In the third sentence of the Bible we are told God created light (Genesis 1:3). Do you know how fast light travels; what the speed of light is? – 186,000 miles a second! If we could travel at the speed of light then time as we know it would cease to exist. If we could travel at 186,000 miles a second, time would be instantaneous to us; it would be as though we could travel forwards and backwards simultaneously! God is like that. That’s why the Bible says: “And do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness.” (2 Peter 3:8-9)
