It is not in the verses about the virgins.>> IGIT: Well here's a quick stabb at it... 1) There are 360 degrees in the zodiac. 2) Each degree accounts for 72 years. 3) Rotating through the entire zodiac takes 25920 Years 4) Each sign of the zodiac accounts for 2160 years. Conclusion: Perhaps the 1000 years in Revelations refers to the time it takes to prepare 72 for the last 1260 days which begins in another 23 "I AM" days from today on April 24th. Today is the 743nd day of the Age of Aquarius which began on March 21, 2000. 72 X 10 - "10" like 1000 years = 720 and then add 23 "I AM" and you are at 743. The final 1260 day cycle brings us to the end of the 14,000 days cycle which began on 19670607 ONE (1) Day after D-Day 23 "I AM" years later from 1944. This is simply a microcosm of the same overall pattern of cycles which have been playing out for thousands of years according to Biblical prophecy. For example all of these cycles fit perfectly into the Mohammed and Bahai manifestations which connect, thread and are in perfect synch with the prophecies of Danial, Matthew 24 and John, etc. Our Lord's Divine order acts like a perfect hologram which is in synch with all of quantum physics. The smallest of the smallest parts are exact images-mirrors of the largest of the largest parts. Everything emmanates and is connected to ONE (1) and there is no conditional or relative time-space division or separation. It's all ONE continuum. All division, all separation and any and notions of competition are simply grand illusions which are propagated and believed by mankind's egoic insanity which seeks to define, label, claim and control the position of God which makes everything "factorable" and thus "claimable, blamable and shamable." But I am confident that all this madness will be transcended by mankind. We are all going to "go higher" once we "see" and understand the spirtually connected reality of our ONE creator's quantum model of His perfect energy, light and Love which emmanates from His Divine order according to His Divine Providence. It's a perfect hologram which contains ALL of the intelligence, energy, knowledge and wisdom in the universe and each individual was given a divine soul which is connected directly to it. All it takes is for ONE individual at a time to "see, believe and share" this spiritual reality of energy, light and Love with others. In Divine Love and Wisdom, Emanuel Swedenborg offer the following definition of love: "Love consists of having what is one's own belong to another, and feeling another's joy as joy in oneself - that is loving." (DLW 47). And as George F. Dole, in his article "An Image of God in A Mirror" stated immediately following this: "Now this is either total unrealism, total disregard of the facts, or "what is one's own" DOES belong to another, and the other's joy IS joy in oneself. The notion of love as self-sacrifice, of altruism as behavior that brings no benefit whatever to the actor, misses the point completely" - Emanuel Swedenborg: A Continuing Vision, p. 380. 119293!!
