I read something very interesting in the epistle from Barnabas. He writes:
Barnabas 15:3
Of the Sabbath He speaketh in the beginning of the creation; And
God made the works of His hands in six days, and He ended on the
seventh day, and rested on it, and He hallowed it.
Barnabas 15:4
Give heed, children, what this meaneth; He ended in six days. He
meaneth this, that in six thousand years the Lord shall bring all
things to an end; for the day with Him signifyeth a thousand years;
and this He himself beareth me witness, saying; Behold, the day of
the Lord shall be as a thousand years. Therefore, children, in six
days, that is in six thousand years, everything shall come to an end.
Barnabas 15:5
And He rested on the seventh day. this He meaneth; when His Son
shall come, and shall abolish the time of the Lawless One, and shall
judge the ungodly, and shall change the sun and the moon and the
stars, then shall he truly rest on the seventh day.
Source: The Epistle of Barnabas (translation J.B. Lightfoot)
The millennial kingdom that is mentioned in Revelation could represent the seventh day. And if we count the years from Adam to today, then we are currently about in the 6000 year . Thus we are just before the seventh day .
What do you think about it?
Will Jesus return in the year 7.000*? (I mean 7,000, not 6,000)
Will Jesus return in the year 6000?
Will Jesus return in the year 6000?
Jesus was never to return physically and materially. Jesus never
claimed it. Jesus was to return symbolically. Right , please?
Regards

It is not the "gospel of barnabas".I don't believe the gospel of Barnabas is inspired or authentic as claimed.

Thanks for the info. But the gospel of "Barnabas" is not the epistle of Barnabas.Epistle of Barnabas - ntcanon.org

In short, the Epistle of Barnabas is a good and early example of what became the dominant method of interpreting the Bible in the early and medieval church. It is generally agreed that the author was from Alexandria , in view of his fondness of the allegorical approach for which Alexandria was well-known and the fact that all the earliest evidence for the existence of the document derives from there.

While I'll never be able to prove it by virtue that I'm not going to live for thousands of years, yet I can safely say that Jesus is never going to come back because he's simply invented in the minds of his creators which are other people. A mental puppet.I read something very interesting in the epistle from Barnabas. He writes:

The Epistle of Barnabas was considered canonical by some Fathers of the Church (Clement of Alexandria, Origen, Jerome) and is also completely contained in the Codex Sinaiticus and the Codex Hierosolymitanus.I don't believe the gospel of Barnabas is inspired or authentic as claimed.

Jesus has already returned. He's been reincarnated and he's in his late seventies. His new name is William Alan Troetschel and he will lead the "sons of darkness".
