Consider this: if you count the generations from Adam to Abraham, you get a certain amount of generations, totalling 2000 years. (even if some of these are 'symbolic'.) Count the years from Abraham until the coming of Jesus. 2000 years. (more accurately, 1930 years).  How many years from Jesus until now? Just check the calendar.  How or why could this be so? God is the creator of all things in Heaven and Earth. Even a flower is mathematical in nature. Likewise, God's providence flows according to certain, natural mathematical laws.    Adam to Abraham (2000 symbolic years) Abraham to Jesus (2000 actual years) Jesus to .... the Great Awakening? Well...? Peace and blessings.
