"But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years is as one day." 2Pet.3:8
Some people take this truth to mean that we can use wisdom to calculate the return of Christ and the end of the world. I have read that the time using this method is 6000 years from the beginning of history. The problem is that no man knows the hour or the day, only God Himself knows that.
"But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only." Mat. 24:36
God knows the end from the beginning. God created times and seasons to govern life on Earth. This idea of a day as a thousand simply means that God's time is not like our time. God does not have a digital clock to tell him what time it is. God has a plan and everything in that plan happens according to God's time, not ours.
So, don't waste your time trying to calculate the end of the world. And do not be deceived by those who apply natural science to Divine plans.
