Most Christians use the Gregorian Calendar which puts us in 2024. According to the Hebrew calendar its 5784.
Most of us ( the church) believe the Messianic Prophesies/ the second coming being soon (around 2,000 years). Although the Jews don’t believe in Jesus as the Messiah I understand we are actually in the year 5784. How should we view the second coming in terms of years?
I know that for God one day can be a thousand years for men. Does that then mean we are wrong to say 2,000 years?
*An overview of all Christian positions is needed for this question*
The Jews believe that the Messiah will come 6,000 years after creation which is how they started their calendar years to begin with so their years seem far more accurate regardless of if Jesus isn’t their Messiah.
