Rev. Graham: "...We\'re in Last Hours"

[J-man]

For those who have a back ground in the biblical knowledge of "last days" , 1000 years and a day have often be intertwined as the same. If you use this logic of the biblical age of the earth, we are currently living in the 5th day and very close to starting the 6th. The start of the sixth day ushers in the judgment upon the earth with the 7th day as rest as we believers will forever be with the Lord. So yes, biblically speaking, we are in the last days.

Is this saying that for every 24 hrs equals a 1,000 years in the biblical time frame?
Does this math work out to approximately 4.5 billion years?
Math people??

:dunno
:wut

Exactly. This is what happens when math and I start to interact.

In what I have read about the last days, this verse has no impact. The comparison between one day and a thousand is a statement by Peter to show that God is patient.

I didn't say it was doctrine. I said they were intertwined. Just that there are several references that point to this only. Yes, Peter is referring to that but the comparison is made. Many scholars have just made it an issue of conversation using this method.
