But forget not this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Do not be ignorant like the scoffers. God's delay is not weakness but long-suffering. To Him, a thousand years and a day are one; He inhabits eternity where all future things lie present to His knowledge, and His power needs no long delays. He is never slack.
AI summary
This objection melts away when you remember that God has no time as we reckon it. A thousand years or a single day, to Him there is no long or short. What seems an age to us is nothing before His eternity.
AI summary
Stop measuring God's calendar by your own flesh. When you lift your mind to His eternity, a thousand years vanish like moments. The day of judgment does not hang on the clock's tick but on God's hidden counsel, not on your impatience.
