Berean Standard Bible

“Beloved, do not let this one thing escape your notice: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.”

2 Peter 3:8

Save as image

Study note

In chapter 3 Peter answers scoffers who mock the promise of Christ's return, arguing that everything has carried on unchanged since the beginning (3:3-4). He reminds his readers that God has acted decisively in history before, and then draws on Psalm 90:4 to address the question of timing.
