Subject: No Grounds To Spiritualize |
Bible Note: 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. 2 Peter 3:8 KJV (Emphasis added.) "Many make the false assumption that Psalms 90:4 repeated in 2 Peter 3:8 that "one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day" is grounds to spiritualize Revelation 20:4. This is obviously a figure of speech. It does NOT say that one day IS a thousand years." (Emphasis added.) (http://www.revelationcommentary.org/20_chapter.html) Moreover, Psalms 90:4 and 2 Peter 3:8 are not grounds to spiritualize other Bible passages that mention or refer to a day or days. When the Bible text says a day it means a day -- not a thousand years. When it says a thousand years it means a thousand years -- not one day. Moses fasted for 40 DAYS, not 40 years. Jesus was three DAYS in the grave, not 3,000 years. The sabbath is celebrated every 7 DAYS, not every 7,000 years. |
