Hazakim - Millennium lyrics
[Hazakim - Millennium lyrics]
Look
He stretched out the heavens and measured
The earth with a span and in six days it was
Finished through His perfect command
On day seven
According to His purpose and plan
The Lord blessed it and rested from
The work of His hands
And the crowned jewel of the earth was man
Authority was conferred to his hands
Given dominion over all the beasts, birds
And the plants
Then the planet fell when man rebelled
Weeping heard through the land
Sin doused the candle, it’s lights out
Now families wiped out by
Famine and by drought humanity fights
Feelings of animus might sprout
As calamity strikes
Things we examine incite doubt
We see a planet of sobbin’ and grievin’
Starving and bleedin’
And say that God is hard to believe in
But we abandoned the Garden
Of Eden, started wanderin’, seekin’
Callin’ this treason "logic and reason"
Yet every day, and in every way
We long for much more than the present day
Free from the smoke
Smell of decay and the pepper spray
To breathe the cool
Cool breeze of the seventh day (yeah)
Creation and creator were in harmony
Peace manifested
Everything rested in God’s sovereignty
But here’s the mystery, possibly
The sixth day and the Sabbath
Day is history plus prophecy
A day to the Lord’s a millennium
A key to discernin’ the times
– more than an idiom
In these last days that we’re livin’ in
We look toward the millennium
Let me take you to the deep
Let’s swim away from the shallow
Ponder the sixth days
And the seventh day that was hallowed
The ancient rabbis and church fathers
Say was a shadow a blueprint of history
And the way it unraveled
It says a day unto the
Lord is a thousand years
The key of time now appeared loud and clear
For every day of creation it would mean
A corresponding thousand years of history
For six days God made the heaven and earth
Six thousand years man is treading the dirt
To gain, spread
And disperse and attain bread and to work
Man’s reign brought pain and hurt
– death and a curse
Seventh day – God finished
His work and rested
Seven thousandth year – peace
On earth perfected
When the righteous King will return to bless
And to rule the Sabbath when the
Saints of the earth possess it
(Whoo) yeah, that’s the millennial reign
He’s console and control – no video game
I know what many will claim
But this theory goes back to
The disciples of John
It’s not a trivial thing
Look, and this tradition was stated prior
By the rabbis who traced it to Elijah
And Hosea 6: 2 they applied to predict
The final two thousand years would
Be the days of Messiah
A day to the Lord’s a millennium
A key to discernin’ the times
– more than an idiom
In these last days that we’re livin’ in
We look toward the millennium
So now I’ve told you a theory that I hold to
So much more to say and so
Little time to go through ot
It’s why Paul could say that he
Was living in the "last days"
Now it’s final seconds
But to mention it is passé
Given the ancient belief that the
Sabbath is a type is why John mentioned a
Millennium in that way
Pointing to Messiah, many shadows and signs
(true)
Creation laid a pattern – John had it in mind
It was two days from the fall to Abraham
To be called and make a clan
From among the race of man (plus)
And two days later the promised Savior stands
On the earth to reverse the
Fallen state of man
As the slain Lamb – accomplished under a week
At the right hand
Enthroned on His wondrous seat
Where He remains for two days
Until the sum is complete
Then His enemies will find
Themselves under His feet
I said He’s coming back –
Shofars with the thunder clap
First visit, man missed it, gotta run it back
(run it back) and you should ask (yeah)
If the ancients were right
What time is it now? You should do the math
Everything is adding up and this may
Mean that we’re in the final
Seconds of the sixth day (soon)
If that was your answer you passed the test
Time is short, better work while it’s day
Until the Sabbath rest
A day to the Lord’s a millennium
A key to discernin’ the times
– more than an idiom
In these last days that we’re livin’ in
We look toward the millennium
He stretched out the heavens and measured
The earth with a span and in six days it was
