Moses ben Maimonides (RaMBaM) (AD 1135 or 1138 - December 12, 1204) -

"... 16. We have already stated that the calculations that we explain in these laws are intended solely to determine the visibility of the [new] moon. Therefore, we have established the starting point from which we will always begin these calculations: the eve of Thursday,19 the third of Nisan, of the present year, the seventeenth year of the 260th [nineteen-year] cycle - i.e., the year 4938 since creation20 - which is the year 1489 with regard to contracts,21 and 1109 years after the destruction of the Second Temple. This is the year that will be referred to as the starting point in these calculations. ...

טזכבר אמרנו שאלו הדרכים שאנו מבארים בהלכות אלו אינן אלא לחשבון ראיית הירח בלבד. לפיכך עשינו העיקר שממנו מתחילין לעולם לחשבון זה מתחילת ליל חמישי שיומו יום שלישי לחדש ניסן משנה זו שהיא שנת י"ז ממחזור ר"ס. שהיא שנת תתקל"ח וארבעת אלפים ליצירה. שהיא שנת תפ"ט ואלף לשטרות. שהיא שנת ק"ט ואלף לחרבן בית שני. וזו היא שאנו קוראים אותה שנת העיקר בחשבון זה: ...

... (Notation) 20.

This year corresponds to 1178 C.E. There are several other dates cited within the Mishneh Torah with regard to the composition of that text. ..." - Moses ben Maimonides (RaMBaM), the Mishneh Torah, Sefer Zemanim, Kiddush HaChodesh - Chapter 11, translated by Eliyahu Touger; webpage - https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/947929/jewish/Kiddush-HaChodesh-Chapter-Eleven.htm

"... Also, [the Geonim] composed [texts recording] the decisions of Torah law regarding what is permitted and what is forbidden, when one is liable and when one is free of liability, with regard to subjects that were necessary at the time, so that they would be accessible to the grasp of a person who could not comprehend the depths of the Talmud.34 This is the work of God, which was performed by all the Geonim of Israel from the completion of the Talmud until the present date, 1108 years after the destruction of the Temple, 4937 years after the creation of the world.35

ועוד חיברו הלכות פסוקות בענין איסור והיתר וחיוב ופטור בדברים שהשעה צריכה להם כדי שיהיו קרובים למדע מי שאינו יכול לירד לעומקה של גמרא. וזו היא מלאכת ה' שעשו בה כל גאוני ישראל מיום שחוברה הגמרא ועד זמן זה שהיא שנה שמינית אחר מאה ואלף לחרבן הבית, והיא שנת ארבעת אלפים ותשע מאות ושלשים ושבע לבריאת עולם: ...

... 22.

Thus, according to the Rambam, the approximate date of the composition of the

Jerusalem Talmud was the year 4025 (365 C.E.). ...

... 25.

Thus, according to the Rambam, the approximate date of the composition of the Babylonian Talmud was 4125 (465 C.E.). ...

... 35.

This corresponds to the year 1177 C.E. Apparently, the Rambam composed the Mishneh Torah over a number of years, constantly revising his work. Thus, in Hilchot Kiddush HaChodesh 11:16, he mentions the date of the composition of the text as 4938, one year later, and in Hilchot Shemitot V'Yovalot, he mentions the date 4936, one year earlier. ..." - Moses ben Maimonides (RaMBaM), the Mishneh Torah, translated by Eliyahu Touger; webpage - https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/901656/jewish/Introduction-to-Mishneh-Torah.htm

"... 4

It follows that the year in which the [Second] Temple was destroyed, [more precisely, the year] beginning from Tishrei that was approximately two months after the destruction14 - for the reckoning of Sabbatical and Jubilee years begins in Tishrei - was the year following the Sabbatical year. It was the fifteenth year of the ninth Jubilee cycle.15

According to this reckoning, this year which is the 1107 year after the destruction, which is the 1487th year according to the reckoning of legal documents,16 which is 4936th year after the creation,17 is a Sabbatical year and it is the 21st year of the Jubilee cycle.18 ...

דנמצאת למד שהשנה שחרב בה הבית באחרונה שתחלתה מתשרי שאחר החרבן כשני חדשים שהרי מתשרי הוא המנין לשמיטים וליובלות אותה השנה מוצאי שביעית היתה ושנת ט"ו מן היובל התשיעי היתה ולפי חשבון זה שנה זו שהיא שנת אלף ומאה ושבע לחרבן שהיא שנת שמנים ושבעה ואלף וארבע מאות למנין שטרות שהיא שנת שש ושלשים ותשע מאות וארבעת אלפים ליצירה היא שנת שמיטה והיא שנת אחת ועשרים מן היובל: ...

... 17.

This corresponds to 1176 C.E. This date is interesting in another context, for it gives us some insight into the Rambam's writing and editing of the Mishneh Torah. In his Introduction to the Mishneh Torah, the Rambam mentions the date of the composition of the work as 4937, and in Hilchot Kiddush HaChodesh 11:16, he speaks of the date 4938. Thus it is apparent that he worked on the text for several years, wrote the Introduction in 4937, and then edited and added to the work in 4938.

18.

I.e., that date is 1121 years after the last Jubilee observed before the destruction of the Second Temple. Thus if that figure is divided by fifty, 21 years are left over. Hence, it is a Sabbatical year. ..." - Moses ben Maimonides (RaMBaM), the Mishneh Torah, Sefer Zeraim, Shemita - Chapter 10, translated by Eliyahu Touger; webpage - https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/1007174/jewish/Shemita-Chapter-10.htm

Thomas Aquinas (1225 – 7 March 1274) -
 
[He begins by rebutting and refuting Augustine] "...by the "evening" and the "morning" ... But, according to Basil (Hom. ii in Hexaem.), the entire period takes its name, as is customary, from its more important part, the day. And instance of this is found in the words of Jacob, "The days of my pilgrimage," where night is not mentioned at all. But the evening and the morning are mentioned as being the ends of the day, since day begins with morning and ends with evening, or because evening denotes the beginning of night, and morning the beginning of day. It seems fitting, also, that where the first distinction of creatures is described, divisions of time should be denoted only by what marks their beginning. And the reason for mentioning the evening first is that as the evening ends the day, which begins with the light, the termination of the light at evening precedes the termination of the darkness, which ends with the morning. But Chrysostom's explanation is that thereby it is intended to show that the natural day does not end with the evening, but with the morning (Hom. v in Gen.). ...

Reply to Objection 7. The words "one day" are used when day is first instituted, to denote that
one day is made up of twenty-four hours. Hence, by mentioning "one," the measure of a natural day is fixed. Another reason may be to signify that a day is completed by the return of the sun to the point from which it commenced its course. And yet another, because at the completion of a week of seven days, the first day returns..." - Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, Question 74, Article 3, Reply to Objection 6 and 7 [The Summa Theologica of St. Thomas Aquinas

"I answer that, ...Now the precepts of the decalogue are, so to speak, first and common principles of the Law, and consequently the third precept of the decalogue describes the exterior worship of God as the sign of a universal boon that concerns all. This universal boon was the work of the Creation of the world, from which work God is stated to have rested on the seventh day: and sign of this we are commanded to keep holy seventh day--that is, to set it aside as a day to be given to God. Hence after the precept about the hallowing of the Sabbath the reason for it is given: "For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth . . . and rested on the seventh day." ..."

"Article 3. Whether the fire whereby the world will be cleansed will be of the same species with elemental fire? ... it is declared that the fire of the judgment will rise as high as the waters of the deluge; ... following Augustine, say that "just as the deluge resulted from an outpouring of the waters of the world, so the fashion of this world will perish by a burning of worldly flames" (De Civ. Dei. xx, 16). ... by the Divine power ... the fire that will burn the surface of this world will result. ..."

"...Further, a gloss on 2 Thessalonians 1:8, "In a flame of fire giving vengeance," says: "There will be
in the world a fire that shall precede Him, and shall rise in the air to the same height as did the waters of the deluge." But the waters of the deluge did not rise to the height of the higher heavens but only 15 cubits higher than the mountain summits (Genesis 7:20). Therefore the higher heavens will not be cleansed by that fire. ..."

"...Reply to Objection 2. Peter explains himself to which heavens he refers. For before the words quoted, he had said (2 Peter 3:5-7): "The heavens . . . first, and the earth . . . through water . . . perished . . . which . . . now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire unto the day of judgment." Therefore
the heavens to be cleansed are those which before were cleansed by the waters of the deluge, namely the aerial heavens. ..."

"...Further,
this final cleansing that will be effected by fire will correspond to the first cleansing which was effected by water...."

"...the
authority of Scripture, because it is written (2 Peter 3:7) that those heavens are "kept in store unto fire," which were cleansed by water; and Augustine says (De Civ. Dei xx, 18) that "the same world which perished in the deluge is reserved unto fire."..." [The Summa Theologica of St. Thomas Aquinas

Babylonian Talmud (1342); Sanhedrin 97A (Rabbi Katina) -
 
"The Talmud comments:
 
R. Katina said, “Six thousand years the world will exist and one [thousand, the seventh], it shall be desolate (haruv), as it is written, ‘And the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day’ (Isa. 2:11)... R. Katina also taught, “Just as the seventh year is the Shmita year, so too does the world have one thousand years out of seven that are fallow (mushmat), as it is written, ‘And the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day’ (Isa. 2:11); and further it is written, A psalm and song for the Shabbat day’ (Ps. 92:1) – meaning the day that is altogether Shabbat – and also it is said, ‘For one thousand years in Your [God's] eyes are but a day that has passed.’ (Ps.90:4) (Sanhedrin 97a).”" - https://www.sefaria.org/Sanhedrin.97a

Martin Luther (10 November 1483 – 18 February 1546) -
 
"... It was not an entirely novel enterprise. Luther modified Melanchthon's reworking of Carion's Chronicon (the original had been published in German in 1532 and translated into Latin in 1537) and endorsed the Jewish calculation of the history of the world spanning 6,000 years, based on the week of creation:
 
Six thousand years stands the world.
Two thousand empty.
Two thousand Law.
Two thousand Messiah.
These are the six days of the week in the sight of God. The seventh day is the eternal Sabbath. (WA53.22,2-7)
 
Nevertheless, the Reckoning goes its own way at various points, as what is essential an annotated timeline unfolds. Luther divided the millennia somewhat idiosyncratically and even then sat quite loose on these calculations. However, this work did confirm him in his conviction that the Last Day was imminent. By his calculations the earth was 5,500 years old in 1540 and on a parallel with the shortened three days between the crucifixion and the resurrection, [page to page] Luther did not expect the sixth millennium to be completed (WA53.171). So once again Luther's engagement with history serves his theological concerns: there is an urgency to the gospel work he is engaged in since it will soon be followed by the return of Christ and the day of judgement. ..." - The Oxford Handbook of Martin Luther's Theology, edited by: Robert Kolb, Irene Dingel, L'Ubomir Batka; April 24, 2014; Section V.

Hugh Latimer (c. 1487 – 16 October 1555) -

"... The Day of Judgment. A Sermon, Preached on the Second Sunday in Advent, 1552. Luke xxi. [page 253,261] ...

... [page 261] Therefore no doubt these are warnings wherewith the Almighty God warn us to make ready against that horrible and fearful day, which day no doubt is not far off. For the world was ordained of God to endure, as Scripture and all learned men agree, six thousand years: now of this number are gone five thousand five hundred and fifty-two, so that there is left only four hundred and fifty lacking two; and this is but a little time, and yet this time shall be shortened as Scripture plainly witnesseth, for the elect's sake. ..." - British Reformers, Select Sermons and Letters, of Dr. Hugh Latimer, Bishop of Worcester and Martyr, 1555.

Johannes Carion (22 March 1499 – 2 February 1537) & Philip Melanchthon (16 February 1497 – 19 April 1560) -

"... Tradition Domus Eliae.

Sex Millia annorum mundus, & deinde conflagratio.

Duo Millia inane.

Duo Millia Lex.

Duo millia dies Messiae. Et propter peccata nostra, quae multa & magna sunt, deerunt anni, qui deerunt [page 29-30] Hoc modo Elias de duratione generis humani vaticinatus est, & praecipuas mutationes distinxit. Duos primos millenarios nominat INANE, quod simplicissime sic interpretor, nondum homines procul dissitas regiones occupasse, ante conditam Baby Ionem. Alii dicunt, nominari Inane, quia nondum certa politia Ecclesiae costituta suit, & nondum segregate fuit Ecclesiae a caeteris gentibus. Nondum etiam erant Imperia, qualia postea in Monarchiis fuerunt. Sed quecunquae causa est, quare sic dixerit Elias, hoc no dubium est, primam aetatum fuisse florentissimam, quia natura hominum minus languida fuit, quod ostendit longaeuitas. Et fuit excellens decus, quod sapientissimi Senes, pleni divinae lucis, simul vixerunt, & de Deo decreatione, de edita promissione testes fuerunt, & multi artes inuenerunt & illustrarunt.

Secundum tempus a Circumcisione numeratur, usquae ad natum Messiam [page 30-31] ex Virgine, quod non multo minuus duobos millenariis continet.

Jean Calvin (10 July 1509 – 27 May 1564) -
 
"... Institutes of the Christian Religion; Chapter XIV. The True God clearly distinguished in the Scripture from all ficticious ones by the Creation of the World. ...
 
... Therefore he hath been pleased to give us a history of the creation, on which the faith of the Church might rest, without seeking after any other God, than him whom Moses has represented as the former and builder of the world. The first thing specified in this history is the time, that by a continued series of years the faithful might arrive at the first original of the human race, and of all things. This knowledge is eminently useful, not only to contradict the monstrous fables formerly received in Egypt and other countries, but also to give us clearer views of the eternity of God, and to fill us with greater admiration of it. Nor ought we to be moved with that profane sneer, that it is marvellous that God did not form the design of creating heaven and earth at an earlier period, but suffered an immeasureable duration to pass away unemployed, since he could have made them many thousands of ages before: whereas the continuance of the world now advancing to its last end has not yet reached six thousand years. ... [page 170,171]
 
... [page 171] in the course of six thousand years ..." - The Institutes of the Christian Religion., by John Calvin.
