The Talmud, the Midrash, and the Kabbalistic work, the Zohar, state that the ' deadline ' by which the Messiah must appear is 6,000 years from creation. According to tradition, the Hebrew calendar started at the time of Creation, placed at 3761 BC. The current ( 2017 / 2018 ) Hebrew year is 5778. The belief that the seventh millennium will correspond to the Messianic Age is founded upon a universalized application of the concept of Shabbat -- the 7th day of the week -- the sanctified ' day of rest '. The Ten Commandments state ( Exodus 20 : 8 ) : `` Remember the Sabbath day to sanctify it. Six days shall you work and perform all of your labors. And on the seventh day, which is the Sabbath day unto the Lord your God, you shall do no work... For in six days God made the heavens and the earth, the oceans and all therein, and He rested on the seventh day. Therefore God hath blessed the Sabbath day and sanctified it. '' This tradition maintains that each day of the week corresponds to one thousand years of creation : Just as the six days of the workweek culminate in the sanctified seventh day of Shabbat, so too will the six millennia of creation culminate in the sanctified seventh millennium ( Hebrew years 6000 -- 7000 ) -- the Messianic Age. Just as Shabbat is the sanctified ' day of rest ' and peace, a time representing joyful satisfaction with the labors completed within the previous 6 days, so too the seventh millennium will correspond to a universal ' day of rest ' and peace, a time of ' completeness ' of the ' work ' performed in the previous six millennia. The Talmud also draws parallels between the Shmita ( Sabbatical ) year and the seventh millennium : For six ' years ', or millennia, the earth will be worked, whilst during the seventh ' year ', or millennium, the world will remain ' fallow ', in a state of ' rest ' and universal peace. The reconciliation between the traditional Judaic age of the world and the current scientifically derived age of the world is beyond the scope of this article, with some taking a literal approach, as with Young Earth creationism, and others, such as Gerald Schroeder, a scientific conciliatory approach.

Katina said, `` Six thousand years the world will exist and one ( thousand, the seventh ), it shall be desolate ( haruv ), as it is written, ' And the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day ' ( Isa. 2 : 11 )... R. Katina also taught, `` Just as the seventh year is the Shmita year, so too does the world have one thousand years out of seven that are fallow ( mushmat ), as it is written, ' And the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day ' ( Isa. 2 : 11 ) ; and further it is written, ' A psalm and song for the Shabbat day ' ( Ps. 92 : 1 ) -- meaning the day that is altogether Shabbat -- and also it is said, ' For one thousand years in Your ( God 's ) eyes are but a day that has passed. ' ( Ps. 90 : 4 ) ( Sanhedrin 97a ). '' Midrash The Midrash in Pirke De-Rabbi Eliezer comments : Six eons for going in and coming out, for war and peace. The seventh eon is entirely Shabbat and rest for life everlasting. Kabbalah The Zohar states : In the 600th year of the sixth thousand, the gates of wisdom on high and the wellsprings of lower wisdom will be opened. This will prepare the world to enter the seventh thousand, just as man prepares himself toward sunset on Friday for the Sabbath. The Zohar explains further : The redemption of Israel will come about through the mystic force of the letter `` Vav '' ( which has the numerical value of six ), namely, in the sixth millennium.... Happy are those who will be left alive at the end of the sixth millennium to enter the Shabbat, which is the seventh millennium ; for that is a day set apart for the Holy One on which to effect the union of new souls with old souls in the world ( Zohar, Vayera 119a ). There is a kabbalistic tradition that maintains that each of the seven days of creation in Genesis chapter one corresponds to one millennium of the existence of natural creation. The tradition teaches that the seventh day of the week, the Sabbath day of rest, corresponds to the seventh millennium, the age of universal ' rest ' - the Messianic Era. Millennium Hebrew Year Corresponding day of week ( In Hebrew and English ) 0 - 1000 Rishon / Sunday 1000 - 2000 Sheini / Monday 2000 - 3000 Shlishi / Tuesday 3000 - 4000 Revii / Wednesday 5 4000 - 5000 Chamishi / Thursday 6 5000 - 6000 Shishi / Friday 7 6000 - 7000 Shabbat ( Sabbath ) / Saturday Rishonim and acharonim Elaborating on the theme of the seventh millennium representing the Messianic Age are numerous early and late Jewish scholars, including Rashi, the Ramban, Chaim Vital, Isaac Abrabanel, Abraham Ibn Ezra, Rabbeinu Bachya, Rabbi Yaakov Culi author of Me'am Lo'ez, the Vilna Gaon, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, the Ramchal, and Aryeh Kaplan. The acceptance of the idea of the seventh millennium representing the Messianic Age across the Ashkenazi - Sephardi divide, the Chassidim - Misnagdim divide, and across the rational Talmud and mystical Kabbalah perspectives, shows the centrality of this idea in traditional Judaism. Rashi Rashi draws a parallel between the tranquility experienced presently on the seventh day of the week, Shabbat, and that which will be experienced in the seventh millennium : The Talmud Avoda Zara folio 9a cites a teaching of the Academy of Elijah that `` the world will exist for six thousand years ''. Rashi ( s.v ששת אלפים שנים ) comments on this : `` The world is decreed to last for six thousand years, as the days of the week ; the seventh day of the week is Shabbat, so too in the seventh millennium, will there be tranquility in the world. '' Ramban In his Sha'ar Hagmul, Ramban writes that the sixth millennium will see the advent of the Messiah and the seventh millennium will be the Shabbat of the ' World to Come ', wherein the righteous will be resurrected and rejoice. Ramban further writes that the Scriptural verse, `` And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it '' ( Gen. 2 : 3 ), refers to His blessing the World to Come which begins at the seventh millennium. Bachya In his commentary to Genesis 2 : 3, Rabbeinu Bachya writes that the seventh millennium will follow the Messiah and the resurrection, and will be a time of `` great eternal delight '' for those who merit resurrection. This being the case, he explains, just as one prepares during the six days of the week for the Shabbat, so too one should prepare during the six thousand years for the seventh. Chaim Vital Chaim Vital writes that whoever wants to know what will happen in the end days, should study the first seven days of creation. Each day of creation represents 1000 years, and the seventh ' day ', beginning in the year 6000, represents the day of rest. Abrabanel Don Isaac Abrabanel writes that similar to the structure of the week of Creation, so too the world will exist for six thousand years, with the seventh millennium being a Hefsek ( break ) and a Shvita ( rest ), like Shabbat, Shmita, and Yovel. Rabbi Yaakov Culi In his famed work Me'am Lo'ez, in a section elaborating on the parallels between the Exodus from Egypt and the Final Redemption, Rabbi Yaakov Culi writes : `` It seems logical to assume that prayers said today for the redemption are more acceptable than those said in earlier times... In earlier times, the redemption was far in the future. Therefore, in order for their prayers to be have any effect, people had to pray intensely. In those days, people were a thousand years from the time in which the redemption had to take place. Now, however, we are only 500, or 200, years away from the time, and the closer it comes, the easier it is for prayers to be accepted ''. In the footnote to this statement, Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan writes : `` This was written in 5492 ( 1732 ). Since there was a tradition that the Messiah would have to come before the year 6000 ( 2240 ), there was only 500 years left until the redemption would have to come. There was also a tradition that the redemption would have to begin after 200 years, that is by 5700 ( 1940 ). This would seem to lend support to the contention that the formation of the modern state of Israel is the beginning of the redemption ''. Vilna Gaon The Vilna Gaon writes : Each day of Creation alludes to a thousand years of our existence, and every little detail that occurred on these days will have its corresponding event happen at the proportionate time during its millennium. The עִקְּבוֹת מְשִׁיחַ ( iqvot Meshiaḥ ), footsteps of Messiah, began the first hour of Friday morning in the Sixth Millennium, that is the year Five Hundred ( from nightfall of October 4, 1739 AD until nightfall of September 22, 1740 AD ), and from hour to hour the footsteps have continued to progress from many aspects ( cf. M Avot 1 : 1 ; BT Sanhedrin 38a ). As is known, every hour consists of forty - one years and eight months ( alt., 41.666 ), counting from the time that the bonds on the Messiah 's heels were loosened, as it says, You have loosened my bonds ( Psalms 116 : 16 ), and as revealed in : A decree He declared it for Joseph... ' I delivered his shoulder from the burden his palms were loosed from the hod ' ( Psalms 81 : 6 - 7 ). Beginning with the second hour ( i.e., from 5541 ( 1781 AD ) ), the entire House of Israel took the stage, both as a whole, and with regard to each individual member of the nation, as an order from above, of Messiah of the beginning of redemption, namely, Messiah Son of Joseph. Ramchal The Ramchal explains that the Shabbat Millennium will be a time of rest, which will be merited by the righteous. Lubavitcher Rebbe The Lubavitcher Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson explains that upon having reached the Hebrew year 5750 ( 1989 CE ), the millennial ' time - clock ' had reached the time of the ' eve ' of Shabbat. This is based on the teaching of the Talmud, which states that one thousand human years is equivalent to one ' day ' in the eyes of the Creator, which in turn is based upon the verse in Psalms, `` For one thousand years in Your eyes are but a day that has passed ( Psalms 90 : 4 ) ''. Therefore, given that one human - time millennium is equal to one cosmic ' day ', the human - time seventh millennium is equivalent to the seventh cosmic ' day ', the ' Shabbat ', the Messianic age. Given that the Jewish day begins at nightfall, the year 5750 represented 12 : 00pm midday on the millennial ' Friday ', as per the table below. The Lubavitcher Rebbe, as others, maintains that the Messiah must arrive at, or before, the onset of the Shabbat, the year 6000. Hebrew Year ( Common Era year ) Millennial Time 5000 ( 1239 AD ) 18 : 00 Thursday 5250 ( 1489 AD ) 00 : 00 Friday 5500 ( 1739 AD ) 06 : 00 Friday 5750 ( 1989 AD ) 12 : 00 Friday / Shabbat eve 5770 ( 2009 AD ) 12 : 30 Friday / Shabbat eve 6000 ( 2239 AD ) 18 : 00 Entry of Shabbat The English year 2018, corresponding to the Hebrew year 5778, thus marks 12 : 40pm on the Millennial Friday. In Jewish law, a half - hour past midday or mincha gedola marks the time on Friday afternoon when the influence of Shabbat begins, and some authorities forbid keeping a business open past that point. Shlomo Elyashiv Kabbalist and grandfather of Rabbi Yosef Sholom Eliashiv, Rabbi Shlomo Elyashiv writes in Drushei Olam HaTohu :... This is why so much time must transpire from the time of creation until the time of the Tikkun ( lit. ' correction ', Moshiach 's coming ). All the forces of Gevurot ( strict judgement ) are rooted in the six Sefirot -- Chesed, Gevurah, Tiferet, Netzach, Hod, Yesod -- which are the six days of creation... and also the 6,000 years of history that the world will exist. And within ( the six Sefirot ) are the roots of all that will happen from the six days of creation until the Final Tikkun... We find that all that transpires is the result of the sparks from the time of Tohu, Chaos... The Seven Millennia of natural existence according to the Kabbalah Hebrew Year : 0 - 1000 1000 - 2000 2000 - 3000 3000 - 4000 4000 - 5000 5000 - 6000 6000 - 7000 Day of Creation : Sefirah : 1 ( Sunday ) Chesed - Love 2 ( Monday ) Gevurah - Judgement 3 ( Tuesday ) Tiferet - Beauty 4 ( Wednesday ) Netzach - Victory 5 ( Thursday ) Hod - Splendour 6 ( Friday ) Yesod - Foundation 7 Shabbat / ( Saturday ) Malchut - Kingship Aryeh Kaplan Aryeh Kaplan writes : Never before has mankind been faced with such a wide range of possibilities. Never before has it had such tremendous power at its disposal, to use for good or evil... We need not belabor the point, but the past hundred years or so have brought about an increase in knowledge unsurpassed in all human history... The ultimate goal of the historic process is the perfection of society... is what we call the Messianic Age... Almost 2000 years ago, the Zohar predicted, `` In the 600th year of the sixth thousand, the gates of wisdom on high and the wellsprings of lower wisdom will be opened. This will prepare the world to enter the seventh thousand, just as man prepares himself toward sunset on Friday for the Sabbath. It is the same here. And a mnemonic for this is ( Gen 7 : 11 ), ' In the 600th year... all the foundations of the great deep were split '. Here we see a clear prediction that in the Jewish year 5600 ( or 1840 ), the wellsprings of lower wisdom would be opened and there would be a sudden expansion of secular knowledge. Esther Jungreis In an interview with Israel National Radio, Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis said the following : Listen carefully, friends, to what I 'm telling you. Hashem, Elokei Yisrael, created this world that we are living in today in six days. Every day was a thousand years. This world, as we know it today, can not last beyond 6,000 years. Right now, we are in the year 5769, which means it 's Erev Shabbos of the world. By the year 6,000, Mashiach has to be here. He could come much earlier. But by the year 6,000, he has to be here... the Vilna Gaon said that the last war, Milchemet Gog uMagog, is going to last only 12 minutes because they are going to have such weapons... We know that the final redemption, the final Geula, it 's going to be like when you left Egypt -- only one - fifth of our people left Egypt. Four - fifths perished... during the plague of darkness. So I 'm appealing to every Jew. Every negative prophecy can be changed. We can bring Mashiach today. Right now, we are living in a period called Erev ( eve of ) Shabbat. It 's Erev Shabbat, because when Mashiach will come, it will be the day that will be all Shabbat, the seventh day... Let 's bring Shabbos early, and let us to bring Shabbos with menucha ( ease ), with shalom ( peace ), with simchah ( happiness ) -- Is it possible ? Absolutely ? ! Every negative prophecy can be changed.
