1 | Does one day equal one thousand years? | 2 Pet 3:8 | mark d seyler | 164409 | ||
Hi Bows44, I would agree with what Doc wrote, that this verse is telling us that God views time differently than we do. I believe in a literal 7 day creation. About this being the 6th prophetic day, that doesn't really work. If you add up the ages at fatherhood in the genealogies, add the times of the sojourn in Egypt and of the judges, add the durations of the reigns of the kings, bringing you to the modern dating system at the time of the Babylonian captivity, you can fairly estimate the age of the earth at about 6180 years or so. Its not possible to be exact, because we are only given years, not months. Also, the possibility exists that kings or sons have been left out, however, in my opinion, unlikely that may be. But even if there were some left out, that would only increase the age of the earth. At any rate, it seems fairly certain that we are in the 7th millenia since creation already. These are some of my thoughts. Love in Christ, Mark |

Hi Mark, I also tend to agree with Doc's position. See note to Doc. Seeking truth, Bows44 |
