The typology of scripture must be reconciled to actual fulfilment of the types and figures. In the case of the day of the crucifixion and death of our saviour this is extremely important and instructive. The six hours on the cross represents the first 6 thousand years of human history. If you are looking at the six hours on the cross it corresponds to the time when God through Christ was giving a ransom for the world. In actual time, the seventh of the seven thousand years is the "day of the LORD," which we know from scripture is 1000 years. It is a day of rest when the work of redemption is finished and the Lord is at rest from his labor.
God has already said, and seem no one takes him serious, that one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day. Many places in the scriptures where this is clearly seen and both the thousand year day is visible and the twenty four hour day of man is present. Example:
Mar 9:1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. (the physical kingdom of God comes on day seven, the Sabbath day of rest in the Jewish economy).
2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.
John 5:17
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto,
and I work.
John 19:30
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said,
It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
At the beginning of the 7 day week Jesus had entered Bethany (house of figs) and John said it was 6 days before the Passover.
Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
He would teach in the temple for the first 4 days and at the end of 4 days he would depart the temple for the last time. This in itself is a symbolic event. Sunday, Monday. Tuesday. Wednesday ,representing the time of the OT. Then the Olivet discourse where we get the two days of this present dispensation during which Jesus is on the Father's throne as making intercession for us, Thursday and Friday, days 5 and 6. BTW, the # 5 is the number of God for grace. Then, Day 7, the day Jesus rests from his labor. All together you have the complete week at the end of the 7th day. What then?
A new week begins on Sunday.
Re 21;1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. A new week, a new start.
Matthew 28:1
In the end of the sabbath, as it began to
dawn toward the first day of the week,
I have just touched the surface of this picture story of Gods great plan of redemption. It certainly is not exhaustive and I have not tried in this post to connect all the dots. It is incredible.
Luke 21:37
And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and
at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.
.The Olivet Discourse is on Wednesday.
The work was finished in six days and he rested on the seventh. Believe the words. God has drawn us a picture. Can we see it?
