So Peter must be studied to understand (along with Daniel in the Old Testament)what these "keys" are. II Peter 3:8 says. "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." These very important mathmatical formula's are very important to better understanding when Jesus will return. The number "7" is associated with rest throughout the Bible (seventh day, 70 weeks, 7 years, etc.). IF one truly believes the Bible then they have to believe that God created the Sun, moon, stars, and all we see and are and rested the seventh day as He said He did. And He santified it (meaning "set it aside" as a sign to Him as our Creator who provided all that we enjoy from day to day. And in that first formula (remember that Peter is talking about the return of Jesus in II Peter 3), if it is applied to the Book of Genesis and the Garden of Eden the senario is this: God is in Heaven, Adam and Eve in the Garden and God said, "In the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." Eve and Adam did eat and one could assume that they would die before the sun set on that day. But Adam died when he was 930 (Gen. 5:5) years old. God was in Heaven when He told Adam (who was on earth) and Adam did die according to that formula (one day with the Lord [in Heaven] is as a thousand years [on earth]). The second formula appliies to the "Book of Endings, Revelation. The righteous are removed and resurrected from the earth and taken to live with Him for "a thousand years' (on earth) and during that thousand years Satan is "bound to the earth and "the wicked dead" remain dead until the end of that thousand years when they will be resurrected, "for a short season." In my Bible it is printed that creation took place in 4004 bc. The flood was two thousand years later, He left His Son two thousand years later, and here we are today, two thousand years later (by our calendar-and ours is wrong-but not quite by God's). Daniel was told over and over, ". . .the time is appointed."<br />When Danielasked the Angel when this would be the Bible says, "and he held up his right hand and his left hand." There are but five fingers on one hand-he needed both for a very good reason. Our planet is in trouble. The smartest minds around this earth are trying to figure out what is going on. Volumn's have been written on "Global change and global warming," and not one say's "God is in control of earth's history." Without Christ there is no hope for anything on this earth and this is our "training camp" for heaven: it's about what we eat, how we care for other's, and how we have our relationship with God. For of the Ten Commandments deal with how our relationship with God should be and six (the greater commandment) is how we should deal with one another. I didn't write it but I do believe it. No, I don't know the "day nor the hour." But the watchman is standing by.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
