 11:23-26). Paul longed to be clothed with his spiritual body and to be absent from his physical body (2 Corinthians 5:1-8). יהושע the Messiah, who is the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep (1 Corinthians 15:20-23), was in His spiritual body after His resurrection (Luke 24:36-43).

The last year in the Age of the Messiah is known as the Day of יהוה (Isaiah 34:8, 61:1-2, 63:4). In this year, Elohim's vengeance will burn as an oven and the wicked will be judged by fire and will be ashes under the feet of the righteous (Malachi 4:1-3). The elements will melt with fervent heat (2 Peter 3:10-13). Paul prophesied that יהושע Messiah will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of Elohim, and that the righteous dead in Messiah will rise first (1 Thessalonians 4:15-18) as they shall awake at the last trump (1 Corinthians 15:50-55). The Age of the Messiah ends as the Age of Life begins.

The Creation Calendar's epoch (reference date) for the beginning of the Age of Life or the Future Age or the Millennial Kingdom is sunset in Jerusalem beginning Yom Ham-i-shi (the fifth day of the week) on Day 17 / Month 2 / Year 6001. This will be at the time of sunset in Jerusalem on Wednesday, May 18, 2022 C.E. on the Gregorian Calendar. At this time the Marriage of the Lamb begins according to Revelation 19:6-9.

In John 2:1-11, יהושע the Messiah alluded to the idea that the Marriage of the Lamb will occur after six millennial days are filled to the brim. It was at Cana that the Messiah turned water into wine at a marriage after six waterpots were filled to the brim. This first public miracle of יהושע the Messiah is deeply prophetic, as it convinced the disciples that יהושע was the Messiah who would rule in the Millennial Kingdom at the end of 6000 years of mankind's history. The first six millennial days of mankind's history are further grouped into three ages: the Age of Desolation, the Age of Instruction and the Age of the Messiah.

The End of the Age

These three ages are compared to three measures of meal by יהושע the Messiah. The Messiah taught in Matthew 13:33 and Luke 13:20-21 that during these three ages, which form the whole of the Present Age since the disruption of the world, the kingdom of Elohim on earth has been leavened with spiritual, moral and political corruption. However, the Messiah will cleanse the earth from sin before the Age of Life begins according to Deuteronomy 32:22-29, Malachi 4:1-6 and Matthew 3:8-12.

In Matthew 28:18-20, the Messiah said He would be with those who believe and obey Him even to the end of the Age of the Messiah. Paul said in Ephesians 1:7-10 that in the fullness of time, Elohim will gather all things together under the Messiah in the Age of Life. The Age of Life begins with the Marriage of the Lamb in the seventh millennial day as alluded to in Isaiah 30:26. The Marriage of the Lamb at the beginning of the Age of Life will fulfill the prophecy in Daniel 9:24. At this time the Messiah will reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet according to 1 Corinthians 15:25. The Age of Life is often translated in Scripture as eternal life and is commonly known as the Millennial Kingdom.

The Age of Life or Chayei Olam חיי עולם mentioned in Daniel 12:2 is the seventh millennium of history in which the resurrected righteous are destined to live. In Psalms 133, יהוה commanded the Age of Life as a blessing. It is referred to in the Messianic Scriptures as Zōē Aiōnios ζωη αιωνιος and translated eternal life. In John 6:66-68, Peter said that the Messiah had the words of the Age of Life. In Revelation 20:1-6, John said the Messiah will reign for 1000 years which is why it is called the Millennial Kingdom.

In His last year on earth, יהושע the Messiah said the day the Son of Man would be revealed would be like the day Noah entered the ark (Luke 17:26-30). Noah entered the ark on Day 17 / Month 2 (Genesis 7:11-14).

Then on Day 11 /Month 1 in 34 C.E. on the Mount of Olives, three days before the crucifixion, Peter, James and John asked יהושע the Messiah three questions (Matthew 24:3). In the third question, the disciples wanted to know when the end of the Age of Messiah would come. The Messiah said that the end of the Age of Messiah would be as in the days of Noah, and again said it would be like the day Noah entered the ark (Matthew 24:36-39). These prophecies would be literally fulfilled if יהושע came on Day 17 /Month 2.

יהושע the Messiah further linked the judgment at the end of the Age of Messiah with the judgment in Noah's time when He spoke of standing outside and knocking at the door after the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door (Luke 13:24-30). יהושע also taught that the Age of Messiah wil come in the time of wheat harvest (Matthew 13:24-30, Matthew 13:36-43, and Mark 4:26-29), which is interesting considering that Day 17 / Month 2 is right in the midst of the wheat harvest.

The end of the Age of Life initiates The World to Come - the Eternal State of the universe. The World to Come is also known as Olam Haba or the Eternal State or Paradise and it occurs after the Millennial Kingdom. יהושע the Messiah referred to Paradise once in Luke 23:42-43. Paul mentions Paradise once in 2 Corinthians 12:1-4, and John mentions Paradise once in Revelation 2:7.

Paradise begins after the resurrection of damnation occurs on Day 17 / Month 2 / Year 7001 at the start of Jubilee Cycle 141. After the damned are resurrected and given spiritual bodies, they will come against Jerusalem and be swiftly judged by the presence of Elohim who sits on a Great White Throne (Revelation 20:11). At this time, Satan, Death, Hades and whoever is not found in the Book of Life will be cast into the Lake of Fire which is the Second Death.

The Creation Calendar's epoch for the beginning of The World to Come is sunset in Jerusalem beginning Sha-bat (the seventh day of the week) on Day 17 / Month 2 / Year 7001 in 3022 C.E. This will be at the time of sunset in Jerusalem on Friday, May 10, 3022 C.E. on the Gregorian Calendar. At this moment the damned are resurrected according to Daniel 12:2, John 5:28-29, Acts 24:15 and Revelation 20:5. At the resurrection of damnation, a damned person's spirit will be joined with a new body. The Messiah said to fear Him who could throw both soul and body into the Lake of Fire (Matthew 10:28). The damned will be cast into the Lake of Fire at the Second Death (Revelation 21:8).

According to Revelation 20:1-2, Satan is bound for 1000 years. According to Revelation 20:7-9, Satan and the resurrected damned will come against Jerusalem when fire will devour them at the end of the Millennial Kingdom. According to Revelation 20:10-15, a Great White Throne will descend from heaven and all those whose names are not found in the Book of Life will be cast into the Lake of Fire which is the Second Death. According to 1 Corinthians 15:24-28, the Messiah will then deliver the kingdom to Elohim the Father so that Elohim may be in every way supreme. According to Revelation 21:2, the universe will be perfected at this time when New Jerusalem descends from heaven. The nations that are saved will walk in the light of New Jerusalem. These are those who do the commandments of Elohim as written in Revelation 22:14.

The Immortality of the Righteous

The Scriptures make it clear in Revelation 2:11 that those who overcome in the Present Age and inherit the Age of Life will not be hurt by the Second Death. According to Revelation 20:6, the resurrected righteous who inherit the Age of Life will also not be hurt by the Second Death. For יהושע the Messiah truly said that if anyone kept His sayings they would never experience death in this age - the Age of Life (John 8:51). The immortality of any child of Elohim who attains to the Age of Life is secure and they continue living for eternity in The World to Come.

The renewed heavens and renewed earth in The World to Come are different than the renewed heavens and renewed earth in the Age of Life as can be adduced from Psalms 102:24-28, Ezekiel 47:1-12 and Revelation 21:1. The psalmist appears to describe two different renewals of the heavens and the earth; one in the Age of Life and one in The World to Come (Psalms 102:24-28).

John saw in his vision of The World to Come that there was no more sea (Revelation 21:1). The sea is a metaphor for chaos, and after the Great White Throne Judgment, there will be no chaos in the universe. Suspended above the new earth in The World to Come will be New Jerusalem - a city with walls of transparent gold. The World to Come represents the perfection of the universe and the Eternal State, when all things will be made new (Revelation 21:5).

The 7000 Year Plan of Elohim takes 2,556,700 days to complete. The completion of these days will fulfill the saying of יהושע the Messiah in Luke 22:37, "The things concerning Me have an end."
