chapter eleven Time Almost Fulfilled
I can appreciate the weight of the message God has called me to share with you, and I pray that you will dive deep into His word, “the sword of the Spirit” (Eph 6:17), so that you may stand upon righteous ground and declare as Jesus...
“It is written”Matthew 4:4
As I begin to wrap things up, I’d like to explain why I’ve titled this book ‘After Six Days’... but before I do, I’d like to take a moment to address who Alice A. Bailey is, and what it is that Satan has channelled through her into the auspices of the United Nations.
“A Christian missionary turned theosophist whose writings, esoteric school and organisations provided the foundations of the New Age movement. Controversy dogged Alice Bailey from the moment she joined the Theosophical Society and rose to prominence as teacher and scribe for a master of the wisdom known as the Tibetan. Her co-workers continue to this day to carry her way of thinking into the auspices of the United Nations, whose World Core Curriculum is based on her ideas.” Isobel Blackthorn: Life & Legacy
Satan and his angels have been extremely busy, over many centuries, seeding their evil plans into the minds of mankind. Through their influence, governments and super-powers of the world have been shaped and directed upon their rebellious paths, full of twisted truths and secret societies.
“Bailey founded the Arcane School to propagate the theosophical teachings that came through her channelings from the Tibetan Master.” encyclopedia.com “World Goodwill is an organization founded in 1932 to apply the teachings of former Theosophist Alice A. Bailey (1880-1949)… an organization that supports the work of the United Nations and is recognized as an accredited nongovernmental organization.” encyclopedia.com
It’s important for us to consider that Alice A. Bailey “described the majority of her work as having been telepathically dictated to her by a Master of Wisdom, initially referred to only as "the Tibetan" or by the initials "D.K.", later identified as Djwal Khul... Her writings bore some similarity to those of Madame Blavatsky and are among the teachings often referred to as "Ageless Wisdom" (wiki/Alice_Bailey).
For it is these writings, these teachings, that are carried “into the auspice of the United Nations” and are foundational to the “World Core Curriculum which applies to education of the United Nations framework for dealing with complex issues” (eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ398329).
Her book, ‘Externalisation of the Hierarchy’, is written much like an instruction manual for her disciples - those that are knowingly and unknowingly aligned with the currently hidden workings of the “first beast” of Revelation. This includes affiliates within the United Nations and other worldwide organisations.
Within its “channelled” pages, Bailey lays out the plan and timeframe for Satan’s final deceptions. The “Hierarchy”, as Bailey refers, are fallen angels, whom Bailey always reverences with a capital letter, and Satan, also a fallen angel, is referred to as “the Christ”.
“They [Hierarchy] will also teach human beings as individuals and as a race to expand their consciousness to include the superphysical.” (Ex. of the Hier. p. 449).
Showing “great signs and wonders” (Matt 24:24), “false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ” (2 Cor 11:13). - This is what we are headed for...
“And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” 2 Corinthians 11:13-15
Please consider this statement channelled through Bailey in the early 20th Century...
“Today, human beings as a whole are so loudly invocative that the entire trend of the life of the Hierarchy and Its plans to date have been subjected to change, to postponement as far as certain interior and purely hierarchical determinations are concerned, and to a hastening of certain plans which were slated (if I may use such a word) to take place several centuries later than this…” Bailey, p. 495
Could these “slated” plans be referring to the deposal of Pope Pius VI in 1798, as the “beast” received its’ “deadly wound” (Rev 13:12)?
“…but which—owing to the unexpected preparedness of humanity—can take place, not prematurely really, but securely and in the fullness of time; this fullness of time, as regards the particular planning with which we are dealing, is from now until the year 2025.” Bailey, p. 495
After flattering her disciples with… “owing to the unexpected preparedness of humanity”, Bailey declares that the “Hierarchy and its plans” are secure and on time. From “now until the year 2025” is the time Bailey refers to as “The Stage of the Forerunner”...
“The present cycle (from now until that date) is called technically “The Stage of the Forerunner”. It is preparatory in nature, testing in its methods, and intended to be revelatory in its techniques and results.” Baily, p. 467
Without venturing further in, I would say that the “so called” Covid pandemic was a major “testing” of worldwide “methods”, “revelatory in its techniques and results”, whereby the “pandemic” was the propagator for mass, worldwide injections of unknown substances, and “preparatory in nature” as laws were reshaped, quarantine facilities built, and the people conditioned in preparation for a real pandemic.
According to the “Tibetan”, channelled through Bailey and embraced by the United Nations, the year 2025 marks the end of the “The Stage of the Forerunner” and a significant step-up for Satan’s end-time push against God’s people to begin.
“The Hierarchy will eventually, under its Head, the Christ [Satan], function openly and visibly on earth. This will happen when the purpose of the divine will and the plan which will implement it is better understood and the period of adjustment, of world enlightenment and of reconstruction has made real headway.” Bailey, p. 432.
Although “...we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Eph 6:12), Satan has enjoined mankind in his affairs, of which I’ll point out but one curiosity... being that the Hebrew word nāšā' means to “deceive” or “beguile” ...
“...The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.” Genesis 3:13
For Satan knows that his time is short (Rev 12:12), and he knows that he is ultimately bound by God’s Time - a time that God will eventually “cut short” (Matt 24:22).
“And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.” Mark 13:20 So, what is God’s time?
“But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.” Mark 13:32
Often, these words leave Christians lacking the desire to know of Christ’s return, thinking God has nothing more to reveal to us in His Word. But it is The Living Word and He asks us to “watch” (Matt 24:42), that we may see the season of His coming.
Jesus spoke often about time. Before His earthly ministry began, He said to His mother Mary, “my time has not yet come” (John 2:4). To His disciples regarding the Cross, Jesus said “My appointed time is near” (Matt 26:18), and throughout the bible we are told of specific chronologies and prophecies of time. God indeed is working in His time (1Tim 6:15).
“For in six days the Lord made Heaven and Earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it.” Exodus 20:11
God’s work of creation lasted six days and on the seventh day He walked with Adam and Eve in the garden. God’s seven-day cycle is foundational in His plan for our salvation.
God’s seven-day cycle, the cycle we call a week, stands unique to our other measures of day, month or year, which are derived from our perspectives of the earth’s rotation, the moon orbiting around us, and our trek around the sun... But our weekly seven-day cycle comes purely from the Word of God.
Throughout Scripture we can see clearly that this seven-day cycle comprises of two characteristics; “Six” and “Seventh” – and this pattern is shown to us repeatedly throughout the Bible. “Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof; But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land”Leviticus 25:3,4
“Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.” Exodus 23:12
It is this ‘six and seventh’ pattern seen throughout Scripture that has led many Christians to believe, myself included, that Jesus will return on the “seventh”, so that we might again walk with Him face-to-face, as Adam and Eve did on the seventh day.
There are many verses throughout the Bible that mention six days, six years, six sons, six Levites, six lambs, six men, six choice sheep, six on a row [Showbread], six curtains, six names, six waterpots of stone, upon which much analogy could be derived for Christ’s return on the “seventh”, but let’s just look at a few specific verses through “type” and “antitype” application.
As a reminder, a biblical “type” is a symbol, person or event appointed by God to represent a higher/greater truth to come in the future, which is called the “antitype.” For example, the Israelites coming into the land of Canaan are a “type” to God’s people finally entering the Kingdom of Heaven, which is the “antitype”.
With that in mind, consider Exodus 24:16 (type), as God called unto Moses on the “seventh” day, in relation to Revelation 1:7 when Jesus will be “coming with the clouds” (antitype)...
“And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud.” Exodus 24:16
And consider Mark 9:2, as Jesus was “transfigured” on the “seventh” day, in relation to His second coming...
“And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.”Mark 9:2
Now, let’s consider the Passover as a “type” for Christ’s second coming, whereby the blood on the door posts, a sign for protection (Ex 12:7), is the “blood of the lamb” (Rev 12:11) by which we “overcome” and by which God’s people are “sealed” (Rev 7:3) during the “last plagues” (Rev 15:1,2).
“Then Jesus six days before the Passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.”John 12:1
Jesus came to Bethany “six days” before the Passover. Why are we given this information in Scripture? Is there a reason why God wanted us to know that Jesus arrived in Bethany “six days before the Passover”? Perhaps.... What it does tell us is that Jesus was in Bethany for “six days” and then the Passover was on the seventh day.
Substituting “type” (Passover) for “antitype” (Christ’s second advent), John 12:1 would read,
“…six days before the second coming of Jesus…”
Interestingly, Bethany is also where Lazarus was “raised from the dead”, which is directly mentioned in John 12:1, and thus links this verse to the second coming of Christ, which will be the time of the “first resurrection” (1 Thess 4:16)
As one more example, consider Jericho...
“And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days... and the seventh day... all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.” Joshua 6:3-5
Though scripture does not give us definitive doctrinal teachings about when Christ will return, and indeed we’re told that “of that day and hour knoweth no man” (Mat 24:36), I’m proposing that God has indeed revealed His “times and seasons” within His written word.
In Second Peter 3:8 we are taught,
“...One day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day”
And when we read this statement within context, we’ll agree that it relates to the second coming of Jesus, with scoffers saying, “Where is the promise of his coming?” (2 Peter 3:4)
And again, God’s perspective on time is expressed to us through Psalm...
“For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.”Psalms 90:4
If a thousand years is “as one day” and Christ returns after six days, being 6000 years, then the thousand years we reign with Christ in Heaven (Rev 20:6), beginning at His second advent, could be considered the “seventh day” - meaning, Jesus may be returning after six thousand years (six days) and at His return we enter a thousand-year sabbath (the “seventh day”) with Him in Heaven. And just as we are to enter our “seventh day” rest when Jesus returns, the earth too shall rest for a thousand years, after it passes “away with a great noise, and the elements... melt with fervent heat” (2 Peter 3:10), at Christ’s coming. Job expresses something that might get us thinking…
“He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.” Job 5 :19
Could Job be sharing a truth about the length of our affliction in this fallen world being likened to “six troubles”, followed by our eternal freedom from evil in “seven”, through Christ’s atonement made complete at His second coming?
If this is so, if Jesus is returning after “six troubles”, “six days”, or six thousand literal years, then the question arises as to how long it’s been since God created Adam?
Many Christians may not be aware that most Protestant Theologians held some level of belief in the “millennial day” theory, as described above. Though one cannot scripturally establish a firm doctrine that Christ will return after six thousand years, this theory resonated with reformers to the extent that they included a biblical timeline in the back of the 1560 Geneva Bible.
“The Geneva Bible was published by a colony of Protestant scholars in exile from England who worked under the general direction of Miles Coverdale and John Knox and under the influence of John Calvin.”britannica.com/topic/Geneva-Bible
This genealogical timeline reads: “The whole sum and number of years from the beginning of the world unto this perfect year of our Lord God 1560, are just 5534, 6 months, and the said odd ten days”
It’s interesting to note their confidence to publish such an exact count, even to “6 months and the said odd ten days”. To publish such a statement in the Geneva Bible would not have come about haphazardly, nor passed willy-nilly by the protestant scholars that worked so hard to bring this English translation to God’s people. This timeline is titled: “A Perfect Supputation of the Year and Times from Adam unto Christ, proved by Scriptures, after the collection of diverse authors.”
According to their “Perfect Supputation” (A method or system of calculating or reckoning), they have concluded that as of 1560AD, 5,534.5 years have passed since Adam was created.
This indicates that the end of the “sixth day”, or 6000 years of mankind since the creation of Adam, falls between June 2025 and June 2026, dependant on which month in 1560 the Geneva Bible was printed. However, this includes the time Adam and Eve lived in Eden, which, by reason, cannot be part of the “six troubles” (Job 5:19).
In Jesus’ parable of the good Samaritan, the Samaritan indicates to the “innkeeper” that he will be returning in two days, as “he took out two denarii (two days’ wages) and gave them to the innkeeper, and said, Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I return” (Luke 10:35amp).
If Jesus is this “good Samaritan” and He is to return two days after His departure, which was at His ascension into heaven shortly after His resurrection (Mark 16:19), and if “one day is with the Lord as a thousand years” (2 Pet 3:8), then it’s reasonable to suggest that Jesus may return in 2031.
Relative to the 1560 Geneva Bible indicating that 2025 could possibly mark 6000 years since the creation of Adam, and with Christ possibly coming 6 years later, in 2031 - I suggest that Adam and Eve lived 6 years in Eden before God sent them “from the garden” (Gen 3:23).
It would be a poetic beauty from our God the Creator if, that after six years of perfect beauty within the garden of Eden, on the seventh “sin entered into the world” (Rom 5:12). Yet, through the Grace of God, after 6000 years of “troubles”, on the seventh, in “Christ shall all be made alive” (1 Cor 15:22).
Yes, Christ is coming soon... I believe after six days✞------------------------------------

Relative to the 1560 Geneva Bible indicating that 2025 could possibly mark 6000 years since the creation of Adam, and with Christ possibly coming 6 years later, in 2031 - I suggest that Adam and Eve lived 6 years in Eden before God sent them “from the garden” (Gen 3:23).
It would be a poetic beauty from our God the Creator if, that after six years of perfect beauty within the garden of Eden, on the seventh “sin entered into the world” (Rom 5:12). Yet, through the Grace of God, after 6000 years of “troubles”, on the seventh, in “Christ shall all be made alive” (1 Cor 15:22).
Yes, Christ is coming soon... I believe after six days✞------------------------------------
