The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

2 Peter 3:8-9, “But do not let this one fact escape your notice,

beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years,

and a thousand years like one day.

9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness,

but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to

come to repentance.”

Nearing the close of his second letter to Jewish believers,

Simon Peter urges his readers (us included) not to let one

thing escape notice: “with the LORD one day is like a

thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.”

This small phrase has been as maligned as any other verse

in the Bible. Those who want to embrace evolution want

this verse to mean that the six days of creation are a thousand

years each. But look at the context. Peter is not talking about

creation here. He is simply saying that God does not reckon

time like we do. To Him, a thousand years is like a single day.

Therefore, what appears to us as a delay in God’s promised

Coming, is not a delay at all. He is simply giving mankind the

opportunity to repent of sin and come to Him in faith. Read

the Bible with great care. Jesus is Coming Again! Keep looking

for Him, so you won’t be caught off-guard.

We love you abundantly!
