Bible Note: 'A Thousand To One 'Some have tried to argue the nonliteral interpretation of the word "day" in Genesis one by referring to what the apostle Peter says in 2Pet. 3:8; that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. But Peter was simply saying that what man regards as a long time is like a mere day in God's reckoning of time. He was speaking in the terms of relative perspectives. It's equivalent to saying: To a very rich man a thousand dollars is like one dollar, whereas, one dollar is like a thousand to a very poor man.' ____________________ Source: www.biblicist.org/bible/light.shtml |
