Has anyone heard of this theory? I ran across a tiktok video last night that suggested that, per the bible, one day for man equals 1000 years for God. Because of that, it took him 6000 years to create everything (on the seventh day he rested).
Based on that, the time for the start of creation to end is 6000 years and that the end of this 6000 year's is 2024.
Thoughts?
Here it's a YT link to the video: https://youtu.be/bjO1otDNbp4
My thoughts, since you asked...
The idea that one day is like a thousand years comes from various scriptues, 2 Peter 3:8. Psalm 90:4. It seems to me to be used poetically rather than descriptively.
Not having the bible referenced in the video, I can not assess the genealogy timeline it lays out. So, not enough info.
References to the book if Barnabas as a "lost" book makes me think it was one of the gnostic gospels, which I discredit at face value - but would have to read to see what it says and assess its truthfulness.
The whole idea of this theory indicates that we are in the sixth day, meaning God has still been creating this whole time. And I could get behind that to a certain point, but as it stands I don't think so. I tend to believe humans have been around much longer than 6,000 years and I take the days spoken of in Genesis to be "periods of time".
