Seven Clocks from God
God specially created seven clocks. The foundation for these clocks is the number seven. None of the seven clocks is based on the rotation of the earth, or the sun or the moon. Each clock is based on God’s word alone. Notice the progression of time in the seven clocks. The next two charts use the following formula: Unit of Time x Pattern = Total.
Clock | Pattern | Unit of Time | Total | What is the significance? | Began |
1 | 7 | days | 7 days | Rest on 7th day - Sabbath | Creation |
2 | 7 x 7 | days | 49 days | +1 Pentecost 50th day | Canaan |
3 | 7 | years | 7 years | Rest on 7th year - sabbath | Canaan |
4 | 7 x 7 | years | 49 years | +1 Jubilee 50th year | Canaan |
5 | 7 | 70 years | 490 years | First coming of Christ | Once |
6 | 7 x 7 | 70 years | 3,430 years | +1 Second coming of Christ | Once |
7 | 7 | 1,000 years | 7,000 years | Third coming of Christ Rest on 7th 1,000 years-sabbath End of 7th - New earth created |
Once |
This chart of seven clocks started at the creation of our world. It includes seven progressively larger clocks that God designed, and it ends with the re-creation of our world.
The seventh clock of 1,000 years has particular significance. The seventh period of 1,000 years is for rest. At the end of 7,000 years God will create a new heaven and a new earth. Sin will be totally and permanently eradicated from the entire universe.
