His days are numbered

Today is November, 22 2019 / Or Cheshvan 24, 5780

There has been an old saying, which seems to have a basis in history and scripture, “your days are numbered”. We know, we can both; shorten and lengthen our days, by how we live, but for the most part; a persons days are numbered.

We see; references to this; both in Daniel and Job.

Daniel 5:

24“Then from his presence the hand was sent, and this writing was inscribed. 25And this is the writing that was inscribed: Mene, Mene, Tekel, and Parsin. 26This is the interpretation of the matter: Mene, God has ^numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end; 27Tekel, you have been ^weighed in the balances and found wanting; 28Peres, your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.”ⁱ

^{Job 14:5}

^{5Seeing his days are determined, The number of his months is with thee, And thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;}

^{A strange or difficult statement; made by G-D, is that one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as a day.}

^{We say it’s the 21st century, but why is that said, since it’s 2019}

^{Example/ when the years changed from 1999 to 2000, 2000 was completed and 2100 began}

^{The Jewish people have done and are doing the world a great service, by keeping count from creation.}

^{Since today is Cheshvan 24,5780. Then we can say correctly that we are in the 6th century since creation.}

^{Now if we apply the statement of a thousand years as a day; then we are in the 6th day.}

^{What if; the number 666 is the number of his days, would that mean the completion of this evil’s time; would end in the 7th day?}
