The duration of this earth iteration (age) is clearly given in the texts of the KJV bible. 2nd Peter Ch 3 states a day with the **** is a 1000 years with man. Therefore the first 7 days mentioned in Genesis 1 are 7000 years and the 8th day upon which Adam was formed, starts the next week of 1000 year days which close with the Reign of Jesus Christ for 1000 years (Rev 20)...... Therefore there are two weeks of 1000 year days assigned to this second of 3 earth iterations, upon which we now exist in the waning hours of the 6th day of the second week. ------------ St Augustine missed this obvious timing and was not able to put together Daniel 11 with the existence of Rome as an example of what is to come. Therefore the truth was given over to supposition and the thoughts of possibility and not constrained to written prophecy. Daniel 11 is prophecy even until this day, for no false Jesus Christ emerged from Rome to gather into a final global order. Therefore Persia and Alexander of Macedonia and Rome and the coming of Jesus Christ were all examples of what shall come at the end of this earth iteration, upon this 6th day of this second week which we are within,
