Garden of Gethsemene

John 18:1 When He had finished praying, Yeshua left with His disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley.  ON the other side there was a garden, and He and His disciples went into it.Now Judas, who betrayed Him, knew the place, because Yeshua had often met there with His disciples. So Judas came to the garden, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.
4 Yeshua, knowing all that was going to happen to Him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”
“Yeshua of Nazareth,” they replied.
“I am He,” Yeshua said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.)When Yeshua said, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.

"I AM" He.  At His reappearing, this scene will be repeated.

Isa. 45:9 “Woe to those who quarrel with their Maker,those who are nothing but potsherds among the potsherds on the ground. Does the clay say to the potter, ‘What are you making?’
11“This is what YHVH says—the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker:
Concerning things to come,
19 “I am YHVH, and there is no other.  I have not spoken in secret, from somewhere in a land of darkness; I have not said to Jacob’s descendants, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I, YHVH, speak the truth; I declare what is right.
23By Myself I have sworn, My mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before Me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear.  They will say of Me, ‘In YHVH alone are deliverance and strength.’” All who have raged against Him will come to Him and be put to shame.  But all the descendants of Israel will find deliverance in YHVH and will make their boast in Him.

    1. Sorry, I don't really know and didn't think to ask. I would guess maybe hundreds of years and not thousands although I could be wrong.
