A Day is like...

A Day is like...

a thousand years

~ ~ ~

2 Peter 3:8 tells us that:

A Day  and  A Thousand Years

are connected in some way.

will explain

2 Peter 3:8 NIV...

says

"But do not forget this one thing, dear friends:

with the

Lord

a day

is like

a thousand years,

and a

thousand years are like a day."

Why did God

compare

a thousand years to a day? 

This page

gives a theory of

why.

I will add that

we also see this time connection concept in

Psalm 90:4

"For a thousand years in thy sight

are but

as yesterday when it is past,

and as a

watch in the night."

Psalm 90:4

Many people look at the 2 Peter verse

and say that

God sees time

differently than we do.

Even senior citizens see time differently than young people. 

But I personally

do not believe

that

God seeing time differently 

is the only thing God is trying to get across.

Let's look more closely...

To those

who want to 

look closely and dig deeper...

I personally think that

God is giving us a clue to information about the

approximate time

when

Jesus will come back for the rapture

and soon after

for His second coming.

After those events,

Jesus sets up

the 1,000 year millennium kingdom in Jerusalem. 

Some people only believe in the 2nd coming (not the rapture)

which is fine for this theory.

If you are interested

in this topic

then

consider

watching

the fictional movie below.

I like the movie,

but

if you want to

skip

right to the point -

skip to

30 minutes 22 seconds

which is what I would recommend

Or - if you think you can keep up ...

35 minutes 24 seconds

End of the Harvest

Some of the ideas from the movie:

Hosea 6:2 - Speaking of Israel - God's chosen nation... after 2 days (or 2 thousand years?) God will revive them (Israel) ... And God did revive them after 2,000 years. in 1948.

Exodus 19:11 - The Hebrew people were to meet with God on the the third day.  (That could be after 2,000 years and shortly into the next thousand years..... this might be a clue to the time of Jesus coming back.)

Matthew 17:1  - After 6 days  (6 thousand years?) - This was the Transfiguration, and it could foreshadow the receiving of glorified bodies after 6,000 years.

The time from Adam and Eve to Jesus is 4,000 (or 4 days?) and from Jesus to today is about 2,000 years (or 2 days?).

I have posted another video on this same topic

that is

overflowing

with Scriptures and examples

and things to ponder.

This is just a theory.

Note:

click the box in the lower right corner of the video.

As far as Adam's time of death, here is another possibility:

The text translates to "IN that day", not "ON that day." It has the same meaning as "you shall die in your sins", as in 'in the presence' or 'in the consequences.'

If you are interested in end times, we have a few pages.
