That's not true. Yom actually appears well over 2200 times and it doesn't always mean a literal 24 hour days. For example:
Gen 1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.
Gen 1:5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.
"Yom" is the Hebrew word in verse 5 translated day. That shows that Yom can refer to a period less then 24 hours...or only the daylight portion.
Then there's this:
Gen 2:4 This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
Again "Day" is yom. This is referring to perhaps 7 24 hour days.
But yom can also mean "year":
Exo 13:10 You shall therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year.
Again "year" is yom.
From the BDB Hebrew definitions:
yôm
BDB Definition:
1) day, time, year
1a) day (as opposed to night)
1b) day (24 hour period)
1b1) as defined by evening and morning in Genesis 1
1b2) as a division of time
1b2a) a working day, a day’s journey
1c) days, lifetime (plural)
1d) time, period (general)
1e) year
1f) temporal references
1f1) today
1f2) yesterday
1f3) tomorrow
Part of Speech: noun masculine
Just pointing out that you won't win this argument by defining "yom" as a literal 24 hour day according to scripture.

Dispensationalists believe we will be
out of here on the Feast of Trumpets
I believe God is waiting for as many to accept him as possible, then He will come back, but he promised He would return before the generation that saw Israel’s rebirth passed away. That means it is close.
Hey bud
And this blogger is claiming much more than that

LOL, give me a break.
Hey Chuck...not many of us left from the old days ay? :-)
I won’t venture to reply to all the silliness on this thread, but I will say a few things:
1. “No man knows the DAY or HOUR”. What does the verse say? Am I claiming to know the DAY or HOUR? Yet the Bible REPEATEDLY commands believers to WATCH for the signs and the coming of the LORD. Why does Jesus list off a myriad of signs in Luke 17, Matthew 24, etc? Why does the Apostle Paul tell the Church to watch for that day so that they are not caught unaware? What about Daniel, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Zecharaiah, and Revelation... books FILLED with end time prophecies?
2. Have I made any personal prophecy? Have I set a date? Have I added to the words of the Bible? Perhaps I have a wrong interpretation here or there, but I take God’s Word as is. Those calling me “false prophet” are silly as I don’t claim to be a prophet nor have I claimed to make any prophecy EVER.

This is a Phrase the the prophets

>> “No man knows the DAY or HOUR” <<
With those words Yeshua told every in-covenant Hebrew that was present exactly what day, and what hour, but not the year.
The day and hour are Tishri 1, at sunset.
That is why he told us to “watch” in Revelation 3:3.
When the “Man of Sin” stands on the mercy seat of the Ark of the Covenant to show us that he is God, we will then also know the year, 3.5 years later.

>> “That phrase describes the Feast of Trumpets (Tishri 1)” <<
Precisely.
Most who call themselves “christians” will be in terror when that day comes.

Usher did an excellent job.
100% of all previous messengers of god have been fakes...
This man is not Jed (often mistaken to be doing so due to the way he writes up what is presented from that one (Jed) to be prophetic message.
Nowhere in [ahem] messenger's dissertation did he (she? I doubt this one a woman, writes like a man) make himself out to be God, unless I missed it, which I suppose could be possible...

And no, we should not make belief in a young earth a condition for salvation.
However, this is really not the central issue of the young earth/old earth debate. Any theologically sound Christian believes that anyone who truly trusts in Christ's blood is eternally secure (even if they are misguided in some areas e.g age of the earth, end-times events, etc.)
The reason the young-earth timeline is critical to many creationists and why they defend it so vigorously is this: the interpretation of Genesis 1 fundamentally effects one's understanding and application of the Gospel.
The 6000 years is not actually derived from 2 Peter 3:8, which is often taken out of context to prove the days of creation were, in fact long ages (as you said, it is a simile. And it refers to the end of time, not the beginning). Rather, it comes from the genealogies found in Genesis 5.
If the earth's age was not important, God would not have placed any of this in the Bible. But the fact that He explicitly says literal days and gives the age of the earth through genealogies means it is important.
It is important because "days" as long ages means death before sin. If this is really true, then why was Man's fall such a big deal? Why would Christ come to save us from the consequences of something that had been happening for the millions or billions of years before Man in God's "very good" creation?
What would that say about God Himself?
Not saying you need to change your views, but I hope you see why this is such a big deal to some.
