The timescale from the Book of Enoch:
Creation of Adam c3950-40 BC
Flood c2550-40 BC
Abraham c1850-40 BC
Law c1150-40 BC
Second Temple c460-40 BC
(reference point for these BC/AD dates)
Ascension between 460 BC and 250 AD
The Final Judgement before 3050 AD
This leaves barely time for a thousand years of Christ reigning but means a second coming by 2050 AD at latest and most likely before 2040.
How this was determined:
In the Book of Enoch, it says (http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/boe/boe096.htm)
“And after that in the fifth week, at its close, The house of glory and dominion shall be built for ever.”
Then later it says (http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/boe/boe097.htm)
“And after this, in the tenth week in the seventh part, There shall be the great eternal judgement, In which He will execute vengeance amongst the angels.”
Enoch effectively tells us the Final Judgement will be between 3400 and 3500 years after the building of the second temple in Jerusalem. This is because the rest of this account shows a week means seven centuries. Note: the year for Enoch and for angels was 364 days. So his 3500 years is 3490 years by our modern reckoning of years.
