Since Sinai, Jewish tradition has taught that God gave man a six-day workweek corresponding to the six days of Creation. After the six days, man and Creation enter into the seventh day corresponding to God’s seventh day of rest—the Sabbath—the 1,000-year Millennial Reign. Psalm 90:4 and 2 Peter 3:8 teach us that 1,000 years of earth time is as one day with the Lord. I believe Earth is as old as true science requires, but man as we know him was created almost 6,000 years ago. In other words, to make a very long story short, we are almost at the end of the six-day workweek. We will soon cross over into the seventh day. How can we tell? By watching the signs of the times. By considering current news events in the light of Bible prophecy. What About the Future? Let me quote from introductory remarks to the book of Revelation made by F.W. Grant in The Numerical Bible in 1902: "The future before the world is largely…made up of judgment, although it is true that the judgment is for a blessing which lies beyond it, and which is as bright as God can make it…God’s moral ways…the end will perfectly bring…out…. The future more than fulfils every promise of the past, and of necessity, therefore, all prophecy runs on to the complete fulfillment, intermediate fulfillments in the meanwhile showing that the first purpose abides, which the great end alone reveals in its perfection." How should we address these days progressing toward a “future as bright as God can make it”? “Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times” (Isaiah 33:6, NKJV). We are to know the Word of the Lord for our individual lives, and concerning these last days as revealed by the prophets. “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee” (Isaiah 26:3). These are days of glorious guidance and revelation for those who would practice the presence of God by keeping their minds on the Lord and His Word. Those of us in the third group—the Church—look to experience the marvel of being changed from glory to glory into the very image of the Lord (2 Corinthians 3:18). We, the Body of Christ, should now aim to abide in His presence, walk in His Spirit, partake of His benefits and be His partners in blessing the world. Israel will pass through the final phases of God’s dealings unto complete redemption and restoration. Sheep nations will pass into the kingdoms prepared for them. Creation awaits deliverance and restoration. Yehiya Tov—It Will Be Good! I have spent hours upon hours with people of Israel—common folks, Torah scholars, government officials and rabbis—and I know for a fact that the Church and Israel are in agreement that the Messiah’s coming is at hand. A phrase that I have learned from them is one they say, even in dire circumstances, “Yehiya Tov!” It will be good!
