1 | 1 day is 1000 years, why? | 2 Pet 3:8 | Scribe | 39506 | ||
Understand that the context is talking about mockers that come and speak against the coming of the redeemer to judge the world for ungodliness. These mockers were in Enochs, day and he contended with them also. The same devils motivated the men that came against Enoch and that mocked the promise that Enoch prophesied. That the Lord would come with 10,000 of his saints to execute judgement upon all....(see Jude.) Then also others mocked after the flood, being ignorant that the Flood was "a coming" for those mockers on the other side of the flood. Then Peter states that don't be ignorant of the fact that God is not slow concerning His Promise of the Coming of the Lord, both in salvation for us and in Judgement for the mockers.. Because with the Lord a day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years is as a day to Him.. Meaning in my opinion and within this context that "in the light of eternity where God dwells He is not being slow." Or .."so what if it has been 2000 years , what is that to God. It is still a short time. I do not think that God was trying to introduce a new mathematical formula. This is not the meaning of the phrase to me, to somehow present a new way of calculating time. That is not what He was saying. He is quoting an old testament verse and when you read that Old Testament verse no one ever says that God is meaning to calculate one day for a thousand years for prophetic time tables... Psalm 90:4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. Now after you see that Peter is quoting Psalms 90:4 do you see how the spirit of the message is that even though it may seem like a lot of time has past since the prophesy of the Coming of the Lord in the Old Testament was Given, and this is the same promise renewed in the New Testament... that even so it is only a short time in God's view and soon to be Our view when are there with Him. Praise God. Live ready for the Coming of the Lord draweth nigh! |

let's start with genesis 2:7...god tells adam that the "day".....you eat frim the tree you will truly die!...now did adam die that same day?yes but according to god's day(solar)not a 24 hr day!proof:adam died at 930 years old. 70 years short of the 1000 years!hence you have psalms 90:4....and 2 peter 3:8-10...genesis 5:5 tells us adam died at 930 years..then he died...in god's day..also remember adam was to toil..in the sweat of his face...work the ground "for dust you are and to dust you will return......it took 930 years...then he died..in god's day....read Isaiah 8:20....you have to use the law and testimony to understand god's pattern...read Luke 24:27..and 44-45...jesus always taught using the law and prophets! | ||||||
