Irenaeus likewise lib. 5. cap. vi•. concludeth, That the world shall continue only 6000. years: and he collected this his commentation, not from the Hebrews, but from the proportion of six days, wherein ⟨p. 22⟩the world was created, after which six days was the Sabbath, that is, the day of rest. This indeed (saith he) is both a narration of things past, and a prophecy of things to come: For one day signifieth a thousand years, as the Scriptures do testify; and 2. Pet. 3. One thousand years before the Lord are as one day. Therefore as the World was consummate in the Creation thereof, within the compass of six days, and then Rest; so in the end thereof it shall be consummate within the space of six […] years: then shall follow true and perpetual rest▪
