Subject: 1 day is 1000 years, why? |
Bible Note: Love Fountain God placed the time constraint on man for two reason to make us appreciate eternity and to put order in our lives. Since we are not infinite beings without time we would burn ourselves out. Again I think the God used the terminology he did here to show that time held no consequence to Him, unlike man. Now I have heard those speculate that God is saying here a day is a thousand years and therefore creation took place in 7000 plus years instead of 7 days. Again I believe this is twisting scripture to explain something Satan has us questioning to begin with. EdB |
