Bible Note: 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 |
