There are compelling evidences demonstrating that God predestined 7000 years for the restoration of the Earth. Throughout scriptures a pattern of 7 is established as is seen below:
In Genesis 1 God created the world in 6 days and on the seventh day he rested. He then passed this cycle onto mankind and I give examples of such scenarios;
Exodus 23:12 6 days shall thou work and on the seventh day shall thou rest.
Exodus 23:10 sow your land for 6 years and gather its produce but during the seventh year you are to let it rest and leave it uncultivated.
Deuteronomy 15:12 if a follow Hebrew a man or woman sells himself to you and serves you six years in the seventh year you must let him go free and when you release him do not send him empty handed.
Leviticus 25:2-22 the last itself must observe a Sabbath to the lord for six years sow your fields and for 6 years prune your vineyards and gather their crops. But in the seventh year the land is to have a Sabbath of rest. A Sabbath to the lord.
There seems to be a recurrent pattern of six days or six years for work or slavery and the seventh day or year of freedom.
Can this be a reflection of man’s bondage to sin for 6 millenniums before a final millennium of Christs reign?
The bible points us to millennial “Sabbath” after six 1,000-year millennial “days” have expired. Revelation (20:4-7)
Can it be that God intends for us to think of the Millennium as a 1,000-year “Sabbath” of rest from the evils of sin, stresses and suffering of the previous 6,000 years?
Some of the most authoritative researches have placed the possible time of creation at 4000BC. It's clear that the lapsed time since Adam and Eve has been almost 6,000 years, which are six millenniums.
It therefore goes that if we can determine the day when man fell under the bondage of sin and under the slavery of sin then we could tell the time of Christ return.
Unfortunately, the bible does not disclose this information.
However, the duration of man’s state of innocence was evidently very brief, for in Genesis 5:3 we read, that "Adam lived a hundred and thirty years, and begot a son . . . and called his name Seth.
Three things stand out clearly: (1) Adam was 130 years old when Seth was born, (2) Adam and Eve did not begin having children until they sinned and were banished from Eden (3) Seth was born after Cain had slain Abel.

How old could Cain have been to bring the offerings in worship to God, to consider killing the brother and to set off on his own according to the curse of God? 90 years?
Their actual age is not recorded- purposefully, but they had become adults of responsibility.
From this it would appear that mankind's fall into sin took place shortly after creation—probably 40 Years after creation. 6000 years later we land in 2040 AD.
Assuming our margin of error is not so great then we should be expecting Christ before the year 2040.
