IOW, we are still living at Gen 1:27 since God is still creating human kind in his image and likeness, even TODAY. The 6th Creative Day of God will NOT end until Jesus returns to this Planet and reigns for another thousand years. The end of the 6th Day is still in the FUTURE.
In truth, Genesis 1 is a description of a God's Plan for restauration of all things as it is written in Acts 3:v.18-24,
whose things were destroyed times ago in the garden of Eden. Other interesting thing that calls attention is the fact that Moses received this revelation from the Most High and Almighty God around 2.500 years after Adam, precisely after passed two and half days of the seven days of God's creation.
(One Day with the Lord is as a thousand years and vice-versa, as is revealed by Moses in his pray (Psa.90:v.4) and 2Peter 3:v.8.)
Psalms 90:v.12-13&16
v.12 Teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
13 Return, O Lord, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
Based on God's six days of creation and one day of rest
(a total of seven days or seven millenniums - 7000 years) plus the Scriptures that teach that one Day is with the Lord as a thousand years (Psalm 90:4; II Pet. 3:8; Heb. 4:4),
then the mankind will go through six God days of 1,000 years each (a total of 6,000 years) plus a Millennium of 1,000 years rest (now a total of 7,000 years).
In accord the Holy Scriptures, we can number our days, beginning in Genesis chap.5, so we have a table of biblical times, as follow:
Adam lived ….................................................130 yrs and begat Seth
Seth lived .......................................................105 yrs and begat Enosh;
Enosh lived ..................................................... 90 yrs and begat Kenan;
Kenan lived......................................................70 yrs and begat Mahalalel;
Mahalalel lived ................................................65 yrs and begat Jared;
Jared lived .....................................................162 yrs and begat Enoch;
Enoch lived .....................................................65 yrs and begat Methuselah;
Methuselah lived............................................187 yrs and begat Lamech;
Lamech lived .................................................182 yrs and begat Noah;
From Noah´s birth until the Flood..................600 yrs.
Total of yrs from Adam to the Flood =........ 1,656 yrs.
I am working with the Word of God. Notice that the table above is proved by the Word of God (Gen.5), it is not of human theories or human speculations. Let us study the times until our days not by human theories and speculations, but by the Word of God. See this table below:
PERIODS OF BIBLICAL TIMES ----------------------- DURATION
I - From Adam until the Flood------------------------------1,656 years (as was showed above)
II - From the Flood until Abraham-------------------------- 427 years
III - From Abraham until Exodus---------------------------. 430 years (Gal.3:v.17)
IV - From Exodus until king Saul -------------------------- 396 years
V - From Saul until the fall of Jerusalem ---------------- 508 years
VI - From the fall of Jerusalem until Jesus -------------.587 years
Thus, from Adam until the 1st coming of Jesus---- 4,004 years
From Jesus until our days (Christian Calendar) --- 2,019 years
Total from Adam until our days --------------------------6,023 years
Jesus, the Great Light (Gen.1:16) came in the fourth Day of God's week or around 4.000 years after the creation of the first Adam, the earthly Adam. From JESUS (fourth Day) until our days, have passed more two Days of the seven days creation, totalizing 6 complete Days or six milleniums, around 6.000 years, more precisely 6.023 years according Christian calendar.
We have entered in the first century of this seventh and last millennium, or seventh and last Day, that is the Great Sabbath. We are living in the first century of the seventh and last millennium, the millennium of Christ, the Lord's Day, the Millennium of Truth, the Day of Vengeance, and the Day of Judgment. And our Almighty God the Father entered in His rest, as He had planned in the beginning of His works, but He is not sleeping of course, and JESUS assumes the control or the government of the Universe.
JESUS is now sat on His Tribunal, the Judgment Seat of Christ, to Judge all nations, taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not His gospel, who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of His power.
The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever. (Rev.11:15)
Return, O Lord, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants. Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children. Amen.
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them.
Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the Devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Matt. 25:v.6-7
6 And at midnight* there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
*On God's watch, midnight is zero hour between the end of a millennium, and beginning of the next millennium
