Subject: 1 day is 1000 years, why? |
Bible Note: Good point CDBJ, but what about the idea of being in the Last Days. If as Peter stated in Acts 2 we are in the Last Days since the day of Pentecost at least, becuase he said this is that spoken of by the prophet Joel, 'that in the last days I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh' then we have to be getting to the very end of the end days. This is why. If you draw a time line of earth history and place the day of Pentecost on the time line you have some 4500 years before it and some 2000 years after it. Now if Jesus comes again soon and wraps things up you can see how the day of Pentecost began the last third of man's history thus calling it the last days applies. But if you go too much further in the future say another 1000 years added to the one we are in, you see that the day of Pentecost was in the middle of the time line and thus it would be more like the middle days of man's history on the day of Pentecost when peter called it the Last Days. Now we could get all mentally indifferent to logic and just say, something like "who cares" but I think God's word is written with logic and understanding and that if Peter said that that was the Last Days and we are still in it, it HAS to end soon. God bless you. |
