Christians....Do you understand this? ( Archived) (359)

In the Bible is a statement that a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day. I find most Christains do not understand the meaning and its importance. Do you?

well the Bible is the word of God, so he can talk to you and me and I can read the same thing as you and we can both take away different meanings and both be correct, remember the ways of God are so far above our ways as the heavens are above the earth, that quote to me is like einstein, there is no passage of time everything is happening at the same time

There is only one understanding that is true. It is interpeted by the Bible only. When one understands this plain and simple thing, it opens much to understanding. The end of days has been misunderstood but becomes clear once the statement above is understood.

many people lean to their own understanding and think the Bible speaks to them differently. The bible says that it is not for private interpetation.....(and it is not.) God is not the author of confusion.

I say this kindly!

Last time I checked books where incapable of interpretating any thing being that they are inanimate objects



Another words you have interpreted it one way and any one that sees it a different was is wrong ,

If your going to extract information from the bible at least include the entire passage;

2 Peter 3:8-9 (New International Version)

8 - 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. 9 - The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

The obvious point here is that God is not bound by time. The bible will always be interpreted differently by different people. I have found biblical discussions within the forums to be a complete waist of time.

God is making a short work of seven thousand years. Each thousand years is as a day and a day is as a thousand years. From Adam until the end of the thousand year rein of Christ is a week of days. (one thousand years each.) When the term latter days and end of days is used it means the latter days of that prophetic week....not the end of all 24 hour days as some think is the end of the world. If one knows this, one can see the time of the death of Christ was in its proper day of that week the same as that of the pascal lamb of Passover and from that time....we are now ending the latter day before the coming of the Sabbath rest of Christs rein. We are at the end of a day and most of us will see or our children will see the return of Christ. Those of his shall enter into his rest....the seventh day as was always and not the first.(Sunday) Much more is understood from the knowing that a day is as a thousand years of that week of days. Count the days to the return of Christ. if you do not know when Christ paid our debt.....look at passover and the Pascal lamb....which he was for us.....the lamb of God.

I hope this opens understanding for those called.

Good post
