A Thousand Years in His Sight is One Night
When we talk about the ‘here and now’, we tend to be very short-sighted. The overview is but the passing of the night. And the return of the Christ is imminent (and has been for a thousand years).
“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”
Matthew 24:36 (NIV)
In my dream last night there was a countdown clock that started with the number three and had seven digits. That set my mind to wondering what the countdown was for. It couldn’t be how may days I have yet to live because that would be outside of my ‘normal’ lifespan. So, I then thought it might be a thousand years, and then the lightbulb came on in my head. Jesus died in 30 AD. There is speculation that the Third Temple must be built in Jerusalem before he can return. That seems to be happening now.
I’m going out on a limb here: Jesus’ return may be exactly two thousand years from his ‘death’ and resurrection. Like clockwork, the Universe is unfolding as it should.
8“But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.”
So, not long now.
