61. THE SEVEN THOUSAND YEARS.

By A. H.

What are the grounds on which the position is taken that seven thousand years is the period allotted to time as connected with this earth, as set forth in Elder Haskell's article in No. 47 of the SIGNS?

1. We have the general belief of the Christian church throughout the dispensation.

2. The general law of types and sevens of the Bible. Seven thousand years is the great week of time.

3. The chronology of the Bible gives about six thousand years since the creation of man. The evidences of God's word and fulfilling prophecies and signs show that Christ's coming is near. After that the judgment age lasts a thousand years. Rev. 20: 1-6.
