[8] But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. [9] The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. ~ 2 Peter 3:8-9
When Peter tells us that a thousand years is like a day with the LORD and a thousand years like a day, he’s referring to the coming of the LORD. Now, what does this have to do with the Feast of Booths since it’s the final day of the feast? Well, if a thousand years with the LORD is like a day and a day like a thousand years, and is all in connection to the coming of the LORD, then there is a subtle or hidden message in those words.
There’s seven days of creation and roughly somewhere over six thousand years since creation. Where does that leave us? For six days God worked, but on the seventh day He rested. For six thousand years the earth has been worked by man, but for a thousand years we will rest with the LORD. What a reward. What a fulfillment.
Everything God has authored in His Word has meaning. It’s never just for no reason. Today is the last day of the Feast of Booths, take time today to search His Word and learn more about the LORD and what He has in store for His people.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Look To The Millennia.
