2 Peter 3:8. 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.
We see some try to use this verse to establish a time piece for God. BUT IT ACTUALLY MEANS NO TIME. The Emphasis is on Gods patience and longsuffering. Easily seen when you consider the surrounding verses.
2 Peter 3:3-9.
Let's entertain this reasoning for a second.
If you're going to use this measurement as time for God you have to also use it for verse 10.
2 Peter 3:10. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; ...
That DAY would have to measure a thousand years also!!
And how does that "thousand years day come as a thief in the night? Sounds silly doesn't it? IT SHOULD.
#1 God is from EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING!! He stands on the outside of time ( Outside this world ). Looking in. perhaps another dimension altogether.
God gave us a way to chart time in
Genesis 1:14. And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for DAYS, and YEARS:
The evening and the morning means a 24hr day. He communicate with us using this scale throughout the scripture.
70 years captivity in Babylon is just one of many examples.
One day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day if you look at it carefully it's like saying 2 steps forward and 2 steps backwards.
YOU'RE RIGHT BACK WHERE YOU STARTED. NO TIME AT ALL!!

THE EMPHASIS IS ON GODS LONGSUFFERING.
GOD BLESS
