1 | 1 day is 1000 years, why? | 2 Pet 3:8 | Love Fountain | 39499 | ||
Dear CDBJ, The question I asked you was,"Do you see God's statement that 1000 years to us is as 1 day to God having any reference to time as we know it in referrence to the length of this earth age?" I was asking in regards to the beginning, middle and end which I see as the length of this earth age. My reason for this question has come from the 1 day with God as 1000 years to man referrence which I find myself asking for wisdom and understanding. Recently when reading John 11 about the resurrection of Lazarus, I believe the Holy Spirit gave me a witness to the length of this earth age and how 1000 years to man is 1 day with God. In John 11:17 Jesus comes to Lazarus who has been dead 4 days. I believe these four days are symbolical for the 4000 years that mankind was dead in their sins prior to the birth of Jesus. In John 11:6 Jesus stayed and waited 2 days before going to raise Lazarus from the dead. I believe those 2 days to be symbolical of the 2000 years between Jesus' first and second visit amongst us. Then you have the day that Jesus resurrects Lazarus from the dead, which I believe is symbolic of the 1000 year millenial reign in which we will see the resurrection of the people in Christ and the end of this earth age at the end of the millenium. This is the reason for my question of this earth age being 7 days long to God which is 7000 years to man. What do you think? Bless you, Love Fountain |

I believe that the Bible should be interpreted at face value and that we should try to understand what the author is trying to convey. We also must realize that there are figures of speech throughout God's Word and that we aren't to allegorize everything that is said. If you want my honest opinion about what Christ did by taking so long before going to resuscitate Lazarus, I think Jesus made it perfectly clear why he took so long. John 11:15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him. John 11:39-40 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. 40Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? John 11:42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. John 11:45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him. There wasn't a doubt in anyone's mind that Lazarus was dead he was even to the point of decomposition yet Jesus brought him back! John 20:30-31 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: 31But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. |

Dear CDBJ, Thank you for your honest opinion. You state,"I believe that the Bible should be interpreted at face value and that we should try to understand what the author is trying to convey." If we interpret at face value the following, Luke 14:26 26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. KJV At a face value understanding of the above verse one might think Jesus is saying you cannot be my disciple unless you hate yourself and everyone you know. This of course is not the understanding implied by Jesus but could be misconstrued if accepted at face value. Bless you, Love Fountain Rom 11:33 33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! KJV |

I can point out that the Bible says that there is no God, but I would be pulling that out of context as well. |
