Does God Have a 7,000-Year Master Plan?
Bible Questions & AnswersGod's 7,000-year master plan for mankind is pictured by the seven-day week. With the Lord, one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day, as the apostle Peter understood. Each day of the week represents 1,000 years of human existence. The first six days symbolize 6,000 years in which man has been allowed to govern himself and work out his own ideas and plans. The seventh day represents 1,000 years of peace under the rule of Jesus Christ, a period commonly called the Millennium, which will occur after Christ's intervention in world affairs. Human civilization has existed for nearly 6,000 years, indicating that man's week is nearly over, and God's great Millennial rest will soon be here.
