"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."

Ya. brings to mind the old hymn, "Oh G-d, Our Help In Ages Past". Relevant line: "A thousand ages in thy sight are like an evening gone."

'tis a hymn I've always liked and makes much sense to me. The Lord is not constrained by either time or space. The bilical story of creation is written as something that can be understood by a people of the desert. Besides, it is beautiful prose.

An excellent example. Thanks. Sadly, that hymn is not as much in use as it once was.
