(Alpha and Omega;67635)
Not only that Ken but I also tried to find Hebrew idioms and I was successful. However I didn't find any mention of this verse in them at all. So if anyone can point me to a website that mentions that this is a Hebrew idiom that would be great.Also, Ken I would agree with you that the Lord isn't traveling. He is everywhere to begin with. He being eternal, infinite implies that he is outside of time, matter and space. However my original post way back in the other thread was just to show an interesting point that the math is so close to the speed of light. I didn't do the math (I'm not that smart) I just got it from a website. Like I said before the Lord talks to us with metaphors, smilies and of course in literal terms. This verse is a simile.
It really doesnt matter to me if anyone gets this or not I was only trying to show this because its the key to one hour of temptation in Rev. One hour in a thousand year period is the same as 5 months on earth (our time ) its the amount of Time the Locust army will be on earth thats one reason why God wanted us to understand it . He always gives a second wittness but believe what you will that God reveals a big hidden thing ... that he is forever/timeless ..Duh .. like thats a big wowie of a secret we all already know ...Im not trying to be right Im trying to show you guys how awesome and perfect Gods word is but hey you guys think you got it down fine by me ..Im done trying to show you you have to find it in Hebrew if it was commomly understood all Christians would get it right they didnt understand it. ........................ (Mynv Pla hb "qh) (lv wmwy) , "the day of the holy blessed God is a thousand years" a common saying among the Jews- -founded on the same passage,this phrase should be thought to refer, as it is by some, to the day of judgment, and be expressive of the duration of that: it is certain that the Jews interpreted days of millenniums, and reckoned millenniums by days, and used this phrase in confirmation of it. Thus they say F1, ``in the time to come, which is in the last days, on the sixth day, which is the sixth millennium, when the Messiah comes, for the day of the holy blessed God is a thousand years.'' And a little after, ``"the Lord hath created a new thing in the earth, a woman shall compass a man". This is in the time of the Messiah which is in the sixth day.'' And elsewhere F2, ``the sixth degree is called the sixth day, the day of the holy blessed God is a thousand years. And in that day the King Messiah shall come, and it shall be called the feast of gathering, for the holy blessed God will gather in it the captivity of his people.'' So they call the sabbath, or seventh day, the seventh millennium, and interpret F3 ``"the song for the sabbath day", (Psalms 92:1) title, for the seventh millennium, for one day of the holy blessed God is a thousand years.'' To which agrees the tradition of Elias, which runs thus F4; ``it is the tradition of the house of Elias, that the world shall be six thousand years, two thousand years void (of the law), two thousand years the law, and two thousand years the days of the Messiah;'' for they suppose that the six days of the creation were expressive of the six thousand years in which the world will stand; and that the seventh day prefigures the last millennium, in which will be the day of judgment, and the world to come; for ``the six days of the creation (they say F5) is a sign or intimation of these things: on the sixth day man was created; and on the seventh his work was finished; so the kings of the nations of the world (continue) five millenniums, answering to the five days, in which were created the fowls, and the creeping things of the waters, and other things; and the enjoyment of their kingdom is a little in the sixth, answerable to the creation of the beasts, and living creatures created at this time in the beginning of it; and the kingdom of the house of David is in the sixth millennium, answerable to the creation of man, who knew his Creator, and ruled over them all; and in the end of that millennium will be the day of judgment, answerable to man, who was judged in the end of it; and the seventh is the sabbath, and it is the beginning of the world to come.'' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOOTNOTES:F26 Bereshit Rabba, sect. 8. fol. 7. 3.
