Isaiah 65:25
"The wolf and the lamb shall graze together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall
be the serpent's food. They shall do no evil or harm in all My holy mountain," says Yahweh.

The rule of Christ is described as “the millennial kingdom,” for it shall last for a thousand years.

Revelation 20:6
Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has
no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.

Peter has told us that one day with God is as a thousand years. The seventh day is holy in the sight
of God. It is a day of rest. This seventh day corresponds to the millennial rule of Yahshua. It comes
after six days of humanity’s existence on the earth. Six thousand years from the creation of Adam the
Lord must return and establish His rule upon the earth. That hour is near at hand, for Yahshua
appeared the first time, born of a virgin, 4,000 years after Adam was created. It has now been 2,000
years since Yahshua ascended to the Father. We stand at the end of 6,000 years of human history. The
th
th
6 day of mankind is coming to a close, and the 7 day is about to begin.
It is an important matter in the sight of God for His people to recognize the times in which they live.
Yahshua chided the Jews for failing to recognize the time of their visitation by the Son of God.

Matthew 16:2-4
He answered and said to them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is
red.’ And in the morning, ‘There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Do you
know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times?”

Luke 19:41-44
And when He approached, He saw the city and wept over it, saying, “If you had known in this day,
even you, the things which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes. For the
days shall come upon you when your enemies will throw up a bank before you, and surround you, and
hem you in on every side, and will level you to the ground and your children within you, and they will
not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”

Brothers and sisters, if we would live in readiness as wise men and women, knowing that the return
of the Lord is near at hand, we must look to that heavenly calendar that Yahweh set before us to give
us knowledge of His appointed times. Providing a detailed discussion on the heavenly signs being
observed at this hour is beyond the scope of this book. The intent of this chapter is to declare that the
heavenly luminaries were established by Yahweh for this purpose. Wise men will continue to look
to the heavens to discern the days in which they live and the acts of God that must be accomplished
during their lives.
