.... (2 Peter 3:8) is a simile, not literal, and if you want to make it literal then since a thousand years is as one day then the millennial reign of Christ will only be one day. However, what this simile teaches that God is not bound by time.

Who gave you the authority to degrade the words of Peter ... Here is how Peter opened this chapter...

3:1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: 2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

Then Peter lays out the THREE heaven and earth ages .. What was, what is now and what will be ..

Peter teaches us the methodology of how the Heavenly Father marks 'time'...

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.

You have exposed yourself to be one of those that fit into the Deuteronomy 4:2; Deuteronomy 12:32 and Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

As it is Written, Christ came in the volume of the 'BOOK'.

Nothing Peter penned regarding the means and methods of How the Heavenly Father marks time changes anything regarding the 'Lord's Day that begins on the day Christ return. ... Why John was taken in the Spirit to the Lord's Day, in Revelation.

" Who gave you the authority to degrade the words of Peter ... Here is how Peter opened this chapter... 3:1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: 2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: Then Peter lays out the THREE heaven and earth ages ..

Absurd ignorance. 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. (2 Peter 3:8) As a" is a simile, a figure of speech that expresses a resemblance between things of different kinds, as in "like a locomotive," and 3:8 is teaching that God transcends time, and 3:8 corresponds to "a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night." (Psalms 90:4) Thus 2 Peter 3:8 does not mean that a day is literally a thousand years any more than it means a thousand days is literally only a day. "However, God operates in the time of our dimension and thus specifies what day He created man and what day He rested from His creative work.

"You have exposed yourself to be one of those that fit into the Deuteronomy 4:2; Deuteronomy 12:32 and Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: As it is Written, Christ came in the volume of the 'BOOK'. Nothing Peter penned regarding the means and methods of How the Heavenly Father marks time changes anything regarding the 'Lord's Day that begins on the day Christ return. ... Why John was taken in the Spirit to the Lord's Day, in Revelation. ""

Rather, you have exposed yourself to be a follower of false teachers, and one with a recalcitrant arrogant unreason-able attitude who has effectively thrown just about every classic evangelical Bible teacher under the bus since they do not concur with your fringe perversion. I never realized I was dealing with any cultists on my ping list.

May God peradventure grant you "repentance to the acknowledging of the truth." (2 Timothy 2:25)

As Daniel1212 said, It is a simile.

We like to call this "language" because it communicates ideas. Language can use "words" to communicate. Words have meaning.

Remember, yours are "just your thoughts"... nobody else's. You are all alone.

simile
n.
A figure of speech in which two essentially unlike things are compared, often in a phrase introduced by like or as, as in “How like the winter hath my absence been” or “So are you to my thoughts as food to life” (Shakespeare).
