Question: What does 2 Peter 3:8 mean - “With the Lord one day is as a thousand years”?

November 3, 2008

Question: In 2 Peter 3:8 it says:

But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. (NKJV)

What does that mean?

Answer: In the following verse, we see that in context, the expression in 2 Peter 3:8 is in reference to why Jesus is taking so long to come again: “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9, NKJV)
