The Talmud is made up of the MISHNA and the GEMARA. The GEMARA is the component of the Talmud comprising rabbinical analysis of and commentary on the Mishnah. The Gemara, which when combined with the Mishnah constitutes the Talmud.
Both terms come from a root G'MIR meaning "to perfect, to complete, to finish, to know well".
G'MIRA is a new kind of broadcast aimed to educate and edify Nazarenes and at the same time appeal to Rabbinic Jews, reclaiming Yeshua for Judaism and interesting them in the teachings of Yeshua and the Emissaries.
R. Kattina said: Six thousand years shall the world exist, and one [thousand, the seventh], it shall be desolate, as it is written, And the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. (Is. 2:11) Abaye said: it will be desolate two [thousand], as it is said, After two days will he revive us: in the third day, he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.(Hosea 6:2)
It has been taught in accordance with R. Kattina: Just as the seventh year is one year of release in seven, so is the world: one thousand years out of seven shall be fallow, as it is written, And the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day,’ and it is further said, A Psalm and song for the Sabbath day,(Ps. 92:1) meaning the day that is altogether Sabbath — and it is also said, For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past.(Ps. 90:4)

(b.San. 97a-97b)
