"and I know even the Apocalyptic Age may last, say, 500 years."

No, really the Bible is quite specific as to the length; we shown two periods of 42 months, and most interpret them to be immediately consecutive, thus seven years.

Please don't get going on each one's interpretation of the Bible right now. I think we can all safely say that we are one day closer to the end than we were yesterday.
