Hi Makarios, 2Pet.3:8 says 8But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769. Now we know Adam lived 930 years Ge.5:5 then died. Ge.2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769. Adam did not live past that day. So if 930 years is not one day who is to say what realy is? I hope this make sence , I'm not very good at putting my thoughts down on paper.In Christ Scott. |

Makarios, Ps.90:4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769. does this not answer the thousand day , one day priciple. Gen.1:14-19 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for SIGNS, and for SEASONS, and for DAYS, and YEARS: 15And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 16And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 17And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. 19And the evening and the morning were the FOURTH DAY. The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769. God did not divide time into a twenty-four hour day until the fourth day, so the first 3 days could have been much longer then 24 hours. Lets go back to Adam , God said in the DAY that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Is God lying? for Adam lived 930 years. Now if you take the thousand year ,one day principle Adam died before the day was finnished. And if you take the stand that this is a spiritual death are you not then making this allegorical? Now I ask this question because I beleave the whole bible to be both a narritive and allegorical. Did God rest on the seventh day? If so why does Jesus state in Jn.5:17 But Jesus answered them, My Father WORKETH hitherto, and I work. The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769. Could it not be , because we are now living in the sixth day? and the seventh day is in the near future.Just a thought. In Christ Scott. |

Hi Hank poor choice of a word on my behalf. I should have used both a narritive and a spiritual meaning. I do beleive that the whole bible has meny spiritual meanings hideen in it. I beleive that from the opening of the bible in Gen. to the close in Rev. that the bible teaches us about God the Father,Jesus Christ the son and the Holy Spirit. Now if there is no spiritual meanings in the book of Gen. how do you explain what is written in 1pet.3:20-21 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 21The LIKE FIGURE whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769. Is this not both a historical narritive as well as having a spiritual meaning? There is also the story of Abraham and Issac, a narritive of what happend ,but also with a spiritual meaning Heb.11:17-19 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 18Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: 19Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure. The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769. There are many more ,Joseph , Melchisedec, Isaac, Jacob(Israel) etc. So what i'm saying is that just because it is a narritive of what actualy took place does not mean that there is no spiritual meaning behind the narritve.In Christ Scott. |

Hi Makarios I'm not saying 930 years is not 930 years , or 6 days not 6 days. What i'm trying to say is that the 930 years of Adam life was less then the (1) day that God told Adam he would die in. When God told Adam he would die in the DAY that he ate of the fruit of the tree Adam died. Adam died at 930 years of age , the bible says in the Day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. So one DAY is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one DAY 2Pet.3:8KJV , so Adam died before the DAY was completed.So if God makes a differance here in the day of Adams death ,whos to say that He did not also do this on the days of creation? I hope this helps answer the question on 4-8-2. Questions to you , did Adam die in the day God said he would? If your answer is yes does this not show a 1000 year one day principle? In Christ Scott |

Hi Hank I do beleive that Adam died a spiritual death , but that he also died a natural death as well. Makarios stated that a day is a day,and will not allow for it to be longer then a day(at least that my understaning of what he is saying) ,and I was trying to explain that a day could also represent a 1000 years. If you read all my corispondances to those on this link you will see I beleive there is both a natural and a spiritual application to the scriptures.In Christ Scott |

Hi Hank it seems we are not going to come to an agreement on this as I do see it as a spiritual death and a natural death. But you did ask one finnal question that I will answer to. Why must we insist on reading into scripture what is not written into scripture? Nowhere in the bible that I can find does it say Adam died a spiritual death ,if I'm wrong please show me the scripture as it may be of help. But if there is no scripture in the bible that shows this was a spiritual death are you not reading into the scriptures what is not written in them. The scriptures do say however that Adam did die a natural death. God bless Hank, and I hope we can come to agreement on other scriptures as we reason them out together.In Christ Scott. | ||||||

Hi Makarios I can see that you and Hank are of the same opinion this subject but you state that my theory of 1000 years as one day and one day as a 1000 years is proven wrong.Bear with me one more time as I try to make myself clear. God told Adam he would die in the day he ate of the fruit of the tree,you maintain this to be a spiritual death,I on the other hand maintain it to be both a spiritual death and a natural death.He died a spiritual death the moment he ate of the fruit of the tree , this was the beginning of that day, the beginning of the 1000 year day , but he also died within the 1000 years at 930 years of age. It was in this 1000 year day that Adam had his sons and daughters.Adam did not live past 1000 years of age so he in fact died a natural death before the day was over.Lets look at the word die it comes from the Hebrew word MUWTH and has this meaning 4191 muwth (mooth) a primitive root; TWOT - 1169; v AV - die 424, dead 130, slay 100, death 83, surely 50, kill 31, dead man 3, dead body 2, in no wise 2, misc 10; 835 GK - 4637 tWm 1) to die, kill, have one executed 1a) (Qal) 1a1) to die 1a2) to die (as penalty), be put to death 1a3) to die, perish (of a nation) 1a4) to die prematurely (by neglect of wise moral conduct) 1b) (Polel) to kill, put to death, dispatch 1c) (Hiphil) to kill, put to death 1d) (Hophal) 1d1) to be killed, be put to death 1d1a) to die prematurely Enhanced Strong’s Lexicon, (Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.) 1995. Nowhere here does it state anything about a spiritual death or seperation from God. If you take a litteral stance to the scriptures Adam had to die a natural death in the day he ate of the fruit of the tree,and as the bible does not lie , the 1000 year one day principle is the only alternative to what God said " for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die". The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769. To take a day is a day and that is all it is is makeing God a liar,I cannot except this as God DOES NOT LIE. 2Pet.3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769. Now as to Acts 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769.One blood. You say this is Adam , I beleave this to be Jesus Christ.May God bless you and I hope we can come together again and reason the scripures together. Your brother in Christ Scott. |

Hi Tim welcome, 2Pet.3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769. You state that those that originaly read Gen. would not understand a principle not revealed until 2Pet. But I beleave the people of old did understand this princilpe,because Peter say be not ignorant of this one thing. Ignorant has this meaning 1. lanthano (2990), “to escape notice,” is translated “they (wilfully) forget” in 2 Pet. 3:5, rv, lit., “this escapes them (i.e., their notice, wilfully on their part),” kjv, “they willingly are ignorant of”; in v. 8, rv, “forget not,” lit., “let not this one thing escape you” (your notice), kjv, “be not ignorant of W.E. Vine, Merrill F. Unger and William White, Vine’s complete expository dictionary of Old and New Testament words [computer file], electronic ed., Logos Library System, (Nashville: Thomas Nelson) 1997, c1996. So they are told not to willfuly forget that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years,and a thousand years as one day.Now to willfully forget something would mean we had to know it to begin with. Now as conserning Jeremiah this was the priest and prophets and all the people that said unto Jeremiah thou shalt surely die. They said this because they didn't like what Jeremiah prophesied unto them. God keeps safe his own, and God was not done with Jeremiah. If it was God that said because you have prophisied falsely you are going to die ,well then goodbye Jeremiah. God keeps life and takes life as He sees fit,not as men do. As to Jonathan Saul would have killed him but the people withstood him,because God by Jonathans hand won the day. So you see it was because of God that Jonathan was not killed,for if God had allowed the battle to be lost Jonathan would have been killed by Saul,because the people would have thought that the battle was lost because Jonathan unnowingly went agaist Saul command. Now as you say it was a death sentance placed upon Adam this I can agree to ,but Adam still died before the 1000 years was up. Question: you take a litteral stance on day but when it come to the day of Adam death you take a spiritual stance. How come? As said before I take both a litteral and a spiritual stance. One more thought in Gen.2:4 it say These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769. Now these generations (all six days of Gods creative work)are said to be in the Day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens. Now if God says all six days of creation are a day whos to say how long a day realy is? In Christ Scott |

76 | Year Long Sabbath | Acts 1:3 | Sctt | 43871 | ||
Hi Makarios , you write where in Leviticus 25:1-7 do you see any reference to a 'year long Sabbath'? Verse 3-4 seems plain to me , we are to work the land for six years ,but in the seventh year you are not to work the land as it is a sabbath for the Lord. Therefore you have a sabbath that last one year. In Christ Scott |

77 | Year Long Sabbath | Acts 1:3 | Sctt | 44050 | ||
Hi Makarios I don't disagree ,but I think what Nimrod2 and I are trying to say is that a sabbath can be longer then just a day , as these scriptures show that a sabbath to be a year.I'm not saying this scripture relates to a sabbath day only that a sabbath can be longer then a day.

79 | What was infused? | Acts 1:3 | Sctt | 44209 | ||
Hi Nimrod2 Just one more thought for concideration. Look at Alaska they have six months of day and six months of night.So you could say that their day was six months long. Just a thought, God bless. P.S. thanks for the help on this thread I realy had no idea it was such a hot topic. One thing I think everyone will agree on is that God in His own time and after His own fashion will reveal the truth of this matter to us all. In Christ Scott | ||||||

Hi Tim you say 2pet.3:8 is a similie but the jews took this as fact not as a similie I let John Gill explain this as had far greater access then I to what the Jews believed. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing…Here the apostle addresses the saints he writes unto, and for whom he had a tender affection and regard, and for whose welfare he was concerned, lest they should be stumbled at the length of time since the promise of the coming of Christ was given, and which these scoffers object; and therefore he would have them know, observe, and consider this one thing, which might be of great use to them to make their minds easy, and keep up their faith and expectation of the coming of Christ: that one day (is), with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day; referring either to (Psalms 90:4) ; or to a common saying among the Jews,founded on the same passage, (Mynv Pla hb "qh) (lv wmwy) , "the day of the holy blessed God is a thousand years" F26; suggesting, that though between thirty and forty years had elapsed since the promise was given out that Christ would come again, and should even a thousand, or two thousand years more, run off, before the coming of Christ, yet this should be no objection to the accomplishment of the promise; for though such a number of years is very considerable among men, ye not "with God", as the Arabic and Ethiopic versions read, with whom a thousand years, and even eternity itself, is but as a day, (Isaiah 43:13) . Unless this phrase should be thought to refer, as it is by some, to the day of judgment, and be expressive of the duration of that: it is certain that the Jews interpreted days of millenniums, and reckoned millenniums by days, and used this phrase in confirmation of it. Thus they say F1, in the time to come, which is in the last days, on the sixth day, which is the sixth millennium, when the Messiah comes,for the day of the holy blessed God is a thousand years. And a little after, "the Lord hath created a new thing in the earth, a woman shall compass a man". This is in the time of the Messiah which is in the sixth day.And elsewhere F2, the sixth degree is called the sixth day, the day of the holy blessed God is a thousand years. And in that day the King Messiah shall come, and it shall be called the feast of gathering, for the holy blessed God will gather in it the captivity of his people. So they call the sabbath, or seventh day, the seventh millennium, and interpret F3 "the song for the sabbath day", (Psalms 92:1) title, for the seventh millennium, for one day of the holy blessed God is a thousand years. To which agrees the tradition of Elias, which runs thus F4; it is the tradition of the house of Elias, that the world shall be six thousand years, two thousand years void (of the law), two thousand years the law, and two thousand years the days of the Messiah; for they suppose that the six days of the creation were expressive of the six thousand years in which the world will stand; and that the seventh day prefigures the last millennium, in which will be the day of judgment, and the world to come; for the six days of the creation (they say F5) is a sign or intimation of these things: on the sixth day man was created; and on the seventh his work was finished; so the kings of the nations of the world (continue) five millenniums, answering to the five days, in which were created the fowls, and the creeping things of the waters, and other things; and the enjoyment of their kingdom is a little in the sixth, answerable to the creation of the beasts, and living creatures created at this time in the beginning of it; and the kingdom of the house of David is in the sixth millennium, answerable to the creation of man, who knew his Creator, and ruled over them all; and in the end of that millennium will be the day of judgment, answerable to man, who was judged in the end of it; and the seventh is the sabbath, and it is the beginning of the world to come. As to the word beyom: These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day (beyom) that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.… Here day refers to the entire period envisioned in the first six days of creation W.E.
