epoch time comparison bsd / MacOSX

This should be obvious to all but me,

I have a file full of epoch timestamps and I'm trying to get the records from the last 7 days.

So I tried this in my mac: 

PAST=$(gdate -d "7 days ago" +%s)
if [ $timeval -gt  $PAST ]; then
  do stuff 
 fi

Example erroneous output: 

TS from data, Human fr data, TS from $PAST, Human from $PAST

The timestamps in your file are in milliseconds, not seconds. Divide them by 1000.
