Law to Division of Land -- 46 Years

Israel's forty years, or "day of temptation in the wilderness" [Deut. 8:2; Psa. 95:8-10; Heb. 3:8,9] was followed by six years of war in Canaan and the dividing of the land among the tribes. One year, one month and five days elapsed from their going out of Egypt to their leaving Sinai for Paran. [Num. 33:3; 10:11-13] It was then, from Kadesh-barnea in the wilderness of Paran, that the spies were sent.

Caleb, when applying for his portion at the division of the land said, "...these forty and five years, even since the Lord spake this word...while Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, lo I am this day four score and five years old." [Josh. 14:7,10]

Period of Desolation -- 70 Years

The period of the desolation of the land lasted 70 years and was ended by the restoration of its people from Babylon in the first year of Cyrus, B.C. 536. [2 Chron. 36:20,23]

From the Desolation to A.D. 1 -- 536 Years

The period from the time of the restoration of the Jews from Babylon, at the close of the 70 years desolation of their land in the first year of Cyrus, down to the date known as A.D. 1 is not covered by Bible history.  However, it is established by secular history as a period of 536 years.  Ptolemy, a learned Greek-Egyptian, geometer and astronomer, has well established these figures in what is known as Ptolemy's Canon.

From A.D. 1 to A.D. 1873 -- 1872 Years

From creation to A.D. 1 was a period of 4128 years.  From A.D. 1 to 1873 is 1872 years.  Thus, the 6,000 years from creation ended in 1873 A.D.

4128 years + 1872 years = 6,000 years

The last 1,000 years of this 7,000 year period, which begins in 1873 A.D., is designated the "Millennium" or period of Christ's 1,000 year reign.
