“A Temporal Rift”

For every one day in Heaven that passes, one thousand days pass on earth.  How many days would have to pass on earth to equal one thousand years in Heaven?

Sincerely,

Dear All About The Math,

If we were simply doing math, the answer would be 365 million days… but this subject isn’t about arithmetic.  You have misunderstood 2 Pet 3:8.  That verse isn’t discussing a literal time-delay between Heaven and Earth; it is addressing the patience of God (as seen in the following verse – 2 Pet 3:9).  God is patient with mankind and is patiently awaiting the proper time to end this world (2 Pet 3:10) because He wants everyone to have the opportunity to obey Christ.
