I didn’t say it was metaphorical. It is hyperbole just like the 2 Peter verse. Scripture use metaphors in other places. While I believe we should strive to understand the literal message of scripture I don’t believe we should take hyperbole, and metaphors at face value.
No, I really can’t agree this can be interpreted as hyperbolic. Clearly, both verses are stated as pertaining in God’s sight. God’s tanscendence is noted thoughout Scripture, therefore, for a transcendent God our concept of time is meaningless, and that’s exactly what these verses state. These verses then are literally true in God’s sight, there is no difference between a day and a thousand years when you are not bound by time.
