God And His Word - A Question And Answer Approach To Understanding The Bible

6. HOSEA MADE AN UNUSUAL PROPHECY. Hosea 6:2. “After two days” refers to the 2,000 years of Gospel Age, while "third day" refers to the seventh day or Millennium. The First Resurrection occurs at the end of the 2,000 year Gospel Age. 7. A SIGNIFICANT THOUGHT ABOUT GATHERING MANNA . Exodus 16:11-35. "Manna" was the bread that God supplied Israel for their daily food ration; however, on the SIXTH DAY they were to gather a DOUBLE PORTION to carry them through the Sabbath. This is a prophetic picture of God's special outpouring and work in our hearts in the last of the Gospel Age to carry us on into the Millennium. 8. EZEKIEL'S MEASUREMENTS HAVE PROPHETIC IMPORT. Ezekiel 47:1-12. The four 1,000 cubital measurements of the Angel of the Lord reach from Abraham (2000 B.C.) to the Second Coming of Christ (2000 A.D.); the measurements cover four prophetic days in God's plan. 9. THE ARK OF THE COVENANT WAS REMOVED FROM THE PEOPLE. Joshua 3:4. The 2,000 cubits between the Ark and the people is a prophetic measurement of the 2,000 years of the Gospel Age that separates Israel under the Law from the full Glory of God during the Millennium. 10. THE MEASUREMENTS OF THE TABERNACLE ARE PROPHETIC. Outer Court Curtain: 300 x 5 = 1500 sq. cu.; 1500 years of Law. Holy Place: 10 x 10 x 20 = 2000 cu. cubits; 2000 years of the Gospel. Most Holy: 10 x 10 x 10 = 1000 cu. cubits; 1000 years of Millennium. 11. THE BRASEN SEA OF SOLOMON'S TEMPLE IS A GRAPHIC PICTURE. I Kings 7:26; 2 Chronicles 4:5. This great brass basin rested on the backs of twelve oxen. Holding 2,000 baths in regular use and 3,000 baths when brim full, this "sea" is a type of the Gospel Age of 2,000. 12. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A JUBILEE! Leviticus 25 and 27. The Jubilee = 50 years; 120 Jubilees = 6,000 years. Each Dispensation of time measures 40 Jubilees or 2,000 years. Three Dispensations of 40 Jubilees = 120 Jubilees. Jesus will come in the 120 th Jubilee.
