* Time in the sight of God.

 
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.

Comments by Joan Boney:

So in the Bible, when we read the apostles saying that Jesus comes "soon", and when we read the word of Jesus where HE says HE comes soon, we have to understand the framework of God view of time.

Viewing a thousand years "as one day", this would be only 2 days since Jesus was crucified and resurrected.

In man's view of time, it is over 2,000 years.

One thing certain, God's plan and God's time is perfect.  There is no need for us to fret or worry.  God is not late.  God is not early.  It is perfect.

We just watch and marvel at God's power and works.
