“But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”
But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day — the Psalm 90:4 allusion addresses the perceived delay of the parousia from a human perspective. Divine temporality (divine timelessness) transcends human chronological expectation. The equation dissolves the scoffers' taunt: a thousand years of waiting is, to God, a single day.
