If you take the scriptures in the Bible seriously and other scriptures too perhaps, you might take it that human history started with the beginning of the life of the man who in the Bible is called Adam and in ancient writings from the earliest civilisation called Alulim. The scriptural years from this first man of history's beginning to now including help from reliable sources gives us around 5900 years (with up to a dozen decades of inaccuracy possible). This puts us anything from decades to a century or more away from 6000 years since he was made, history from the time and scripture too says, from clay or mud or some other such material like an inanimate sculpture by God (Adam or Alum may have meant sculpture) and breath from God breathed into his lifeless nostrils to bring that body form to life. Now if you take this account and view history as a week of milennia then this approaching time up to say 100 to 150 years from now, perhaps a few decades sooner, God knows (literally) is comparable to a sabbath milennium. A milennium of rest. To some this provides hope that it will be the thousand years when Christ will rule the Earth.
