| 23. 6,000 years by which calender? |
|
If I remember correctly that's 6,000 heavenly years and 1 day in heaven is equal to 10,000 earth years. They're not talking 6,000 Gergorian years. Which would actually be 6,001 years. No year 0 sperating 1 BC and 1 AD. But I could be wrong. I've been wrong before. So there is a very good possibility thsis event will occur again.
