ONE DAY IS AS A THOUSAND YEARS

BUT, BELOVED, DO NOT FORGET THIS ONE THING, THAT WITH THE LORD ONE DAY IS AS A THOUSAND YEARS, AND A THOUSAND YEARS AS ONE DAY. THE LORD IS NOT SLACK CONCERNING HIS PROMISE, AS SOME COUNT SLACKNESS, BUT IS LONG SUFFERING TOWARD US, NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH BUT THAT ALL SHOULD COME TO REPENTANCE. 2 PETER 3:8

ONE DAY A THOUSAND YEARS, A THOUSAND YEARS ONE DAY. ONLY GOD CAN TRULY RELATE TO THIS WONDER. OUR FINITE MINDS CANNOT GRASP THIS PHENOMENON.

THE HOLY SPIRIT INSPIRED PETER TO REVEAL TO US GOD’S GREAT PATIENCE TOWARDS US. GOD DOESN’T WANT ANY OF US TO PERISH. WHEN WE FALL AND SIN HE IS LONG SUFFERING TOWARDS US AND WANTS ALL OF US TO COME TO REPENTANCE. WE DON’T SERVE AN ANGRY, HATEFUL GOD. WE SERVE A LOVING LORD, WHO LOVED US SO MUCH THAT HE SENT HIS SON TO DIE IN OUR PLACE.
