‌Introduction

In my almost 40-year-long experience as a Christian and Seventh-day Adventist, I’ve never had tendencies to think about setting a time for Christ’s return.

However, the recent unprecedented and shocking facts associated with the pandemic, the current united worldwide effort to impose the New World Order ("Global Reset"), and papal attempts to introduce Sunday law based on the false climate change hysteria, persuaded me that the Spirit of God must be now departing from this world and therefore the end is very close.

It is very interesting that the same estimated time of the end of the 6000 years can be established on the basis of not one but many sources including Daniel 12:11-12, the cosmic week theory, the final jubilee year, the final sabbatical year, as well as statements provided by the Spirit of Prophecy.

I was very surprised and thrilled after discovering the fact that all these sources seem to agree and lead to the same year 2027.

If the presented here end-time estimation is correct, and the year 2027 is indeed going to be the last one in the 6000-year-long history of our world, then the final sabbatical period of seven years has already started in 2020 when the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the pandemic regarded as the first stage in the plan known as the New World Order and the Great Reset.

It will be followed by the digitalization of the world, a cashless society, enforcement of the false day of worship, and persecution of God's Commandments-keeping people.

Nevertheless, Prof. Walter Veith and Pastor David Gates, are right in suggesting that it shouldn't be our intention to persuade anyone that we can set the year 2027 as a definite and unquestionable time for Christ’s return.

We can't do this because although the presented here arguments seem to be convincing, the advice from the Spirit of Prophecy prevents us from suggesting a distinct and definite date, or from being certain that the suggested end-time estimation is free from errors.

However, on the basis of my in-depth study and prayerful analysis of the Bible, Spirit of Prophecy, and other sources dealing with the same subject, my conscience is prompting me to share a sensible conclusion that it is possible for the final events to take place between years 2024 and 2027.

I feel compelled to join other voices supporting the same idea because, if it is true, then it is now the last time to start preparing.

If we neglect this warning and the current short time given by God, then at the time of the Sunday law enforcement and outpouring of the Holy Spirit it might be too late!

According to the Spirit of Prophecy, the precise time (the day and hour) of Christ’s return, will be verbally announced by God the Father Himself during the darkest hour of the persecution and shortly before the second advent.

This is the best proof that we will not know the exact time (“day and hour”) of Christ’s return until the time of persecution.

Nevertheless, after careful and prayerful analysis of this subject, I strongly believe that we are now living so close to the second advent that it is God’s will for all believers to recognise the estimated time of the final events.

Such knowledge and the right attitude should become for us a wake-up call, and since we don’t set a precise or definite time for the second advent, we should not be disappointed or lose faith even if the final events will be delayed by a couple of years.

Concerning the timing of the final events, what matters is not whether it is going to be the year 2027 or 2031 but rather the idea that this time the end is truly very close and that this awareness should lead us to the spiritual revival encouraging a total commitment to God and His truth.

The closer we get to the above dates the more clearly we should see that this is the time we’ve been waiting for.

If the conclusion leading to the year 2027 is right then we can expect that from now on things can only get worse, especially for the commandment-keeping people.

The final events, such as the Sunday law enforcement and the latter rain, may take place earlier than we thought leaving us a very short time to prepare for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the time of trouble.

If the final events don't start in 2024 we won't lose anything but if they do then those of us who are "sleeping" risk losing everything if we don't wake up now and start redeeming the time every day as never before with constant fervent prayers, seeking the Lord in His Word, and leading other sinners to Christ and His truth!

"Unless we are daily advancing in the exemplification of the active Christian virtues, we shall not recognise the manifestations of the Holy Spirit in the latter rain.

It may be falling on hearts all around us, but we shall not discern or receive it" (TM 507).

“I saw that many were neglecting the preparation so needful, and were looking to the time of ‘refreshing’ and the ‘latter rain’ to fit them to stand in the day of the Lord, and to live in His sight.

Oh, how many I saw in the time of trouble without a shelter!

They had neglected the needful preparation; therefore they could not receive the refreshing that all must have to fit them to live in the sight of a holy God...

I saw that none could share the 'refreshing' unless they obtain the victory over every besetment, over pride, selfishness, love of the world, and over every wrong word and action.

We should, therefore, be drawing nearer and nearer to the Lord and be earnestly seeking that preparation necessary to enable us to stand in the battle in the day of the Lord.

Let all remember that God is holy and that none but holy beings can ever dwell in His presence...

We should watch and work and pray as though this were the last day that would be granted us.

How intensely earnest, then, would be our life.

How closely would we follow Jesus in all our words and deeds" (Early Writings, 71).

"On Sabbath afternoon one of our number was sick, and requested prayers that he might be healed.

We all united in applying to the Physician who never lost a case, and while healing power came down, and the sick was healed, the Spirit fell upon me, and I was taken off in vision.

I saw four angels who had a work to do on the earth, and were on their way to accomplish it.

Jesus was clothed with priestly garments.

He gazed in pity on the remnant, then raised His hands, and with a voice of deep pity cried, 'My blood, Father, My blood, My blood, My blood!' Then I saw an exceeding bright light come from God, who sat upon the great white throne, and was shed all about Jesus.

Then I saw an angel with a commission from Jesus, swiftly flying to the four angels who had a work to do on the earth, and waving something up and down in his hand, and crying with a loud voice, “Hold!

Hold! Hold! Hold! until the servants of God are sealed in their foreheads.

I asked my accompanying angel the meaning of what I heard, and what the four angels were about to do.

He said to me that it was God that restrained the powers, and that He gave His angels charge over things on the earth; that the four angels had power from God to hold the four winds, and that they were about to let them go; but while their hands were loosening, and the four winds were about to blow, the merciful eye of Jesus gazed on the remnant that were not sealed, and He raised His hands to the Father and pleaded with Him that He had spilled His blood for them.

Then another angel was commissioned to fly swiftly to the four angels and bid them hold, until the servants of God were sealed with the seal of the living God in their foreheads!"

(EW, pp.

37-38).

Since the subject is of great importance, do not draw any based on preconceived ideas conclusion before a prayerful and careful analysis of the presented here arguments.

Please, read it repeatedly, pray over it, and if you are convinced that this message comes from the Lord, share it with others.

‌Please, pray now before reading this article asking for the enlightenment and guidance of the Holy Spirit who is to "lead us into all truth".

The Cosmic Week Idea

‌The idea known as the “cosmic week” refers to the belief that the end of the world should take place after six thousand years of the world’s history.

According to this theory, each day of creation week represents a thousand years (2 Peter 3:8).

Since God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh day, similarly, this world is to exist for six thousand years, followed by one thousand years of the earth’s rest and the simultaneous heavenly rest of those who are going to be saved.

In the Bible, it is known as the Millennium (Revelation 20:5) and it refers to the final Jubilee and the Sabbatical year of Leviticus 25:2-4 during which the earth will rest uncultivated.

‌

Regarding the Jewish belief in the cosmic week idea, Wikipedia provides the following statement: “The Talmud, Midrash, and the Kabbalistic work, the Zohar state that the due date by which the Messiah must appear is 6,000 years from creation”  (Year 6000).

‌

Below I have included quotes from early Christian writers who believed that at the end of 6,000 years of the world’s history, Christ would return and reign for 1,000 years (referred to as the Millennium).

‌

Barnabas (AD 100): "As there had been 2,000 years from Adam to Abraham, and 2,000 from Abraham to Christ; so there will be 2,000 years for the Christian era and then would come the Millennium."

‌

Irenaeus (AD 150): "For the day of the Lord is as a thousand years; and in six days created things were completed; it is evident, therefore, that they will come to an end at the sixth thousand years."

‌

Lactantius (AD 325): “Let the philosophers know that the six thousandth year is not yet completed; and when this number is completed, the consummation must take place."

‌Some Seventh-day Adventist pioneers believed in the cosmic week.

The most influential proponent of this idea was John N. Andrews whom Ellen White described as “the ablest of our men”.

He was known to be able to recite the entire New Testament and almost the entire Old Testament.

In 1883 he published a series of six articles in the Review with the general heading "The Great Week of Time" (11).

The following quote comes from one of those articles:

‌

“Peter says that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day (2 Peter 3:8).

By this we think he meant, not simply that the day of judgment will occupy the period of 1,000 years, though this fact seems to be revealed in Revelation 20, in what is said of the two resurrections, but we think that Peter also signified by it that the period devoted to the history of man before the day of judgment, was also indicated by the days that God employed in the work of creation.

We think, therefore, that at the end of 6,000 years from creation, the day of judgment will commence, and that that day will last for the period of 1,000 years...

It has been the faith of the most eminent servants of God, not only during the entire gospel dispensation but also during some hundred years previous to Christ's first advent, that the period of 6,000 years from the creation would extend to the day of Judgment.

And we think that the most careful study of the chronology of the Bible and of the prophetic periods will strongly confirm this view.

‌Though the two great prophetic periods of Daniel 8 and Daniel 12 do not mark the exact time of Christ's coming, they evidently terminate not far from that event, and we shall find on examination that if the age of the world at the dates of the commencement of these two periods be added to the periods themselves, we shall have in each case very nearly the sum of 6,000 years.

We shall have occasion to speak at some length on this point hereafter, and we shall also have occasion to speak of the sabbatical year and the year of jubilee, in Lev. 25, as typifying the great week of 7,000 years” (11)
