But shun profane and vain babblings

[tailgator]

It doesn't say 1 day = 1,000 years. It says one day is "like" (this is just contextually refuting the folly of the mockers scoffing re the apparent delay in Christ’s coming). We are looking at a simile. It is a generality. It is just saying time is nothing with God. That is it!

It is very simple: Peter makes clear that there is absolutely no uncertainty over the realization of the Lord’s “promise” to return. He affirms: “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise.” Essentially God will assuredly keep His Word. Peter also reminds us that time is nothing with God (“beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day”). 2,000 years might be long to us, but they are but a blink to God. This is an important truth that many tend to forget. Peter then reminds the ignorant of one of the character traits of God toward man: He “is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”

The focus of this message is speaking about the sudden and unexpected destruction that the end-time-cynics experience upon Christ’s appearing. The teaching explains how these fools deny Christ, despise His Word and scorn the likelihood of His return. The near 2,000 years that have already elapsed since our Lord’s first Advent is used as a basis for their mocking. They use this supposed delay as an opportunity to propagate their foolishness. 2 Peter 3 makes clear, those that would consider this as an opportunity for scorn will be swiftly and assuredly caught in their only folly at His coming. Like the wicked locked outside the ark and the iniquitous left behind in Sodom, the end-time scoffers will be punished for their scoffing. These evildoers will be exposed when Christ returns and pours out His wrath upon them.

The day of wrath comes with Christ’s appearing, the day when the rebellion of man will finally be brought to an end. Those that have despised God’s great offer of mercy in life will then face the awful consequence for their error. They have only succeeded in accumulating wrath “against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God.” Christ comes to judge the righteous and the wicked, the living and the dead at His appearing. The day of opportunity is finally over.

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.


But there are those who prefer to remain ignorant of that one thing.

Look in the mirror and desist from false accusations. Lies are what Satan throws, not Jesus.

Still healing.
He has not stopped working yet.


Luke 13:32
He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.’

Grow up. I am done with your childish antics. I am going to call your mum.

Grow up. I am done with your childish antics. I am going to call your mum.

Be not ignorant of this one thing.

[David in NJ]

You wouldn't have to ask everyone where is the promise of his coming if you actually paid attention to the people who tell you when Jesus comes.


8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.


But you prefer to be ignorant of when he comes.

The scriptures do not speak of amillennialism.

However, you must reexamine your focus on the "thousand years" given in 2 Peter 3:8 and compare it to Hosea 6:2


"8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."

"After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence."
