One of the joys of having eschewed the doctrines and traditions of men is that all of the scholarly insights are likewise interesting but not material. Instead, the Spiritual leaning I have is to the 7,000 year calendar for Adamic man - a Jewish teaching, authenticated in Scripture and held by early Christians.

There is a 240 year difference between the Jewish calendar and the Christian calendar - but if the Christian calendar is right, then Christ's millenium - the 1,000 year Sabbath - is due to start any time now, but only the Father knows when.

But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. - Matt 24:36

As long as you remember that all these men (and women) had Spiritual leanings, just as one could say that the doctrine of A-G should be eschewed because it is a doctrine of a human.

There is something inherently suspect in any opinion being presented as "spiritual truth" while rejecting everyone else's as a "doctrine of men."

As for the millennium, the Scriptures say "soon" (in speed) and in the liftetime of one generation and individuals who were present whe He was speaking. All that was later on scrambled with various rationalizations because the millennium did not occur "soon."

I choose not to second guess God. It will come in due time, like everything else.
