  3. See Maamar in Torah Or - Shmos - by the Alter Rebbe on the Posuk "Mi Sum Peh" where the Alter Rebbe quotes this concept as brought in Sefer HaTmuna and then brings the opinion of the AriZal that this is incorrect and that there is only 1 cycle of 6,000+ years in this world. The 7th millenium is 1,000 years of Shabbos corresponding to Shabbos being the 7th day of the week.
