In 2 Peter 3:8, which is quoted above, Holy God reminds us that one day is as 1,000 years. Therefore, with the correct understanding that the seven days referred to in Genesis 7:4 can be understood as 7,000 years, we learn that when God told Noah there were seven days to escape worldwide destruction, He was also telling the world there would be exactly 7,000 years (one day is as 1,000 years) to escape the wrath of God that would come when He destroys the world on Judgment Day. Because Holy Infinite God is all-knowing, He knows the end from the beginning. He knew how sinful the world would become. | ||
Seven thousand years after 4990 B.C. (the year of the Flood) is the year 2011 A.D. (our calendar). 4990 + 2011 – 1 = 7,000 | ||
[One year must be subtracted in going from an Old Testament B.C. calendar date to a New Testament A.D. calendar date because the calendar does not have a year zero.] | ||
Thus Holy God is showing us by the words of 2 Peter 3:8 that He wants us to know that exactly 7,000 years after He destroyed the world with water in Noah’s day, He plans to destroy the entire world forever. Because the year 2011 A.D. is exactly 7,000 years after 4990 B.C. when the flood began, the Bible has given us absolute proof that the year 2011 is the end of the world during the Day of Judgment, which will come on the last day of the Day of Judgment. | ||
Amazingly, May 21, 2011 is the 17th day of the 2nd month of the Biblical calendar of our day. Remember, the flood waters also began on the 17th day of the 2nd month, in the year 4990 B.C. |
Well, I guess that proves it. Darn! What couldn't god have just waited a couple more weeks? I had a trip to New York City planned for the next week, and it would have been my first visit to that city. You know American Airlines ain't gonna refund that ticket. Just my doggone luck!
Enjoy your trip cuz g0d has been on vacation for about 5 brizillian years and is not expected back for another 5 or so.
ReplyDeleteThe buyBull duds are not to strong when it comes to science or math.
These are the people who make me as a liberal, thinking, scientifically literal Christian (who also happens to be an ordained minister in a liberal, thinking, scientifically literate denomination) cringe when they spout their garbage. Biblical literalism bears more in common with Islamic fundamentalism than it does with Christianity as practiced for two millennia by the vast majority of us.
ReplyDeleteFundamentalism as a bastardization of Christian belief came about in the early 1900s. It makes us all look bad. Sadly, as those who avail themselves of fundamentalist beliefs throw all logic and reason out the window, arguing with them, as a Christian, as a person of any other faith, or as a person of no faith at all is utterly pointless.
They do, on occasion, make me laugh after I've stopped crying.
