2nd Peter 3:8 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.
According to the erroneous view, by which the days of creation week are reckoned as seven vast periods of time, measuring at least 1000 years each is both non-scriptural and impractical in nature. Now, if this view was correct, then we will have to conclude that Adam never kept the Sabbath, nor did Noah, or Abraham, for all of them fell short of living one thousand years, some more, some less.
Genesis 5: 5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died…. Genesis 26: 5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws…. Before we move on there is one issue that needs to be clarified, so that the truth could be made clear in our minds. The Scripture tells us that after the war in heaven concluded, satan and his angels were cast out.
And since the sacred record clearly states that satan showed up at the forbidden tree, it then begs the logical question of when he was cast out. Some folks have stumbled on this point, and consequently, they reached two conclusions: [1] That the earth had to be in existence before creation week, at least in its chaotic form. [2] That God knew that satan was present on the earth before doing the work of creation. This has caused some to think of malice, when the work of creation was being accomplished, but this view is incorrect.
Revelation 12: 7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
May God add his blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
