I would like other's opinions on something that I have been looking into.

Most young Earth believing Christians believe the Earth is just less than 6000 years old and base this belief on the dates listed in the Old Testament and add that to the almost 2000 years since Christ's death. Some Christians go further still and believe Jesus died on the 4000th year which was also the 80th jubilee and because Jesus will reign for 1000 years when He returns, they believe that Jesus will return on the 6000th year, thus fulfilling a 7000 year plan that God is working to. This plan is believed not only by some Christians but also some Jews too. Here are just two examples of this belief that can be found on the internet:

http://www.biblebaptistpublications.org/gods7000yearplan.html

http://www.hebroots.org/hebrootsarchive/9807/980715_d.html

The reason I am taking this seriously is because of finding so many others who are now coming to a similar conclusion, such as this example that can also be found on the internet and as said they are not alone:

https://guidetothebible.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/guidechronologylatest1.pdf

The question I'm asking is is this just another YK2000 false prophesy that was based on Christ’s birth or is it really God's plan? What do you think? Any further opinions and information would be helpful.

Thank you.

The young earth idea is partly true

The earth as it stands today is about 6000 years old .... and so is mankind

However, the earth and the rest of creation is ageless

I don't think it is false. It was the belief of some of the oldest Jewish writings: God created the universe in 6 days, and rested on the 7th, so man would rule the earth for the first 6000 years and then God would rule the earth for the 7th thousand years.

I believe that Adam's 6000 year lease (the book with the 7 seals)  runs out at the 7th trumpet. Then the Kingdom of earth is transferred back to Jesus Christ, and Satan is cast down. Then after God cleans up with the battle of Armageddon,  the sheep and goat judgment and the parable of the tares, Jesus rules for the next thousand years.

Therefore I wished I knew how close we are to the year 6000 since Adam was given the lease.

Science (Knowledge) Does Not Come From The Mantras Of Scientism

“Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. Exodus 20:8-11 (New International Version)

But From God's Logbook Of His Acts Of Creation

Then God said, “Let lights appear in the sky to separate the day from the night. Let them be signs to mark the seasons, days, and years. Let these lights in the sky shine down on the earth.” And that is what happened. God made two great lights—the larger one to govern the day, and the smaller one to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set these lights in the sky to light the earth, to govern the day and night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.

And evening passed and morning came, marking the fourth day. Genesis 1:14-19 (New Living Translation)

And This Same Cosmos Will End

And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison and will come out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. And they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire came down from heaven and consumed them, and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. Revelation 20:7-11 (English Standard Version

Abruptly

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. Revelation 21:1-2 (Berean Study Bible)

~

Be Blessed Beloved Of The KING

The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them. Numbers 6:24-27 (King James Bible)

Love, Your Brother Joe

~

Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. Psalms 119:160 (King James Bible)

The Bible contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers. Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable.

Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to cheer you.

It is the traveler’s map, the pilgrim’s staff, the pilot’s compass, the soldier’s sword and the Christian’s charter. Here too, Heaven is opened and the gates of Hell disclosed.

Christ is its grand subject, our good its design, and the glory of God its end. It should fill the memory, rule the heart and guide the feet. Read it slowly, frequently and prayerfully.  It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a river of pleasure.

It is given you in life, will be opened at the judgment, and be remembered forever. It involves the highest responsibility, rewards the greatest labor, and will condemn all who trifle with its sacred contents.

From The Inside Of My Gideon New Testament

Rather than posting lengthy homilies; here is the real facts sourced from 47 Bible verses:

7000 years from the Creation to the Completion of Mankind:

 

Genesis 1:27 Adam was created in 3970.5 BCE  [subtracted back from 586 BCE]

Gen 5:3 Seth +130, Gen 5:6 Enoch +105, Gen 5:9 Kenan +90, Gen 5:12 Mahalalel +70, Gen 5:15 Jared +65, Gen 5:18 Enoch +162, Gen 5:21 Methuselah +65, Gen 5:25 Lamech +187, Gen 5:28 Noah+182, Gen 6:7 The Flood came when Noah was +600, Gen 11:10

Our year 2314.5 BCE

 Arpachshad +2 - born to Shem after the flood. Gen 11:12 Selah +35, Gen 11:14 Heber +30, Gen 11:16 Peleg +34, Gen 11:18  Reu +30, Gen 11:20 Serug +32, Gen 11:22 Nahor +30 , Gen 11:24 Terah +29, Gen 11:26 Abram +70, Abram was +52 when God called him and they left Ur. Our year 1970.5 BCE   He lived in Haran for 23 years, then went to Canaan at age 75. Genesis 12:4                              Total years so far = 2000

 

Gen 17:1, Abraham was 99 when the Covenant was made with God. +47 Genesis 17:1-8

Galatians 3:17 Paul states that the Law was given +430 after the Covenant. Total years elapsed until the Exodus – 2477, in our year 1493.5 BCE. [Many ancient records say Comet Typhon passed close the earth at that time. It was the cause of many of the disasters in Egypt.]

1 Kings 6:1 The Temple construction starts, in the 4th year of King Solomon +480 since the Torah was given at the Exodus.. 1 Kings 11:42 Solomon 40 minus 4 = +36, 1 Kings 14:21 Rehoboam +17, 1 Kings 15:2 Abijah +3, 2 Chron 16:13 Asa +41, 1 Kings 22:42 Jehoshaphat +25, 2 Kings 8:17 Jehoram +8, 2 Kings 8:26 Ahaziah +1, 2 Kings 11:1-3 Athaliah +6, 2 Kings 12:1-3 Joash +40, 2 Kings 14:1-2 Amaziah +29, 2 Kings 15:1-2 Azariah +52, 2 Kings 15:32 Jotham +16, 2 Kings 16:1-2 Ahaz +16, 2 Kings 18:1-2 Hezekiah +29, 2 Kings 21:1 Manasseh +55, 2 Kings 21:19 Amon +2, 2 Kings 22:1-2 Josiah +31, 2 Kings 22:31 Jehoahaz +3mths, 2 Kings 23:31 Jehoiakim +11, 2 Kings 24:8 Jehoichin +3mths, 2 Kings 24:18 Zedekiah +11, who ruled until the Babylonian captivity in our year 586 BCE.

Total elapsed years to the first exile of Judah = 3386.5

586 BCE + 613.5 years + 2 comes to 29.5 CE, the date of Jesus’ baptism, the commencement of His earthly ministry.  Luke 3:1  Plus 2 to include the total number of elapsed years, as our calendar system counts years from their commencement.  

                          3386.5 + 613.5 = 4000 years.

 

January 2017 CE - 29.5 CE = 1987.5 years since the commencement of Jesus’ Ministry.

1987.5 + 4000 = 5987.5 years, is where we are now. 5987.5 + 12.5 = 6000 years

2017 CE + 12.5 = 2029.5 CE  Exactly 2000 years to the end of the present Church age.  4000 since Abraham, 6000 since Adam, next comes the 1000 year reign of Jesus.

7000 years is God’s decreed time for mankind.

Those who have been found worthy will go into eternity with God. Revelation 22:1-5

If this 7000 year plan is truly of God why aren't as many people talking about it as they did with the YK2, or the 2012 Mayan, or even Harold camping prediction, etc. what I mean is the 6000th year of the Earth according to the Bible and 2000th year from Jesus death really is approaching. Why isn't there as big a furore about it as with the other notable dates? It does seem somewhat incongruent.

Most seem to have discounted the 7000 year Plan, because they think the last 2000 started at Jesus' birth. Therefore we are 17 + years past that day. This is plainly wrong, because it wasn't until the Spirit of God came upon Jesus, like a dove, that He had the power to commence His ministry. A Ministry that continues, spiritually today, as He states in Luke 13:32 and confirmed in Hose 6:2 - 2 'days' in heaven, where He is now, being equal to nearly 2000 years. 2 Peter 3:8, Psalm 90:4

There is a move called The End of the Harvest that basically explains this theology. Has anyone seen it?

Okay, I found a video teaching regarding date setting that seemed to make sense but it was removed, however it's was basically saying that Matthew 24:36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” 

Shows that Jesus said this in the present tense and that He did not say that no one would ever know. Which is true. Also that this verse must not be taken out of context as there are other verses that allude to being able to see when His return is looking more likely as we get near to that day.  

It's also interesting that Keras who posted above agrees with the first guy's information that 2029 is the year. I don't know but that guys website has others who are agreeing with this, here is what is on his website: 

I am not the only Christian to have calculated 24th September 2029 as the date of Jesus’ return; Michael Haller, Oregano, USA, has also worked this out, here is his website:

http://www.motsog.com/fundamentals/no-man-knows-that-day-and-that-hour

And the following ten others have also worked out that 2029 is the year for varying reasons, some also point to September:
