8 Chaverim, let not this one thing escape your notice, that "A thousand years in the eyes of Hashem is like one day"*3:8 Ps 90:4 and one day like a thousand years. 9 But Hashem is not slow concerning his havtachah (promise), as some consider slowness, but is demonstrating savlanut (patience)*3:9 3:15 toward you, not wanting any to perish but all to come to teshuva (repentance). 10 But the Yom Hashem will come as a ganav (thief), in which the Shomayim with great suddenness will pass away and the elements, burning up, will be destroyed, and the Olam Hazeh and its ma’asim will be found ou.*3:10 Num 32:23
