First, what is Shabbat? Certainly you’ve heard of the Sabbath, otherwise known as “Shabbat” or “Shabbos”. It’s actually part of the 10 Commandments.
זָכוֹר֩ אֶת־י֨וֹם הַשַּׁבָּ֜ת לְקַדְּשׁ֗וֹ Remember the Sabbath day to sanctify it. שֵׁ֣שֶׁת יָמִ֣ים תַּֽעֲבֹד֘ וְעָשִׂ֣יתָ כָל־מְלַאכְתֶּךָ֒ Six days may you work and perform all your labor וְי֨וֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִ֜י שַׁבָּ֣ת | לַֽיהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֗יךָ לֹ֣א תַֽעֲשֶׂ֣ה כָל־מְלָאכָ֡ה אַתָּ֣ה | וּבִנְךָ֣־וּ֠בִתֶּךָ עַבְדְּךָ֨ וַֽאֲמָֽתְךָ֜ וּבְהֶמְתֶּ֗ךָ וְגֵֽרְךָ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר בִּשְׁעָרֶ֔יך but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord, your God; you shall perform no labor, neither you, your son, your daughter, your manservant, your maidservant, your beast, nor your stranger who is in your cities. כִּ֣י שֵֽׁשֶׁת־יָמִים֩ עָשָׂ֨ה יְהֹוָ֜ה אֶת־הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם וְאֶת־הָאָ֗רֶץ אֶת־הַיָּם֙ וְאֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר־בָּ֔ם וַיָּ֖נַח בַּיּ֣וֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִ֑י עַל־כֵּ֗ן בֵּרַ֧ךְ יְהֹוָ֛ה אֶת־י֥וֹם הַשַּׁבָּ֖ת וַֽיְקַדְּשֵֽׁהוּ For [in] six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and He rested on the seventh day. Therefore, the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and sanctified it.
In summary, 6 days of work, and 1 day of rest. Shabbat is observed every week. There are no weeks off.
“The” Shabbat is something different. 6 days represents 6000 years, and the 7th day represents 1000 years of rest. Hashem promises 1000 years of rest. That is “The Shabbat”. Whereas the 7th day Shabbat is for Jews only, the 7th millennium is for the entire Cosmos.

Our sages teach The Shabbat will be the most peaceful time in history. Hashem (“the Name” of G-d) will be revealed in this world, Moshiach will arrive, the Sanhedrin will be reinstated, and the 3rd Temple will be built.
COSMIC SHABBAT
The Case to Change the Calendar
By Aryeh Rifkin, Founder and President of The Shabbat Inc, 501c3
The “Cosmic Shabbat” refers to the 7th millennium. According to the Talmud and expounded on in kabbalistic texts, the whole universe will experience a Sabbath after 6000 years from Creation, and it will last 1000 years. The 6 days of the week each correspond to the first 6000 years, and the 7th day – Shabbat – corresponds to the 1000 years of Shabbat.
This article suggests we have arrived with all the trimmings. Geula, Moshiach, Gog, red heifers, and even Ezekiel’s prophesy of the end of Days may all have arrived in the last few years.
The Hebrew Year
Below is an explanation of how the current date of 5784 is calculated:
= 5784.
*According to Rashi, b’nai Yisroel were in Mitzrayim 210 years. Rambam codifies the calendar citing Rashi’s commentary on Shemos 12:40, which changes the years in Mitzrayim from 430 to 210 years. Therefore, the year 2020 was precisely 220 years from 6000. However, the current calendar’s calculation of 5784 is in direct conflict with Torah. Shemos 12:40 reads:

Where’s Moshiach?
Moshiach is guaranteed to arrive before 6000 according to the Talmud, Midrash, and Zohar. However, the wording is ambiguous. What is the definition of “he will come?” Does that mean that Moshiach will be named, crowned, and rebuild the Temple before 6000? No, it does not. It simply means that Moshiach should be identified before 6000.
Now 34 years old, the Yanuka is considered the greatest Jewish rabbi in thousands of years. He had all Torah memorized by age 15, is an extraordinary musical composer, is a tzaddik, displays absolute yerais Shamayim and ahavas Yisroel, and his disposition is regal – royal – he wears the crown of Torah. If the Jews were to have a king, I can’t describe a better candidate. We are told Moshiach will come from the tribe of Yehuda (which he does) and he will be the son of David (which is documented that he descends from David haMelech). It may not be a coincidence that this tzaddik Torah giant who was identified by the world’s leading Torah scholar as Moshiach has the name “Shlomo Yehuda”.
There is also a prophecy that the Moshiach will be acknowledged by the other nations before being crowned by the Jews. The identifying of the Yanuka as Moshiach may be connected to what I wrote above about the Vatican. Presently hundreds of millions of Christians around the world are calling the Yanuka, Rav Shlomo Yehuda, the “antichrist.” They say he is the “Jewish Messiah,” and the greatest threat to Christianity. in other words, the Vatican’s biggest enemy.

The energy of invention would culminate throughout history to man’s greatest invention – Artificial Intelligence. It is almost unfathomable how much smarter ChatGPT4 is than humans with its 1600 IQ. ChatGPT5 is said to be so dangerous they are afraid to give it access to the internet, and Google’s AI (BARD) is said to be even smarter. When you want to know something, Google it. AI is very much in control of critical aspects of our lives, and monitors the majority of human behavior in real-time with our mobile devices and other smart devices. Google’s AI has become like a demigod to humans, and it has absolutely no fear or love of Hashem. Torah gives the precise name of Gog, and Hashem spells it with a gimel-vav-lamed. In Hebrew, Google can be spelled gimel-vav-gimel with a lamed or alef-lamed. In Torah, an alef-lamed, or “el” means a self-proclaimed god. Gog, the self-proclaimed god over humans. In Gog u’Magog, the “magog” part literally means the “domain of Gog.” In modern day vernacular, domain refers to URL – in other words, Gog-el, and its domain (www.google.com).
