They are also an allusion to the tradition that this universe will continue for 6,000 years before it will experience a metamorphosis of 1,000 years after which the עולם הבא (next world) will be ushered in. The 1,000-year interval symbolizes the concept of the Sabbath.

  • But don’t forget this one thing, loved ones—that with Yahweh one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. Yahweh is not slow in keeping His promise, as some consider slowness. Rather, He is patient toward you—not wanting anyone to perish, but for all to come to repentance. But the Day of Yahweh will come like a thief. On that day, the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will melt in fervent heat, and the earth and all its works will be exposed.
  • When calculating the number of Sabbath days in the 6,000 years and adding the fact that the 1,000-year interval before the advent of עולם הבא is composed only of Sabbath days we get a total of 600,000 Sabbath days, or the same number as the number of the Jewish souls which experienced the Revelation and the building of the Tabernacle. This number also equals the number of letters the Torah is made up of.
  • The world will last for 6,000 years: 2,000 years of desolation, 2,000 years of Torah, and 2,000 years of the days of the Messiah. In the seventh millennium, the world will be rebuilt in glory.
  • In the time of the Messiah, there will be no difference between this world and the next except for the burdens of exile. All other things will align with God’s appointed times.
  • AND I appointed the eighth day also, that the eighth day should be the first-created after my work, and that the first seven revolve in the form of the seventh thousand, and that at the beginning of the eighth thousand there should be a time of not-counting, endless, with neither years nor months nor weeks nor days nor hours.
  • Firstly, it is the place to which everything returns in the “great” Jubilee, i.e. the completion of the world’s cycle of 7000 years. We are familiar with the basic concept from the Torah’s יובל (jubilee), the jubilee year legislation. The second reason is that a certain “inner spirit” reposes in that region. This is a spirit which comes directly from the emanation חכמה (wisdom), which in turn is fed by the אין סוף (eternal), the ultimate of all causes, G–d’s Essence, at all times. The philological origin of the expression תשובה (repent), is derived from Isaiah 30,15, בשובה ונחת תושעון, “Through returning and rest will you be saved.”
