A Day As A Thousand Years - Christian Eschatology
Second Peter three is a much abused text in the study of Christian eschatology (the end times and last days prophecy). One of the most abused passages in the chapter is verse 8. "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." How have the futurists, skeptics and Dispensationalists used this verse? In a word, backwards.
What I mean is that they have used it in exactly the opposite manner as that intended by the Apostle. ...

We arrive at the last of John Hagee’s alleged 10 Road Signs to the End, the signs he believes and writes are the Countdown to imminent Armageddon. The last of these signs is based upon Jesus’ Old Testament reference to Noah and his generation’s experience of the flood.

Those who believe the end time events are yet
future, do not readily recognize or acknowledge
the implications of that conclusion.
For example, the Dispensationalists assume that
the law has not yet been fulfilled. They are at
least consistent in their reasoning on that point.
They understand that to fulfill the law means that all the prophecies
are fulfilled. Thus to accept that the law is fulfilled wipes out their entire millennial theory, Rapture and the ...

The key to successful interpretation of Bible
prophecy in the New Testament is to always
find it's source in the Old Testament to unlock
the meaning.
That was the method of the Christ and the
apostles. Prophecy in the Apocalypse: What
is the meaning of Revelation 1:7?, explores
those concepts.
Failure to follow this simple interpretive guideline
leads to unbelief, frustration and all sorts of
fanciful interpretations and doctrines.
Most people pick up the Book of Revelation because of their fascination with prophecy and intrigue for the signs and symbols within. Immediately they assume a posture of predicting the future. Current events,
news reports, and natural calamities supply an unending gold mine ...
