Thousand years is infinitesimally too small to measure!?!


Did I really hear you correctly? I must not have read that post to the end the first time around.

What kind of calendar year are you on? That's like 20 adult life times!

That's an extremely long time to sit around and wait.

I had a guy freak out behind me cause I was going "too slow" for him. He was forced to "wait" like 10 extra seconds.

I tried to explain to him that "10 seconds was infinitesimally too small to measure." His jaws were aflappin' too fast to hear me.

I didn't have time to find OBW's quote, but I am so glad to hear this! OBW since you feel this way can you come to NY and get gas for me? The lines are about an hour long (absolutely nothing on your scale), you can't see the gas station from the back, you just line up in faith, and there might be a few fights. Anyway, let me know, I really appreciate this.

And the point was missed. (Maybe I needed a few more words.)

1,000 years is not too small to measure.

The amount of ink given to the 1,000 years in scripture is, when dealing in percentages, too small to have any real meaning. The purpose was part of a comment on the primary thrust of scripture. It is not the 1,000 years. It is not the "tribulation." And despite it being the ending of everything, even the New J is not the thrust.

It is what we do with this life that is the primary agenda and topic of scripture.
