Tues.'s Devo - Your Time Line

Read 2 Pe. 3:1-8
All through history there have been those who have laughed at the prophecies of God. They laughed at Noah when he warned them for years that water was going to rain down from heaven and drown the earth. They had never seen rain before so his words seemed absurd. But, whether they believed or not it happened and they were all destroyed. The world we now live in will be destroyed by fire according to the Bible and the unbelievers will be destroyed by it. Believers, like Noah will be lifted out of the world and not harmed by the fire. Then Peter dropped in a nugget of truth that is a gold mine when trying to figure out time and events. He says that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. Every thousand years represents one of the days of creation. So the first thousand years is summed up in the first day. "In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. And the eath was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness; And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night." In the first thousand years it was the beginning of everything. There was God's creation of Adam and Eve and there was Satan (light and dark) Sin was introduced as dark and God was introduced as light. People lived in darkness mostly with a few bright lights like Enoch who walked with God. During this thousand years God distinguished what was sin and what was righteousness. We are in the 6th day where man is elevated to a god and the human form is highly worshiped. On the 7th day the earth will rest just as God did. The Bible calls this Millennium.
Lord, your Word is from everlasting to everlasting. Everything we need is written in these pages. It is life and our daily food. Help us to rightly divide it and eat its fruit.
