2 Peter 3:8

SIX PERIODS OF BIBLICAL TIMES ------------------DURATION

I- From Adam to the Flood-(Gen.5 plus 7:11)------1656 years

II- From the Flood to Abraham-( Gen. 11&12)-------427 years

III- From Abraham to Exodus-(Gal.3:17)-------------430 years

IV-From Exodus to king Saul-(1Reis6:1(480-84)-----396 years

V-From Saul to the fall of Jerusalem ------------------508 years

VI-From the fall of Jerusalem to Jesus ----------------587 years

Thus,from Adam to the 1st coming of Jesus --------4004 years

From Jesus to our days(Christian Calendar)---------2023 years

Total from Adam to our days -------------------------6027years

If we use the 2nd half of this verse to count. then the math here should be 9027.

Because 1000 years is as a day and Jesus who is GOD as the Son of Man said I will raise in 3 days. Yes , No , Thoughts?

So is it because I am thinking like a human and can not perceive GODS thought as this passage in implying with time?

So confusing this is why so many people give up on the Bible.

Just to reply briefly (since I've written about this to you just now), you cannot use 2 Peter 3:8 to conduct or investigate a timeline as you have shown. It simply doesn't apply. 2 Peter 3:8 is simply an expression used there to demonstrate God's patience & that He is not bound by a clock.
